This is going to be an epic trip to the Bay of Plenty volcanoes. Can’t wait to see what we find for Jacquelines’s PhD project! MBIE Science Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington GNS Science Te Pū Ao

Day 2 of the #TAN2315 trip saw us setting up labs and revising field plans. Today (Day 3), the real #science began with the deployment of #magnetotulleric (MT) stations around #Whakaari. We're now approaching #Tuhua, where piston #coring for my #PhD will replace MT around 3am 🌋

Today we carried out the 1st coring of the #TAN2315 trip. We recovered 6 cores around #Tuhua (Mayor Island), with one reaching a whopping 5.4m in length! We even spotted tephra around a few of them. Super excited for tomorrow when we get our first sneak peak into the split cores!

Today was a big day for the #TAN2315 coring team. Despite difficult subsurface conditions around #Whakaari, we retrieved 6 usable cores! We also opened #Tuhua's 1st core & observed at least 6 #tephra layers, which were sampled for more onshore analyses. More to follow tomorrow ⚒️

A game of cores. Plenty of cores + tephra = happy student ⁦Jacqueline Grech Licari⁩ #whakaari #tuhua 🌋

Time's flown by on the #BeneaththeWaves #TAN2315 voyage. After several days of #core collection, cool #tephra sampling and beautiful views of #Tuhua & #Whakaari, we're stepping off the #RVTangaroa with 105m of cores! Thanks to all involved, it was a blast! #PhD #womeninSTEM

I am so stoked to have been awarded a Rutherford Discovery Fellowship. Looking forward to working with some amazing people over the next 5 years to understand the processes that drive New Zealand’s volcanoes. 🌋

🚨2 geochemistry positions 🚨 in beautiful University of St Andrews (1 postdoc, 1 lab tech) studying volcanic forcing of climate. FWIW I am definitely better at science & supervising than social media!👩🏻‍🔬 Deadline extended Jan 10. tinyurl.com/29c6ebxc & tinyurl.com/mpd7tphh

This cover design is thanks to Dr Hannah Elms who has beautifully imaged a ~100 micron diameter, quartz-hosted rhyolite melt inclusion from the 1314 CE Kaharoa eruption, from Mt. Tarawera, Ōkataina Caldera (in the Taupō Volcanic Zone of New Zealand). We love it!

One of my paper figures made the cover of Volcanica! 😁 jvolcanica.org/ojs/index.php/… In the name of shameless self-promotion, the paper it’s from can be found here for those who may be interested 🙂 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper! How accurate are hindcasts of explosive eruptions? In this new work from Stix et al, these authors assess the use of tremor as an eruption forecasting tool. More here 👇 doi.org/10.30909/vol.0…

How can electrical conductivity help us locate magma? Or how do seabed sediments provide a window into past eruptions?🤔 🎧To find out listen to GNS Geophysicist Craig Miller on today's episode of RNZ's Our Changing World. i.mtr.cool/druwvypeae

📣Many prolonged cold periods similar to the Little Ice Age occurred during the Holocene as a result of #volcanic activity through gradual ocean-sea ice feedbacks. @EvelienvDijk93 @ClaudiaTimmreck Michael Sigl @OeschgerCenter 🔗nature.com/articles/s4324…

Thanks to Claire Concannon for putting together this fantastic piece on RNZ’s Our Changing World series that covers the wonderful PhD work of Jacqueline Grech Licari and our current research around Tūhua and Whakaari volcanoes.

Latest tephra findings from the Greenland ice cores: new age constraints on Holocene caldera-forming eruptions, and widespread tephra markers 🌋 🇯🇵 🇷🇺 🇺🇸 🇮🇸 led by Siwan Davies authors.elsevier.com/a/1j8ne-4PS9tqd

New eruption on Reykjanes, Iceland started around 2 pm local time. The fissure is in the same place as the previous eruption, a few km north of Grindavik. Currently ~2.5 km long and may be still lengthening
