A short review of pyroducts (lava tubes)
Lava tubes and caves, when accessible for man, are very common in volcanic environments and poorly known to non-specialists. This short overview presents the distribution and forms of lava tubes, their speleothems and mineralogy and modes of formation.

Minerogenetic mechanisms occurring in the cave environment: an overview
Perhaps man’s first motivation to explore caves, beyond using them as shelter, was the search for substances that were not availableelsewhere: most of them were minerals.

Characteristics of the micropseudokarst landforms in Pâclele Mari mud volcanic area (Romania)
In this paper, we present the results of the geomorphological study of the micro pseudokarst landfoms developed on Pâclele Mari mud volcanic site that belongs to the famous mud volcanic area Berca-Arbănași, Buzău Subcarpathians, Romania.

Morphometric Analysis of the Jingpo Lake Volcanic Field: A Terrestrial Analog for Lunar Lava Flow
The lack of high-precision imaging data for lunar volcanic regions currently hinders the detailed characterization of lava tube systems and their associated fine-scale geomorphology.

Young volcanic terrains are windows into early microbial colonization
Volcanic eruptions generate initially sterile materials where biological processes are absent, allowing for the fresh colonization by new organisms. This review summarizes the characteristics of volcanic habitats that are available for pioneer microbial ...
