Description
Darcy Cordell and three co-authors challenge a volcano watching claim in a 2025 comment paper. The claim came from the 2021 La Palma eruption: ground electric readings, tracked over time, were said to watch magma move deep below. The method reads how rock resists current, and shifts can hint at molten rock.
Cordell's team argues the shifts are more likely a bad contact at one sensor pair than deep action. They set their case against earlier time-tracked studies of the same kind. If the data wobble is gear-born, the magma story falls. The comment presses for tougher proof as the method grows.
