The sun sets over Vienna on the last day of #lps25 - a more relaxed day ending earlier than usual (and a bit less hot outside). Lots of cool science presented here over the last few days, with various new insights for my own research. See you at the next edition 3 years from now! ;)

Sadly, it's the final day of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna. There are are still lots of interesting sessions to attend, including talks by @julietbiggs.bsky.social and Luke Bateson (@bgs.ac.uk) on using AI for monitoring natural hazards, @ednadualeh.bsky.social and Camilla Medici. Full schedule below:

Day 4 of @esa.int Living Planet Symposium 2025 #LPS25 Join us at the poster session later today to learn about preparations for the upcoming Harmony mission with @julietbiggs.bsky.social @bristolvolcanology.bsky.social and deep learning methods for interseismic observations with Kun Jiang.

Day 3 at #lps25 wrapped up! Lots of COMET talks and posters to see…. and a little COMET group photo of those we could gather during the focaccia break. On to day 4 now!

Day 3 of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna is in full flow! At 11.30am we have two talks by @timwrightleeds.bsky.social and Camila Novoa Lizama from @envleeds.bsky.social. At 4.15pm Erin Mills @bgs.ac.uk is presenting and, after that session, there will be lots of COMET posters to see. More info below:

Day 2 at #lps25: a busy poster session (with drinks and snacks provided..), a swim in the Donau between sessions, more natural hazard sessions, and to wrap up the day: a shared COMET and @cpom-uk.bsky.social dinner that took over half of a restaurant. See you tomorrow for more…!

It's day 2 of @esa.int #LPS25 in Vienna. At 2pm today COMET Scientist @yassermaghsoudi.bsky.social will be speaking about the "Development of an InSAR Phase Bias Correction Processor". You will also find two @envleeds.bsky.social PhD research posters in the poster hall from 5.45pm. More info below:

It's been a great start to the @esa.int Living Planet Symposium 2025! #lps25 If you're in Vienna, join us at the poster session this afternoon (see below) and to hear about "Routine Global Volcano Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 Data and the LiCSAlert Algorithm", presented by @geoandyhooper.bsky.social

Good morning from #lps25! The first two COMET posters are up - come see us at T39 & T40 today

Breakfast in Leeds, second breakfast in London, lunch in Brussel, sweet treat (ice cream!) in Frankfurt, late dinner in Vienna! And no delays all day - would recommend this train journey 😃 We spotted flixtrains (not buses!) On to #lps25 starting tomorrow with workshops. Now it’s time to sleep… 😴

The sun rises early over Leeds on the longest day of the year as we set off from the train station towards Vienna for ESA’s Living Planet Symposium #lps25 🌞🌞 The coming week, I (Stijn Vleugels, Uni of Leeds) will be taking over the COMET socials to give you a firsthand experience of the conference!

We are delighted to celebrate two outstanding @uk-comet.bsky.social Scientists, Professor Marie Edmonds @cambridge-earthsci.bsky.social and Professor @davidmpyle.bsky.social (@ox.ac.uk), elected Fellows of the Royal Society this year: royalsociety.org/news/2025/05... 🎉 Read more: wp.me/p5NBzI-1Zg

Earthquake swarms around Santorini, Greece causes thousands to evacuate www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Hopefully we'll soon have some more EU #Copernicus #Sentinel1 data over the region so @uk-comet.bsky.social LiCSAR service can help reveal if there is any change in deformation rates on the island.

Did you know February is LGBT+ history month? To celebrate, COMET will be highlighting various LGBT+ STEM leaders that have had an influence on COMET's research 🏳️‍🌈 #lgbthistorymonth #lgbthistory #stem #science #educatingoutprejudice #Usuallising #LGBTplusHM25

We are pleased to share the latest @NERC_COMET Annual Report! 🌋🌎🛰️ Read all about our 2023/2024 activities, research highlights and science updates in Earth Observation, #volcanism and #tectonics. shorturl.at/MA3ND #Space #EarthObservations #Science

A new paper from COMET researchers is out now in Nature Communications! In the paper, authors Gregor Weber, Juliet Biggs, and Catherine Annen, look into the relationship between how a volcano deforms at the surface in the short term, and the long-term magmatic processes deeper underneath.

Happy National Women in Science & Engineering Day! Here are some of COMET's successes for #WISEDay25 #MoveTheDial #genderequality #womeninstem #womeninscience #womeninengineering #space #volcano #earthquake
