Hello! 👋
The ROTTnROCK project has officially started (as of 01/04)! 🥳
Stay tuned for updates!
All four PIs will be at EGU next week, so don't hesitate to talk to us about the project!

New paper out about the distribution, intensity, and timing of palagonitisation in glaciovolcanic deposits! 🥳 The paper, led by Sophia Leiter UBC EOAS, focusses on the case study of Cracked Mountain volcano in Canada 🌋🇨🇦 Check it out here 👇

ROTTnROCK PI Claire Harnett delivers the opening keynote at the Physics of Volcanoes conference! 🌋 Looks like there are some rotten rocks in that dome!

Opening talk at the Physics of Volcanoes workshop. Great new results from the three dimensional modeling front. ⁦ROTTnROCK⁩

Bombs of the hydrothermal seal at a collection of Costa Rican volcanoes reveal their secrets! 🌋
Hydrothermal alteration can also make rocks, not just destroy them!

Altered rocks for the win! 😍

Hydrothermal alteration can also make volcanic rocks strong! 💪

😍 Alteration for the win.

New La Lettre de l'EOST Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre features a write up about our new European Research Council (ERC) project ROTTnROCK 🌋 and Patrick Baud's recent EGU EMRP EGU medal 🏅
