    Underwater volcanoes play a key role in shaping marine ecosystems and influencing climate, but their long-term impacts often remain less visible and understood. How do these impacts compare to land-based eruptions in terms of immediate and long-term effects? Do we have the tools to fully measure and predict their long-term environmental outcomes?
