There's a major underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon called Axial Seamount that is causing international attention and could be erupting this year. It's described as the most active submarine volcano in the Pacific Ocean's northeasterly swath. This underwater volcano is located off the coast of Oregon and is currently being closely monitored for signs of an eruption. Researchers at the University of Washington, in collaboration with other institutions, have shared that Axial Seamount is li

Seismic imaging of magma reservoirs within an active deep-sea volcano. Initial findings from the AXIAL 3D Expedition to Axial Seamount, Juan de Fuca Ridge, NE Pacific Ocean A 3D seismic reflection survey in July-August 2019 on board the R/V Marcus G. Langseth set out to constrain the geometry of regions of magma storage within Axial Volcano, an active submarine volcano with eruptions as recent as 1998, 2011 and 2015. The locations of the two main magma reservoirs were identified in previous 2D s
