Congratulations to new doctor Marella Parnas

New InSAR study by Marella Parnas provides insights on the likely fault responsible for the 1995 Aigion earthquake in the Corinth rift @alarosa.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @talents-dn.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

New paper by Marella Parnas coming out soon re-analysing the 1995 Aigion earthquake of the Corinth rift using InSAR and teleseismic data, and coming up with a new interpretation of the likely causative fault. @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @alarosa.bsky.social www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

Our new study on @egu.eu SE combines automatic fault mapping, geodesy and rock dating to reconstruct the tectonic and magmatic evolution of the Afar rift during the last 4.5 Myrs. @sasbrune.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social @gimmi-p.bsky.social @earth-science.bsky.social

First day passed at LASI VII in Iceland, with many Inspiring talks and posters on magmatic intrusions in various geodynamic contexts! We presented our 2024 natcomm study on the pressurizion of a deep sill network in the Afar rift @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @derekkeir.bsky.social

When Italian airports have an edge!

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

In this new paper in @natgeosci.nature.com by @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social, she uses analysis of seismic and geochemical data to see pulsing of a mantle plume and how it flows along the rift @wattsvolcanology.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @gernon.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats to Birhan Kebede on successfully defending her PhD at University of Florence today. Thanks to her defence committee too. @sorcerinsar.bsky.social @alarosa.bsky.social

Excited to share our latest paper on rift localization in Afar, @derekkeir.bsky.social @sorcerinsar.bsky.social. Check it out on @commsearth.nature.com at www.nature.com/articles/s43...
