New study reveals the anatomy of Uturuncu, the “zombie” volcano

Researchers from the University of Oxford’s Department of Earth Sciences have helped to reveal the inner workings of Bolivia’s “zombie” volcano, Uturuncu. By combining seismology, physics models and analysis of rock composition, they identified the causes of Uturuncu’s unrest, alleviating fears of an imminent eruption. The findings have been published in the journal PNAS.
