Tenerife, where we take our volcanology students on fieldwork, is slowly having its world-class roadcuts, which expose 2 million years of Las Canadas caldera's volcanic history, covered in concrete. What can we do? @Geotenerife Instituto Geográfico Nacional-O.A.CNIG


Many congratulations to Janina Gillies (Janina Gillies 🌋) who submitted her PhD thesis recently. Her PhD was on textural evolution of pyroclasts in weakly explosive basaltic eruptions, supervised by Ed Llewellin, Dr Fabian Wadsworth & Richard James Brown. Her viva is next week!


And many congratulations again to Janina (Janina Gillies 🌋) who passed her PhD viva yesterday with minor corrections! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Many thanks to the examiners Emma Nicholson (Liu) and Madeleine Humphreys!






Our volcanologists had a great time on the Durham Earth Science booth at the Celebrate Science family festival in Durham last week! We had a make-your-own explosion station, a microscope for looking at thin sections, coloring pages, and a sink or float test (pumice vs obsidian).
