Hay oportunidades para realizar investigaciones del estudio de depósitos y secuencias volcánicas mediante paleomagnetismo. Si conoces a alguien interesado, pásale la información!

I am looking for interested students to apply for our MSc and PhD programs here at the IPICYT in San Luis Potosí (Mexico). There are opportunities for research related to the study of volcanic deposits and sequences using paleomagnetism. If you know anyone interested, pass it on!

Good news: a grant I submitted got selected for an interview out of ~150 apps. Only 2 others got interviews! Bad news: @skypeascientist.bsky.social was not selected in the end 😞 I will keep trying. In the meantime, consider supporting our work with $5-10/month? givebutter.com/SupportSAS25

Cool blog post by @smakris.bsky.social on a super collaborative project to learn more about eruptions and pyroclastic density currents at Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala. Was great to join in the field--now looking forward to helping with paleomagnetic analyses soon! www.bgs.ac.uk/news/fieldwo...

Check out more insights in the paper ☛ doi.org/10.1038/s432... Feel free to get in touch with any questions, or if you are interested in communicating volcanology across languages, or if you want to work with a mountain of social media data… ~fin~

Once upon a time, the platform formerly known as Twitter was a vibrant meeting-place where scientists, the public, official orgs and more besides could exchange knowledge. I set out to find out how effective it could be for disseminating geoscience info Skip to the paper ☛ doi.org/10.1038/s432...

The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys is hiring a volcanologist who would work with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. A fantastic opportunity to work with great people and study very active volcanoes. Details in link below. Applications close on Oct. 1. ⚒️🌋🧪 bit.ly/3IkqN9n

Geopeople (of any discipline)! What are your favorite or most useful phone/tablet apps to use in the field? I'm teaching about field tools and methods and want to present some modern alternatives/complements to traditional equipment! Or if anyone has ever seen a list of such apps, let me know!

Back from fieldwork in Guatemala looking at PDC deposits from Fuego for our @ukri.org project exploring generation mechanisms. We had a great time in the field as a team bringing together many skills and experiences. Excited to continue working on this also with those who weren’t in the field!

Wrapping up one week of fieldwork at Fuego volcano, flying drones and sampling PDC deposits with @smakris.bsky.social @pdcguy.bsky.social @tyranakisaurus.bsky.social Sylvain Charbonnier, Gustavo Chigna, Fabrizio Ponce, Amilcar Calderas, Edgar Barrios, William Chigna and Mario Ovalle.

Aloha folks! I am on the IAVCEI advisory board and welcome comments you’d like me to anonymously pass along to the executive committee about your #IAVCEI2025 experience (both positive and negative). Having concrete feedback is one of the best ways to ensure each experience is better than the last.

Come check out my #IAVCEI2025 poster tomorrow afternoon (1.7.12; poster 25) to chat about complex supereruption plumbing systems and deep rhyolites!

A little bit of news, as of last week I started as an assistant professor at the IPICYT (Instituto Potosino de Investigación Científica y Tecnología) in San Luis Potosí. Looking forward to getting to work with new people here and keep working with all the awesome people who helped me get here!

I’ve worked in an all male science department for 10 years and in my experience, the men don’t even know they’re doing it. (This is not an excuse by the way, just an explanation of what I’ve observed.) Here’s what I have experienced and witnessed:

This proposed budget is a policy statement, not an appropriation. There are still a lot of steps and potential changes ahead before it becomes one. This is not a time to sit quietly, team. Let's go.

Skype is dead. Long live Skype a Scientist.

Volcano people question! Favourite field equipment that are worth putting in a research grant? Things that are a bit more expensive than just shovels, scrapers, etc, that you find super useful?

Hi! We're Skype a Scientist! We're a free program that matches scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, & other groups for Q&As all about science. Get matched with a scientist for a virtual conversation! We have 30+ types of scientist & match weekly. www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

Our neighborhood had some Pele hair deposits from the episode 15 Kīlauea fountains.

This includes the USGS Hawaiian and Alaska Volcano Observatories. HVO's Ironworks is a temporary space while a new facility is built to replace the Observatory critically damaged in 2018. Both groups are near their volcanoes. Neither has anywhere to go and both have been forbidden from telework.

A couple days in the field working on a fun side project around Popocatépetl. Seems like he goes quiet every time I visit!

