The Curtin University researchers recently underlined a study that underlines the activities of an ancient supervolcano in Indonesia and further found that active and hazardous volcanoes that were not active for more than thousands of years after a super eruption period can still be activated. This research study is aimed at rethinking measuring and solutions about how these potentially catastrophic events can be predicted. The team notes that gaining an understanding of the mechanisms of these lengthy and dormant formats of volcanoes can help the human population in order to determine the next set of eruptions. Super-eruptions are said to be the most catastrophic events in the history of the Earth that have the ability to spew tremendous amounts of magna at an almost accelerated phase. The team notes that global climate to the point of tipping the Earth into a potential “volcanic winter”.
Volcanic winter is often referred to as the period where an abnormally cold period can engulf the Earth which can lead to a widespread domino effect of famine and population disruption. The team notes that learning how supervolcanoes work is expected to teach the latter on how to avoid the dangers which are expected to occur once every 17,000 years. The team previously investigated the volcanic eruption of the Toba super-eruption that occurred once every 75,000 years using a combination of minerals feldspar and zircon which are said to contain independent records of time based accumulated gasses argon and helium as time encapsulated in the volcanic rocks. The team used this set of geographical data using advanced methods such as statistical interference and thermal modelling to indicate that magna continued to spew through the caldera for 5000 or 13,000 years even after the super-eruption event occurred.
