New subsurface temperature models for Ireland have been published! In this work we used a joint geophysical petrological inversion to solve directly for temperature. doi.org/10.1093/gji/...

A new lava flow started early on 14 August 2025 from a vent at 2980 m elevation on #Etna 's upper south flank, near the site of the February 2025 eruption. Lava is flowing southwest into uninhabited areas.

Today is the LAST CHANCE to nominate for our 2026 RAS Awards🏅🏆 Among them is the prestigious Gold Medal – the Society’s highest honour – which dates back more than 200 years and has previously been won by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and the new Astronomer Royal, Michele Dougherty. ⤵️

It was great to talk to @siliconrepublic.bsky.social about my work on geothermal energy. Thanks for the opportunity!

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Heads-up! I just posted a new batch of Lawetlat’la (Mt St Helens), Tahoma (Mt Rainier) and Erebus (Antarctica) scale model 3D-printed volcano tissue box covers in my shop. This is the first time Tahoma has been offered in InSAR colors. phaneritic.etsy.com

If you want to know more about my latest paper on the Afar plume (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) I'm presenting it as a poster today at the IAVCEI conference. Come chat in the poster session (#147) or just come say hello if you see me about! #iavcei2025

Something is ‘pulsing’ beneath the Earth, scientists say – and could tear a continent apart

⚒️ Article: Mantle upwelling beneath the Afar rift may be influenced by tectonic processes in the overriding lithospheric plates @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social ‬ @gernon.bsky.social @unisouthampton.bsky.social @swanseavolctephra.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

for a nice summary of the work on the pulsing Afar plume by @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social see this article in @newsweek.com www.newsweek.com/geology-plat... @gernon.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social

Absolutely fantastic work by Emma Watts @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social , Tom Gernon @gernon.bsky.social Derek Keir @derekkeir.bsky.social and others on the Afar plume combing geochemistry, geophysics and mathematical modelling!

Nominations are now open for the 2026 @royalastrosoc.bsky.social Agnes Mary Clerke Medal for Historical Research in astronomy or geophysics! Deadline 31 July 2025 #histsci Details and link to the nomination form are here: ras.ac.uk/awards-and-g.... Let me know if you have questions or need support

It has been a pleasure to work with @statesofprecarity.bsky.social on posters looking at the impact of fixed term contracts (FTC) in Geography (and beyond). 🔵Poster 1 - the challenges of FTC 🔵Poster 2 - How to support colleagues on FTC 🔵Poster 3 - Identity and difference and the impact of FTC

Do you know an outstanding woman astronomer working in the UK? 🔭👩‍🔬 The Royal Astronomical Society and German Astronomical Society are now welcoming nominations for the prestigious Caroline Herschel Medal!🎖️ Nominate by 2 December 2024 at: https://buff.ly/405KEQm

Just ordered one! Excellent design. Definitely recommend ordering one ASAP

Excellent 2 days of fieldwork for the GRANNUS and MOD3LTHERM projects. 100% data recovery in Northern Ireland and we installed a fence to protect the equipment from cows. Thanks to Eoghan Totten @dias_geophysics and Rob Raine @GeoSurveyNI for making this possible #Diasdiscovers.

📢New paper alert! Here we present a new approach to calculate subsurface temperature in areas with limited direct borehole measurements. We use Ireland as a case study to test the workflow. doi.org/10.1016/j.te...

If you are at #AGU23 and you like (analogue modelling of rifting), make sure to pass by our invited poster on the evolution of the East African Rift! Look for session T11B - poster 165 😃 The poster is based on Zwaan & Schreurs (2023) in Solid Earth: doi.org/10.5194/se-1...

Thanks @benmather.info! Great team effort and we should have the full temperature maps out next year
