3.5-years Fully Funded PhD position at the University of Edinburgh! www.exageo.org/phd-student-... #CFD #granularflows

🌋We have a 2.5-years long fully funded Postdoctoral position opened at UoEdinburgh to study volcanic plumes with 3D modelling. Spread the word! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

This is why they’re deleting studies

Wrapping up one week of fieldwork at Fuego volcano, flying drones and sampling PDC deposits with @smakris.bsky.social @pdcguy.bsky.social @tyranakisaurus.bsky.social Sylvain Charbonnier, Gustavo Chigna, Fabrizio Ponce, Amilcar Calderas, Edgar Barrios, William Chigna and Mario Ovalle.

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car. #tsunami

In this PhD work Chris Harper investigated thin-layer stability (i.e., why a granular flow friction depends on its scale when the flow thickness is /10*characteristic diameter), which makes levees in most geophysical flows and is a process observed even in frictionless systems! #granularflows

Volcan de Fuego is at it again (#Guatemala). Follow the official information www.insivumeh.gob.gt

Why using matlab sucks... no way to activate Matlab's licence, it has now been a week @matlab ; this is why I only code in python these days...

On this day in 1902, Montagne Pelée (Martinique) unleashed pyroclastic flows that killed over 28,000 people. That tragedy gripped me as a child and led me to volcanology. After more than a decade studying PDCs, I’ve received on this day my permanent faculty post at Edinburgh to continue the journey.

Volcan de Fuego woke up after a nap of 7 weeks... watch live at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpqT... and keep informed with insivumeh.gob.gt #Guatemala

More true every day

🧪⚒️ The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation. Read more:

Just a few more days until the deadline (Feb 17) to apply for the 3.5-year fully funded PhD scholarships in GPU-based modelling! 🚀 Work at the cutting edge of #granularflow and #CFD, pushing the boundaries of #EarthSciences. Don't miss this opportunity! #STEM

With geoscientists keeping a close eye on the seismicity around Santorini over the past couple of weeks, this work by the BGS using machine learning to enhance detection & short-term forecasting for advising emergency services & at-risk communities is fascinating: www.bgs.ac.uk/news/artific...

Doing Science in 2025 is fascinating...

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

What a cluster of earthquakes in the Aegean Sea.. #rasberryshake

🧪⚒️ A swarm of earthquakes has been rattling the Greek islands. Today marked the largest event in the swarm so far (M5.1). Schools are closed and emergency crews have deployed. Could the swarm trigger a really big earthquake, like the M7.8 in 1956? Read more on Earthquake Insights:

Check this out... I reckon drones should be used for gathering such intel...😐 #tooclosetodanger #volcano #multiphaseflow

Volcan de Fuego is VERY quiet now, for the 6th day in a row... #Fuegovolcano #guatemala

Beauty in simple things... with #highspeedimaging (1800 fps) with @smakris.bsky.social #fluidmechanics

Wait, co-l in means co-lead? I thought it was co-Investigator for years...?

Three years ago, on Jan 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai #volcano erupted, causing the most powerful volcanic explosion since Krakatoa in 1883. The eruption triggered a tsunami, which killed three people and forced the relocation of communities. ⚒🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hy-...

Do we need more convincing? #rasberryshake

DAMN.. and one testament to this may be the 5 typhoons hitting the Philippines in 23 days...

The temperature data from December 2024 were released today. So it is time to update the comparison between measured temperatures and the prediction by Vahrenholt, which has been cited by contrarians & the AfD to deny the anthropogenic influence on #climatechange 🧪

The abstract deadline for IAVCEI25 in Geneva is tomorrow at 11:59pm Geneva time; Let's keep the numbers of abstracts growing exponentially as usually..🌋 @iavcei.bsky.social

@lucacaricchi.bsky.social when is the IAVCEI25 abstract deadline exactly? Is it 11:59 pm on the 10th (tomorrow) Geneva time?

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Merry Christmas, Bluesky!!!

We are proposing projects to study geophysical flows! Spread the word

The worry is real... #AGU24

New paper out in JFM! Simulations, experiments, and theory all wrapped up in one. #openaccess doi.org/10.1017/jfm....

@smakris.bsky.social and I will present tomorrow as part of the @vmsg.bsky.social 60th Anniversary series. I'll give an overview of the @gcrf-ixchel.bsky.social project and some work at Fuego #volcano, and Symeon will discuss perched tephra piles and granular flows. ed-ac-uk.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The best thing about Gladiator II are all the refs to the first one.. and thanksfully they have Paul

The application deadline for our exciting PhD project on landslides is January 6, 2025 -- e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super...

My expectations were already low but hoooly shit...

Example of daily e-mails... "On behalf of the Editorial Office, we cordially invite you to submit your excellent research work to our journal, Molecular & Cellular Biomechanics" how do I say more clearly that I am 'only' a VOLCANO doctor 🌋. #academia #AI-generated-email
