Study maps 466 submarine volcanoes in Southeast Asia and surrounding regions
Recent research from the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has indicated that Singapore, which was previously thought to be safe, may be vulnerable to volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. The study, published in EGU’s Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences in April 2024, discovered 466 submarine volcanoes in the region, emphasizing the potential threats posed by submerged seamounts in the South China Sea.
