New study and recent news coverage (2025)

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello everyone, I wanted to draw attention to a recent study published on April 28, 2025, regarding Uturuncu volcano, which may offer new insights that could be useful for updating or complementing the existing article. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), can be accessed here: 1 Additionally, a recent CNN article (dated May 5, 2025) reports on the findings in more accessible terms: 2 Perhaps someone more familiar with the topic can help assess whether and how this information should be incorporated into the Wikipedia article. Thanks! Ruditaly (Talk) 09:52, 8 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Greetings, Ruditaly. By default, I always update the article at the end of the year, so that I don't miss any sources. That one will go in in November-December, unless someone does it just now. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:03, 8 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
