From volcanic islands to the depths of the ocean, @nemiwalding.bsky.social explores the technologies helping scientists push into geological frontiers and why there is still so much left to discover beneath the waves. geoscientist.online/sections/new... #geoscience #geology #submarine #volcano

Our very own Dr Nemi Walding’s findings on volcanic lithofacies on the Tonga Trench slope now feature in the latest edition of the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #InkfishExplore #DeeplyCurious @nemiwalding.bsky.social

My first step into the underwater world! This project is my first output from my ongoing work with @kelpiegeo.bsky.social A very cool project - imagine your favourite PDC and pumice fall deposits but at 5080 metres below sea level (15 Eiffel towers!!) How did it get there? Find out below… ⬇️ 🌋

The news about students seeking compensation from universities for COVID teaching has made me quite sad. I can't say what happened at those universities, or what those student's experience was. My present university did not appear to be in the list. But what I can say is...

Very grateful, very happy. I’m a Dr! 🌋

Had the pleasure of presenting at GiG 2025 today! What a lovely little full circle moment - heading back to my undergraduate university to give a talk. Thanks for organising @girlsingeosci.bsky.social and well done to all the other women who did awesome talks and workshops! Very inspiring stuff🌋

What happens when a dense, aerated granular flow encounters a vertical barrier? What night these mean for the behaviours of pyroclastic density currents? Check out Jordan Chenery's poster at #IAVCEI2025

We tried compiling a global database of deposit descriptions of pyroclastic density current deposits. The aim was to help us do big data analysis, look for common trends, and to support modelling. We got some interesting results but also, found some really significant issues and gaps #IAVCEI2025

At #IAVCEI2025 it's the best session of the week. 3.9 Multidisciplinary Advances in Understanding Pyroclastic Density Currents. Convened by @pdcguy.bsky.social, Sylvain Charbonnier, @nemiwalding.bsky.social (online) and me! Come to room 380, enjoy the air conditioning and awesome PDC science.

A really great end to this lahars focussed mini session at @iavcei.bsky.social by @mikeaclare.bsky.social from @noc.ac.uk presenting work on lahars offshore and their huge sediment loads funded by the Sustainable Blue Economies Program.

Playing around with a close-up B&W edit of the best footage I have ever captured on this Earth. Hoping compression doesn't prevent y'all from seeing the incredible rain of debris. Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala (March 2023)

Come and see my poster today at #IAVCEI2025 if you love field volcanology and pyroclastic density currents

🌋 #IAVCEI Conference and Workshops Highlights 1⃣ CVS goes to Hungary 2⃣ the ECR-Network Scavenger Hunt 3⃣ COV13 postponement (4/5)

Dr. Nemi Walding @nemiwalding.bsky.social is a post-doctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience Ltd in Edinburgh. Her research integrates high-resolution topographic models with photography and video analysis to investigate submarine volcano geomorphology… (1/3)

Look at her! ❤️🌋

I had the pleasure of presenting at BGS Edinburgh today! I spoke about my PhD work as well as the postdoc work I’ve been doing. Thank you to those that attended and the invitation to present 🌋

NEW PAPER! 🌋 In this manuscript we have compared a range of natural and analogue materials, in wet and dry environments, to inform material used in analogue modelling. Particularly we explore the use of material for pyroclastic density current modelling. Read here: doi.org/10.30909/vol...

I had the pleasure of attending the GeoHab 2025 conference in Key West. It was an amazing conference to be introduced into the wonderful diversity and science of geology/biology/habitat interactions. Thanks to the amazing organisers and presenters who made it epic!

Delighted that this paper has hit p[ublication. Nemi did a truly amazing job on all of this, and together with 3 other papers (1 published 2023, the others winging their way to print soon) has really moved forward our understanding of moisture in pyroclastic sediments.

NEW PAPER! Happy to say my 3rd results chapter from my PhD has been published! link.springer.com/article/10.1... (1/)

We now have a website! Check here: kelpiegeoscience.com to find out about what we do!

It's new publication day! 🌋🎉 @nemiwalding.bsky.social has published the third paper from her PhD. Nemi looks at some incredible volcaniclastic stratigraphy in Tenerife and tries to understand it experimentally. Check it out! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I dunno who it was who wrote 25,000 words of a book, of which roughly a third are "CHECK THIS" or "FIND REFERENCE HERE", but when I find out I am going to murder them

Finally we rounded up our day in the “Grand Canyon” where we looked at a beautiful braided river sequence of volcanogenic conglomerates and sandstones!

Day 2: Today we travelled north into Slovakia 🇸🇰 where we observed a basaltic diatreme section and had lots of discussions surrounding maar formation and infill Then we explored a tuff ring with a castle on top! Look at those baked clasts 🌋😍

After this we went to Ipolytarnóc and saw some primary PDCs and some old fossil footprints. Thank you to our amazing and enthusiastic guide! Finally today we went to Tar, where we observed andesitic volcaniclastics and a debris avalanche with some big boulders! 🌋

Day 3: We started off the morning with a bonus stop to look at some lovely submarine deposited accretionary lapilli. Check out the beautiful cored acclaps with a pumice centre 🌋

Then we saw evidence of dilute currents with low angle cross bedding and acc laps - with a castle on top! Finally, some incredible manganese nodules inside the ignimbrite 🌋

Day Four: Today we explored the Demjén ignimbrite from east to west. First we saw it outcropped in a quarry with some fantastic elutriation pipes

Day One: Today on our field trip we visited Sámsonháza and saw this amazing outcrop! We looked at the contact between andesitic sills, volcaniclastics, and peperite 🌋 Lots of good rock chats and some great local food! Bring on day 2!

A key feature of our Catastrophic Flows research group meetings these days seems to be noodles. Oodles of noodles alongside volcanoes chat. Fantastic to catch up with @nemiwalding.bsky.social @drnatashadowey.bsky.social @pyroclasticpete.bsky.social ❤️🌋

What's happening today in volcano land? 🌋 1. Magma seems to be building beneath Svartsengi in Iceland. Eruption with little warning considered likely. en.vedur.is/about-imo/ne...

This week I started as a postdoctoral researcher at Kelpie Geoscience Ltd in Edinburgh. I’m feeling very grateful for what I’m doing and having a volcano beer, looking over an old volcano, after a week of looking at volcanic rocks. Amazing. 🌋

Upcoming Webinar 🌋 Join us online for a webinar by Kristin Sweeney (University of Portland) on “Topographic, climatic, and age controls of the fluvial reworking of volcanic debris avalanche deposits” When: Wednesday 26th February 2025 Time: 12:00 PST/ 20:00 GMT/ 21:00 CET
