Had an amazing time leading one of the volcano workshops for #OxploreFestival ! We explored the ingredients needed for an explosive eruption and got students familiar with Earth Sciences as a subject

Great talk by @sofiadellasala.bsky.social looking at hydrothermal records at Santorini in the @iavceisubmarine.bsky.social session. Convincing evidence of vigorous hydrothermal activity in the past preceding eruptions and a great demonstration of why we should look at hydrothermal records.

Shoutout to @allypeccia.bsky.social, @abigaillily.bsky.social, @sofiadellasala.bsky.social, @davidmpyle.bsky.social, @foradamifera.bsky.social, and so many more doing all the great research coming out of Exp398 🙌

Was so fun to record this episode and talk about @isobelyeo.bsky.social's HYDROMOX project!

@sofiadellasala.bsky.social presenting her work at the @geomarkiel.bsky.social tephra workshop, on sediments from Santorini caldera recovered during IODP 398 @ukiodp.bsky.social

The @ukri.org HYDROMOX cruise has come to an end. What a mammoth project @isobelyeo.bsky.social pulled together, I am so grateful to be part of the team that has successfully explored the hydrothermal systems at Santorini and Kolumbo and I can't wait for the science that will come of it!

Recovering our final OBEM! We’ve deployed and recovered 67 instruments on this expedition and, while you never put anything you’re not willing to lose in the sea, it’s very nice to bring everything home. Special thanks to the crew for their support with operations. @ukri.org @noc.ac.uk

One of the best sunsets yet aboard the RRS Discovery. Only a little over a week left of this research expedition!

Saw my first hydrothermal chimney today at Kolumbo Submarine volcano as part of the @ukri.org HYDROMOX project led by @isobelyeo.bsky.social, loved seeing what I have been reading about for the last 2 years with my own eyes!!

Sampling hydrothermal mounds on the seafloor of the Santorini caldera as part of the @ukri.org HYDROMOX project to understand the fluid flow that feeds them @isobelyeo.bsky.social @sofiadellasala.bsky.social @gemmaportlock.bsky.social @noc.ac.uk

ROV dives, gravity coring, geophysical surveys and getting ready for fluid sampling on board the RRS Discovery - it’s been busy inside the Santorini caldera on the @ukri.org HYDROMOX project today! @noc.ac.uk @isobelyeo.bsky.social @gemmaportlock.bsky.social @sofiadellasala.bsky.social

On International Women’s Day I’d like to take the opportunity to highlight women’s contributions to this project and marine science. This expedition couldn’t run without our geophysicists, geologists, ROV pilots and crew, many of whom are women. They’re inspirational. @noc.ac.uk

My first ever time working with an ROV! So exciting to see the seafloor of the caldera

First core on deck during the HYDROMOX expedition in the Santorini Caldera!! Was amazing to understand how the samples go from the seafloor to the lab bench @mikeaclare.bsky.social

Expedition 398 E&O Officer Susan just published a book on the amazing cores we drilled in and around Santorini. It's great for anyone (layperson to expert) who wants to learn about these stunning cores. The best thing of it all? You can download it 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 here: joidesresolution.org/activities/e...

Great 24-hours deploying the geophysical equipment that will collect the seismic and electromagnetic data inside and outside the Santorini caldera. This information will help us to map hydrothermal fluid flow and earthquakes for the @noc.ac.uk @ukri.org funded HYDROMOX project. Photo: Dan Bourne

I am on my first ever fieldwork expedition! My PhD focuses on the hydrothermal system in Santorini, working with @davidmpyle.bsky.social. We have lots of exciting operations on HYDROMOX @ukri.org that will gives us a better insight into Santorini's caldera seafloor
