The triumphant but very tired feeling of submitting paper revisions. A monster of a paper. But hopefully some tephra goodness from Nemrut coming soon 🤞🤞🤞

Snowy Süphan in the sunset. Some inspiration to get the response to reviewer comments done on the Lake Van paper. It is a biggen but it’s a goody.

The top of Nemrut in eastern Turkey. The crater was formed ~32,000 years ago with a big bang! 🌋 Say hi 👋 and follow along for more tephra-y posts #volcano #nemrut
