Yayyyyy congratulations to Alice Jack Ward and Dean Bennett for their awards at the 2022 UQ News #Research showcase!!!! Amazing work and beautiful posters!! Go #UQmagmateam 😊🌋👏 UQ News #proudadvisor

Back in the lab for another week of laser mapping, this time analysing beautiful cpx from Muriah, Indonesia #UQmagmateam @UQ_sees

Tell your mates you love them as often as you can.

A reminder of the choices that global society has to make about the climate: Delaying action on reducing emissions commits the world to live with severe consequences. Rapid action now means a more habitable world for all. There is no going back. Choose wisely.

One of the coolest examples I've seen of sector zoning in pyroxene #ThinSectionThursday

Couldn’t be a more deserving winner, Richard Lilly STEMM Educator of the year #SAScienceAwards Chief Scientist for South Australia What a legend #NEXUS

First phase of our seismology deployment, targetting Earth-Ice interactions, completed during Dec. Field innovations led by @TobiasStl. Wonderful support from antarctica.gov.au and all at Casey Station. @comp_antarctic, Sciences and Engineering at University of Tasmania, Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS), AuScope, #GRITFacility

I was lucky enough to make it to #iavcei2023 without any problems and even luckier to attend the amazing alphaMELTS workshop led by Caltech’s Paul Asimow and @magmasource. I’m looking forward to an excellent week!

#iavcei2023 alternative fieldtrip to the geothermal mudpools…🌧️🌧️🌧️ #UQmagmateam ;)

Morning #iavcei2023 !! Very excited for the IAVCEI_VIPSCommission session on the architecture and dynamics of #magma plumbing systems 🌋 super honoured to be an invited speaker, thanks so much to the organisers Prof Janine Kavanagh et al!! 😊 Join us!! 2:30pm today in room 7!!

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user" Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

Interested in volatiles in magmas? Too busy enjoying the wonderful weather at #iavcei2023 to attend the workshop? Worry not, Kayla Ibbs 🚿 📕, Ery Hughes, Geoff Kilgour and Shuo Ding have a YouTube channel for you to peruse! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Devastating news out #Antarctica today. Thousands of Emperor 🐧 chicks died this summer when the sea ice melted before they could survive in the water 😢 abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…

It's been a busy few days for earthquakes! We just released a post about yesterday's M7.1 ultra-deep quake in the Bali Sea. Yesterday we wrote about a M3.6 in Ohio, and the day before that a M5.7 in western Colombia. Subscribe to our newsletter - you'll become great at geography!

First-ever: We've identified a new astronomical object, 'Buried Planet', using SEISMOLOGY, rather than telescopes. It's a survivor of Theia, the planet that collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form our Moon. See our nature cover paper: rdcu.be/dp16K

Super congrats Jack Ward on his geophysical & geochemical approach to understanding anomalous arc volcanism + links to porphyry copper deposits in Indonesia !! Beautiful #PhD work just published in #EPSL 🤗👏🌋 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #UQmagmateam UQ Science Australian Research Council

Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event.
