What a gorgeous day … to be polishing samples in the windowless basement!!!! #PhDLife

Congrats Ludi!!! Your hard work is well worth celebrating!! 😃🎉🥂

Earlier today a Planet satellite captured this stunning image of activity at the Home Reef volcano in Tonga. Read more about it in the Tonga Geology Service activity report - TGS have put together some great info which is regularly updated. gov.to/press-release/…

🌋 Les équipes de l'OVPF-IPGP au plus près de l'éruption cet après-midi avec le concours de la SAG et du PGHM. Faible activité de surface mais une activité qui se poursuit. Au programme prélèvements de lave et diagnostic sur une station de surveillance en panne.

Know a girl who will be 16-18 years old next summer who might want to participate in a FREE 2-week expedition to explore the Rockies through scientific research, artistic creation, and technical rock climbing? APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN NOW! Virtual info session tomorrow! (Dec 15)

A year on, we know why the Tongan eruption was so violent. It's a wake-up call to watch other submarine volcanoes theconversation.com/a-year-on-we-k… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

Looking forward to discussing fragmentation mechanisms and Mt. Pelée at today’s #IAVCEI2023 poster session! See you soon 😎

It’s a 2-in-1 day at #IAVCEI2023, talk & poster! Thanks to everyone who came out to hear about #Hunga - the conversation is bubbling and I’m excited for more discussion and learning over the coming days 😃

Some impressions from 6 days of triangulation in #rotorua for the IAVCEI-NZ conference between our AirBnB, the conference site and dinner restaurants. Intense yet rewarding, tiring yet inspiring. Now off for some days field and experiments. #iavcei2023 no more #iavceistranded

*shameless fangirling of friends continues* 😍

This was one of the most incredible wildlife encounters I’ve ever had — seen while tidepooling on the Northern California coast. (Also please enjoy the look of sheer terror on my friend 😅)

It’s MELTS, GLASSES, MAGMAS week again. Annual international workshop by our Don Dingwell and all the staff. Great to have 20 participants in da house. #MGM23 Kai-Uwe Hess Ulrich Küppers Francisco Cáceres 🍉 Jackie Kendrick @PereiraConca Mila Huebsch

Super proud of Stephen Piva for just passing his doctoral exam with flying colours and defending his PhD thesis: “Environmental and Climatic Responses to Two Large Explosive Eruptions from Taupō Volcano, New Zealand”. A huge effort and great piece of work. Well done Dr Piva!

Huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this project, it’s a big team of co-authors and our reviewers were a great help too. I’ve been excited to publish my first paper since like 2012…… here it is! 😊

New paper alert: "Fragmentation behavior of young pyroclasts from Mt. Pelée, Martinique", led by our former MSc student Mila Mila Huebsch. Open access!
