This Monday, #Yellowstone #CalderaChronicles explores Taupō caldera, New Zealand -- Yellowstone's sibling in the southern hemisphere. Like Yellowstone, Taupō has geysers, seismic swarms, and ground deformation, and it experienced a bout of unrest in 2019! ow.ly/sV8g50FwavN

Yellowstone is not the only large caldera system in the world. In New Zealand the Taupō caldera system shares many similarities with Yellowstone—a history of large eruptions, geysers, earthquake swarms and ground deformation. ow.ly/ZjRZ50FBr9V #DYK #CalderaChronicles

A great review on supervolcanoes has just been published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 by ECLIPSE researchers MBIE Science WellingtonUni

Past supereruptions include events at #Yellowstone, #Aso, #Taupō & #Toba🌋 Find out more about their diversity in this Review Supervolcanoes @Cooper_geo Dr. Katy Chamberlain Simon Barker @SeismologyFinn @MonStER_Lab_ UUSS nature.com/articles/s4301… free: rdcu.be/cp3kn

📣📣 We are currently taking applications for the 21/22 Ahunuku Māori Summer Scholarship Programme! This programme is delivered in partnership with WellingtonUni. Click here for details about available projects, eligibility details, and how to apply: bit.ly/2WRFXLk

Exciting news! GSNZ Conference early-bird registration deadline extended to Saturday 30 October & abstract submission to Friday 24 September! Some places for the family BBQ, conference dinner & field trips are still available, but these are filling up fast so register soon!

We've had our project "Climatic and environmental impacts of the largest explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth" funded! Excited to work with a great team to investigate how past supereruptions impacted NZ and the world. Two PhD projects to soon be advertised! WellingtonUni

Great article on our recently funded Marsden project Supervolcanoes Marsden Fund WellingtonUni

With incredible timing, here is a link to our manuscript on the geochemistry of the 2009, 2014/15 and older eruptions from #HungaTongaHungaHaapai, led by Dr Marco Brenna (U. Otago). The young events are interpreted as leaks from a large rebuilding system. tinyurl.com/8mfvvmdc

Tonga’s eruption and tsunami highlights the significant threat from offshore volcanoes, Simon Barker writes. newsroom.co.nz/pacifics-vulne…

Curious about #supereruptions? Check out this review by Wilson et al on these explosive #volcano eruptions 🌋🌋 nature.com/articles/s4301… (free to read rdcu.be/cFP2T)

Congratulations to Tom Wilson Wilson who has been appointed as the Chief Science Advisor to NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) Pleased we have Tom with us parttime but also thrilled that he can to share his expertise. #science #emergencymanagement #disasterplanning #disasterrecovery

Another great piece of outreach from Supervolcanoes about super eruptions. Folks just remember these come from #caldera volcanoes, not the typically iconic looking #cone volcanoes on the post cards of past. #eruptions this big are very rare.

Very proud of Dr Elms for defending her PhD today on the geochemistry, magmatic processes and timescales of recent rhyolitic eruptives of the Ōkataina Volcanic Centre. Hannah has fundamentally changed our understanding of how this volcano works ⁦Supervolcanoes⁩ 🌋
