Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, University of Birmingham and Manchester Metropolitan University analyzed velocity data from 85% of the world's approximately 217,000 glaciers.

They found that glaciers near active volcanoes typically flowed 46% faster than other glaciers.

The findings could enable volcanologists to develop a new early warning system for potential eruptions at sites such as Eyjafjallajokull .
