Conversely, mud volcanoes typically form when gases such as methane and carbon dioxide build up pressure that's released violently. According to the paper, Lusi is both a mud volcano and a ...

Known locally as Lusi, the cause is what is known as a mud volcano. It began erupting liquid more than a decade ago and hasn’t stopped since — it may not for another three decades. At its peak ...

The mud volcano known as Lusi started on May 29, 2006, and at its peak disgorged a staggering 180,000 cubic metres of mud every day, burying villages in mud up to 40 metres thick. The worst event of ...

Scientists recently published a paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth about the historic Lusi mud volcano. Following is a transcript of the video. This volcano is spewing ...

The scientists saw features they interpreted as a magma chamber under the Arjuno-Welirang volcanic complex, located a few miles away from the Lusi eruption, and a large feature under the mud ...

The mud volcano known as Lusi started on May 29, 2006, and at its peak disgorged a staggering 180,000 cubic metres of mud every day, burying villages in mud up to 40 metres (131 feet) thick.

Underground pressure means the volcano "Lusi," in Sidoarjo, East Java, is likely to gush grey mud until 2037, when volumes will become negligible, according to their computer model. But gas will ...

The Lusi structure – a contraction of Lumpur Sidoarjo, meaning “Sidoarjo mud” – is an example of a geological feature known as a mud volcano. They form when a combination of mud ...

Scientists say the Lusi mud volcano in Indonesia should not be erupting in any significant way by the end of the decade - much sooner than previous estimates. The assessment is based on satellite ...

Adriano Mazzini/The Lusi Lab Project In the days after the mud volcano erupted, Mazzini and other geologists and seismologists set out to figure out what had set it off. Some suspected the oil ...
