Students got excited for seeing this video of a vesiculation experiment performed using a hydrothermal moissanite cell, showing (literally) a magma breathing.

Last experiment of the year, this time seriously! Melting a carbonaceous chondrite fragment at 1500 deg under reducing conditions to simulate atmospheric entry of micrometeorites and examine volatile loss.

Very happy to see our new paper coming out today on Scientific Reports! We apply Cluster Analysis on clinopyroxene from #Vulcano Enjoy 😃 DST Università di Pisa MAGE Marco Pistolesi @LucaCaricchi Prof Costanza Bonadonna Matteo Masotta #petrology #volcanology nature.com/articles/s4159…

It’s been an amazing week working on meteorites and experiments with Stefano Iannini Lelarge Università di Pisa and Tahnee Burke Monash Earth, Atmosphere and Environment 🌏🌪️🍃 in our lab @UQ_sees #RIFlab #UQmagmateam !! Thanks both for visiting and for your great work!!🤗🧪

Manuscript rejected after 3 months because the journal couldn’t find ONE single reviewer. I hear this is an increasingly common issue across journals. Academics, if we’re not supporting each other to move our fields forward, what are we even doing? Academic Chatter™

📌NEW PAPER📌 Lithos: doi.org/10.1016/j.lith… 3D reconstructions of SR-uCT data reveal the complex growth history of Cpx crystals. An empirical relationship estimates the ∆T governing the crystallization of augitic Cpx erupted at Stromboli.

Our first experimental paper is finally out! We combined SR-μCT and EPMA data to investigate the effect of ΔT on #clinopyroxene growth in a basaltic melt from #Stromboli. Full story here: doi.org/10.1016/j.lith… Fabio Colle Matteo Masotta Simone_Costa Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste

Physics Photo Of the Day: Dr. C.V Raman teaching Diffraction, circa 1960s. Indian theoretical physicist who was awarded the 1930 Nobel prize in Physics for his works on light scattering, called the 'Raman effect'. He was the first Asian to receive a Nobel Prize in any sciences.
