Lava that erupts from hotspots around the world seems to come from a similar ancestral magma, new research finds.

Scientists are installing multiple temporary seismic monitoring stations to get a better understanding of the sharp increase in earthquakes recorded at Mount Adams.

Six earthquakes were recorded at Mount Adams in September — the highest number in a single month since records began in 1982.
