Final Registration for the VMSG Annual Meeting 2026 is fast approaching. Abstract deadline has been extended until Friday 8 Dec. We aim to inform registrants of their presentation type (talk/poster) & time slot by 12 Dec. We look forward to welcoming you all to Southampton!

Today, we're launching our advanced volcanic ash forecasting service to reduce aviation disruption. In 2010, Eyjafjallajökull closed much of Europe's airspace; our new service could halve such disruption and keep skies open during future eruptions. Read more: www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

🚨 new paper and proud supervisor moment 🚨 A former 4th year undergraduate research project student has published her work: www.jvolcanica.org/ojs/index.ph... Social sensing the 2018 Kīlauea Volcanic eruption through community Facebook use #volcanology #risk #hazards 🧪⚒️🌋

100% this. Also, when papers spend weeks (or more) waiting for someone to tick a box to move it to the next stage of the process, and then they demand comments on proofs within 3 days and with no regard for a weekend…!

I'm hiring a new post-doc to work on the @rottnrock.bsky.social project! Come help us understand hydrothermal alteration and volcanic hazards! Advert here: www.unistra.fr/universite/t... 📸 Recent ROTTnROCK trip to Mombacho, Nicaragua 🌋

Super interesting stuff! Check. It. Out! 👇🏼

New paper! The last of Eloïse Bretagne's PhD papers is out! Here we generalize our models for permeability to magma mush at any melt fraction. Take a look if you want to model percolative flow of melt through a magma mush and if you want to account for crystal shape. OA: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2025...

⚒️ 🧪 Another big addition to the remarkable M8.8 earthquake sequence offshore Kamchatka: a M7.8 - the biggest aftershock so far. With foreshocks, aftershocks, aftershocks of foreshocks, and foreshocks of aftershocks, it's hard to keep these earthquakes straight! Read more about what's going on:

Yaassss! 🦁 🦁 🦁 🥲

Really disappointing new policy from NERC banning resubmissions of grant applications Many of us, including me, have won grants on resubmission, using the reviews to improve the application This is is neither fair nor productive www.ukri.org/councils/ner...

NERC: We need to open up environmental science! Why is it not diverse? Also NERC: We're scrapping Independent Research Fellowships, New Investigator Grants, Small Grants, are limiting applications from institutions based on past success rates and will only allow you to submit your proposal once.

Wow, what an interesting study! An early takeaway from me: we have a long way to go to ensure research being done on volcanoes is connected to the academic communities rooted in the areas affected by their eruptions. This is also a helpful jumping off point for discussions about fieldwork ethics.

🚨 How far are volcanologists from volcanoes? 🌋🚨 Check out our new paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1.... What started as a conversation about whether we at @exeter.ac.uk (in Cornwall, UK) are further from volcanoes than our global colleagues turned into an exploration of a fruitful data set!

What a week at #IAVCEI2025, and what a bunch of closing ceremony-after party survivors 🕺💃🏼🪩 @iavcei.bsky.social

We are thrilled to announce that the next IAVCEI Scientific Assembly will be held in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷 A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us in #IAVCEI2025 in Switzerland. We look forward to seeing you all again in #IAVCEI2029. Welcome to Costa Rica!

If you’re interested in hydrothermal sealing and explosions, check out my #IAVCEI25 @iavcei.bsky.social poster today! Number 29! 🌋

Touched down in Geneva town for #IAVCEI2025 🌋 🥵

We are looking for a new researcher @UoBEarthSciences ! (36 months funded) if you like 🌋, are good at analysing. 🪨 and enjoy working in large collaborations. Then come and join us! This post is an important part of a new UK NERC funded Large Grant.. www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

We're looking for volcano researchers who use drones to fill out a short(ish) survey on typical field practices and use of UAS. We'll present some preliminary results at IAVCEI in Geneva @iavcei.bsky.social next month. Survey here: forms.gle/TWLt2qq1XLZz... Thank you!!!

New online! Crystal mush processes and crustal magmatism

New paper day: Social sensing a volcanic eruption: application to Kīlauea, 2018. In a novel approach to monitoring the response to volcanic activity, we analysed Tweets (from before that place went to sh!t) posted during the 2018 LERZ eruption at Kīlauea. nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/... ⚒️🧪🌋

Back at the desk after a fab trip to work with the Sakurajima volcano observatory 🌋. We also caught the volcano blast back to life on May 15 and 16, even depositing ash into downtown Kagoshima. Lots of work to do to keep understanding this exciting volcano! ⚒️🧪 #sakurajima #volcano

A great little watch with your morning (or afternoon) coffee!

I saw pork belly as I scrolled past this 🙈, dunno if that means I'm a terrible geologist, or hungry, or both...

Back from a delightful and successful 3rd year @exeter.ac.uk geology fieldclass to #Tenerife exploring a range of #volcanology 🌋 and igneous petrology 🪨 concepts! The students were absolutely top class 👏! Grateful for support from @geotenerife.bsky.social 🤩. 🧪⚒️

Excellent photo essay from Alessandro Gandolfi in today's @theguardian.com from Italy's Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei), where ground movements, seismic swarms, and fumaroles are a part of life at a restless, active #volcano www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

🧪 Frustrated by the actions (or inactions) of some of our professional and learned societies during this ongoing attack on #science and scholarship more generally? If so, this letter to the @royalsociety.org from my mate, @scurry.bsky.social, is worth a read and I hope, signing ✍🏻

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.