I swore to myself I wasn't going to share anything before it is finished, but I'm in a mood and want to give a little sneak peek. I am working on a ~15 min "Planet Earth" video compilation of the footage I have collected in the last few years. Here is the first minute of the ~4 min volcano portion:

It’s been a brutal couple of weeks in the US, so for #MisconceptionMonday I’m going to dive into one that is critical to the political environment right now: the extent to which the public is being misled on the concept of DEI. I’ll focus on DEI in science. 🧪

🧪⚒️ This calculator was melted in a 2010 eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano in Indonesia, when a pyroclastic flow hit a group of houses. But, you may wonder whether a mighty Nokia mobile phone would survive a pyroclastic flow…

Some great views of Galeras volcano, some Galeras-related deposits, and just views in general on our first day in the field. #7VGW

Excited to be in Pasto for the IAVCEI 7th Volcano Geology Workshop. Already had some lucky views of Galeras, some great intro to the regional geology, ecology, culture, and more, and ready to go to the field tomorrow!

In July 2023 I flew over to #Iceland to see the Litli-Hrútur volcanic eruption. While I was there I took the opportunity to visit the old crater from the 6-month-long Fagradalsfjall 2021 eruption nearby - I got the drone up to see the amazing colours of the lava it left.

Anyone going to the February AGU Chapman conference in Hilo? Join us for a recently-added, Post-conference 1-day field trip on "Impacts of the 2018 Lower East Rift Zone Eruption of Kīlauea (Feb 15, 2025)" Sign-up info here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 🌋🏖️

I'd love to see us all loosen up around science--it helps with inclusion, engagement, and demystification of the scientific process. There's a place for silliness, but ultimately science needs to take the front seat. 1/x

Sometimes you just had to take ridiculously wide panoramas (stitched from multiple vertical shots). Vestrahorn, #Iceland, October 2024 (may need a click!)

After the ash cloud clears 🌋- there is always Bluesky! Hello!👋🏼 this is the account for the Volcanology Gang/Collective/Team at University of Bristol! Give us a follow for some 🌋 -related facts and enthusiasm!

Hello @bsky.app ! We are the Ixchel project funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund @ukri.org Expect posts on research activities, including but not limited to volcanology, disaster risk reduction, critical decolonial theory, human rights, and arts-based participative methodologies 🌋

Rhyolite pumice from Mono Craters. The melt vesiculated as it decompressed & degassed. The thin glassy septa are bubble walls. As the lava oozed out, the bubbles were stretched & folded, many times over. Some bubble walls are stretched so much that they form micron-scale thin strands before breaking

Time for a (re)introduction! I’m a volcanologist and paleomagnetist currently based in Mexico who studies a whole bunch of things with a whole bunch of methods, mostly related to volcanic hazards, especially pyroclastic flows! I’m a big fan of books, birds, tennis, yoga, and cooking! And cats!

Ok, #VolcanoMonday is a good excuse to try to start being more active on here! Here's a sunrise photo of Iztaccihuatl (left) and Popocatépetl (right) taken from Mexico City just before heading to the field a couple weeks ago.

For #VolcanoMonday, have some views of Newberry Volcano and its spectacular obsidian lava flow. Very lucky to have visited this special place this last summer with some amazing volcanologists.

Looking at Iceland’s geologically shaped surface from the air is amazing. 😍

Hi Bluesky! I research communication, relationships, and decision-making for risk reduction with a focus on volcanic hazards 🌋 and an eye on equity. Background in geology, Spanish, geophysics, journalism, and social science (broadly). Here for science and cats and new ideas about everything.

I tried my hand at making a volcano scientist starter pack… but the number of people on bluesky has been changing almost too fast to keep up with! go.bsky.app/3WDgNKf

youtube.com/watch?v=qHnM... This is a fun concept from Wired. Answering volcano 🌋 they find on Twitter.

A new paper led by a new community of researchers from resource-constrained settings have now produced an important set of reflections on global collaborations and how we can work together to do better! Please read! 4/4 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

And this paper led by @tyranakisaurus.bsky.social looks at authorship of peer-reviewed papers in volcanology - that explore active volcanic systems. 40% don’t include any author affiliated to an ‘in country’ institution. They reflect on how we can do better. jvolcanica.org/ojs/index.ph...

Understanding the problem is key. This paper by Kavanagh, @volcanologist.bsky.social et al shares an analysis of those overtky sharing knowledge , examines barriers and nakes recommendations 2/4 link.springer.com/article/10.1...
