So exciting to share the beginnings of my research at DisastrousDoctorates this week!

Kia ora e hoa mā (hello friends) 👋 Ko ngā kupu o te Rāapa he (Wednesday's words are) smokin' hot (once upon a time anyway) toka ngiha - igenous rocks ⬇️ Can you guess which one gives its name to the place in Aotearoa where it is found?

Great start to @2021Gsnz yesterday - running a #microanalysis in the Earth sciences course inspired by courses run by EMAS and Bristol! Here we are acting out the bending stretch of CO2…

This morning, 12 scientists including myself, boarded the #RVTangaroa in #NZ for the #TAN2315 expedition funded by 'Beneath the Waves' to study the eruptive histories of #Whakaari & #Tuhua via marine coring & MT measurements. Excited for what lies ahead! 🌋 #PhD #volcanology

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 ⚒️
