New research suggests that Kiladze, a feature on Pluto previously thought to be an impact crater, is more likely a caldera from a supervolcano eruption, indicating recent geological activity and potential residual warmth in Pluto's interior.
A new study using machine learning analyzed 15 years of seismic data from Yellowstone, uncovering ten times more earthquakes than previously recorded, revealing insights into earthquake swarms and fault structures that could improve safety and geothermal energy development.
Campi Flegrei near Naples, Italy, has a history of massive eruptions and ongoing seismic unrest, but current signs do not indicate an imminent major eruption. Researchers are studying its complex internal structure and fluid buildup to better understand potential risks and improve monitoring and mitigation strategies for the densely populated region.
A team from Kobe University has found that a 7,300-year-old volcanic eruption is the largest in the past 11,700 years, ejecting over 4,500 square kilometers of lava. High-resolution marine seismic reflection surveys revealed that the submarine deposits cover an estimated volume of over 71 cubic kilometers based on the isopach map.
A new study reveals that an eruption at Santorini volcano 1,300 years ago was far more violent than previously thought, with a magnitude similar to the 2022 Tonga eruption. The findings suggest that explosive blasts can occur even in periods of relative quiet, challenging previous assumptions about the volcano's behavior. The eruption ejected a significant amount of material, indicating an elevated hazard potential for the eastern Mediterranean region. This research highlights the need for continued monitoring and assessment of volcanic activity in the area.
Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera will be shut down on September 21 to focus on future Call of Duty content, including the current Warzone free-to-play experience and the upcoming Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. The shutdown does not affect the multiplayer in Modern Warfare 2019, Black Ops Cold War, or Vanguard, nor does it impact the current iteration of Warzone. Call of Duty is expected to return to Modern Warfare when it releases later this year.
Top Warzone 2 pros and streamers are returning to Caldera due to frustrations with the current game and its direction. Many players prefer the feel and gameplay of Warzone 1. Streamers have been celebrating the fluid movement and heightened skill gap of Caldera. Some top stars have even taken to trolling Activision and the devs. The playerbase is dropping, and the devs will need to make changes to win over players.
