Bolivia's zombie volcano, Uturuncu, is active after 250,000 years. Scientists discovered gas buildup below the surface, ...

Scientists have mapped what are essentially the bones, blood vessels and nervous system of a "zombie volcano ... data to peer through the volcano, including seismic monitoring that tracked ...

Carbon dioxide emissions from rising magma is one of the earliest signs that a volcano is waking up, but measuring it ...

However, this indication is also why researchers believe that the eruption risk is low. Uturuncu isn’t the only zombie volcano researchers are monitoring. From this study, the research team is hoping ...

Researchers used seismic tomography to reveal that fluid buildup, not magma, is driving Uturuncu’s deformation, indicating ...

Beneath the tall peaks of Uturuncu in the Sur Lípez Province of Bolivia, scientists have figured out what is happening in the magma chambers deep underground, as materials slowly make their way up ...

Recently published work based on the "zombie" volcano Uturuncu has shown unique insights into the architecture of volcanoes, which complement the type of hazard monitoring conducted at Ontake volcano.

Zombie volcanoes,' thought extinct, can unexpectedly reactivate, challenging the definition of an 'active' volcano. Bolivia's Uturuncu, dormant for 250,000 years, exhibits gas and earthquake ...

Further research could also lead to a new way to harness geothermal energy. Uturuncu is not the only zombie volcano that has existed. "Over decades, the Global Volcanism Program has recorded about ...
