The asteroid, according to a team of scientists, was the chief perpetrator, while the volcanism, driving climate change in the background, might have affected life’s recovery in the wake of the ...

Two intense spells of volcanic activity 450 million years ago triggered a period of global cooling and falling oxygen levels in the oceans, leading to the extinction of 86 percent of all marine life.

Precision dating strengthens idea that climate-altering Deccan volcanism contributed to dinosaur extinction.

How did volcanism trigger climate change before the eruptions started? New dating of a major ancient warming shows warming started before major eruptions.

A study published in the journal Geology rules out that extreme volcanic episodes had any influence on the massive extinction of species in the late Cretaceous. The results confirm the hypothesis ...

An Earth-sized planet orbiting a dim star in our galactic neighborhood is offering some of the best evidence to date of volcanism beyond our solar system, with observations suggesting a rugged and ...
