New high-precision argon isotope dating of the Ontong Java Plateau indicates that it is 10 million years younger than previously thought, according to Peter Davidson and colleagues. The Ontong Java ...

A groundbreaking study led by scientists from the University of Maryland and the University of Hawaiʻi has finally solved a long-standing geological puzzle: the connection between two of the largest ...

When plumes of magma well up through Earth's lithosphere, they create volcanoes, islands, seamounts, and other features on the surface. Telltale hot spot tracks form as tectonic plates move over these ...

After decades of speculation, scientists have linked the massive Ontong-Java Plateau to the Louisville hotspot, solving a volcanic mystery that rewrites the Pacific Ocean’s geologic history. A trail ...

The tsunami risk of an underwater plateau formed during earth's largest volcanic eruption will be part of an Australian-led research voyage. Australian researchers will lead an international effort ...

Volcanic processes in oceanic plateaus are dominated by high-volume, often short-lived eruptions linked to mantle plume activity and interactions with mid-ocean ridges. Magma ascent can occur through ...
