We report a cryptotephra deposit from a ~120 ka Tondano eruption in a sediment core from Lake Towuti (Indonesia)! doi.org/10.1002/jqs....

Last Tues we were celebrating @jinheum.bsky.social’s PhD viva 🥳 Many thanks to examiners @harrietallengeog.bsky.social @simon-blockley.bsky.social for your wisdom & support. Jinheum also had a paper out [https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3730] & starts a postdoc in 2 weeks. Congratulations Jinheum!

It was great to visit Oxford to speak at the seminar in School of Archaeology on Tuesday!

Had a good time in Sicily last week giving a talk + having a day trip to Etna! (thanks to photographers)

Documenting this day so we can attribute all the Mt Etna tephra we are about to find in our cryptotephra lab to the correct isochron 🫣🌋🤔🕵🏻‍♀️ #tephratastic #toomuchtephra ⚒️

Members of the Cambridge Tephra Lab (past and present) are at the Commission of Tephrochronology meeting, Catania - COT24, this week.

Enjoying news from #EGU24. A tad sad not to be in the Cambridge contingent, but cheering them on from home. Check out @jinheum.bsky.social (CL1.2.10 Thurs) on Toba impacts, @yqnatdeng.bsky.social (CL1.2.1, Wed) on lake ecosystem responses to SH westerlies. And… www.geog.cam.ac.uk/events/egu20...
