The biggest volcanic eruptions in the Solar System are taking place not on Earth, but on Io, a moon of Jupiter. This wonder of the Solar System is a fascinating volcanic laboratory where powerful volcanic eruptions result from tidal heating, a process that also affects the ice-covered moon Europa. In our June webinar, Ashley Davies describes how studying volcanoes on Earth leads to a clearer understanding of how volcanoes on Io work - and how best to study them from spacecraft.
