This week’s digest looks at earthquakes, volcanoes, and the broader concept of whether we need plate tectonics for a habitable planet.

An earthquake in Indonesia, a lake on Mars, and old ice in the Antarctic – all are included in this week’s geoscience roundup.

This week looks at the sadly topical issue of wildfires, along with the ongoing eruption at Kilauea and a swarm of tiny earthquakes in Washington State.

There are some big names in volcanoes this week – Kilauea, Krakatau and Öraefajökull. And we take a quick look at the question: How cold can it get?

This week’s article looks at landslides in Japan, Iceland and Turkey, a dearth of earthquakes and the situation at Kilauea.

This week there are unintended consequences of the melting of Antarctic ice, plus updates on Kilauea and a look at seismic activity in Iceland.

This week’s geoscience roundup looks at volcanism in the past (worldwide), the present (Kilauea) and, possibly, the future (New England).

Geoscience covers a range of events and the key to minimising deaths is risk management. This week looks at recent happenings in Kilauea, hazard management in Chile and what we can learn from Mexico’s defeat of Germany in the World Cup.

This week the focus is on eruptions past and present – Kilauea, Novarupta and volcanic hazards – with a quick look at whether it’s unusually quiet on the earthquake front.

This week there are two strongly contrasting volcanic eruptions in the news – Kilauea in Hawaii, and Guatemala’s dramatic and devastating Fuego.
