🌋 New paper led by Emma Horn & the CAVES Project! We’ve characterised the glass geochemistry of 15 major Azores eruptions (~100 ka). This dataset provides fingerprints to trace Azores tephra across Europe, Africa & beyond. 🔎 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jv... #Azores #Tephra #CAVESProject

It was great to join the INTIMATE network meeting in Cluj this week. 🦣❄️🕣 Some fantastic science coming soon!

🔁📢 Call for papers - JQS Special Issue on distal tephra analysis Sponsored by IAVCEI Commission on Tephrochronology (COT) 🗓Deadline: 2 Jan 2026

Visiting a friend from my @oxfordtephra.bsky.social days and here’s the cup my morning coffee came in! #tephratastic

🌋📢 Calling all #tephra researchers! Join us in shaping this new JQS Special Issue. "Beyond the #Eruption – Advances and Applications in Distal Tephra Analysis Across the Geosciences" Deadline: 2 Jan 2026. Further details below: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...

📣 Our recent paper, led by researchers at INGV, provides detail of the magmatic system that extends below the Campi Flegrei caldera, Naples, Italy. These data provide new insights into magma storage and ascent pathways beneath this restless and active caldera: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This summer Tom Burman, Rebecca Lawton and Jade Sands joined us through the UNIQ+ Programme. They worked on a variety of interesting tephra projects 🌋🥼🔬 UNIQ+ is a great way to experience research first-hand and recommended for anyone curious about postgraduate study. www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/g...

🌋 PhD and MSc students in Earth Sciences 🌋 Don't miss the opportunity to participate in the International Summer School on Geohazards in Volcanic Islands, held in Ponta Delgada, Azores from 28 May to 4 June. Please check ivar.uac.pt/summer-course/ Deadline for application is approaching, 30 April.

Love it! I would buy the complete set. 😍 Could we also have some lab group #lego sets? @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social @oxfordtephra.bsky.social

CoT is seeking nominations for our executive and hosts for the next Tephra Conference (2028). Interested? Questions? Check out the flyer. Nominations are open until April 30. @iavcei.bsky.social @oxfordtephra.bsky.social @camtephra.bsky.social @tephrotastic.bsky.social @tephraportal.bsky.social 🧪🌋⚒️

(L) The end of my UNIQ+ internship @oxfordtephra.bsky.social in 2022, and (R) two weeks ago in the 2nd year of my PhD (and in the chaos of #StormÉowyn), continuing to analyse tephra from Campi Flegrei. An insightful experience for those considering PhD life! 🔬🌋

📣 UGs in archaeology, geography and Earth science 📣 Considering a PhD? Join our lab @oxfordtephra.bsky.social this summer on a 7-week long research internship 🌋. Stipended & with accommodation. Deadline Feb 19th. Application details and eligibility criteria: www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/g...

A great day for us ✨ - introducing the MSc Archaeology Science students to our #tephra -tastic world 💥🔍🌋

What have we been up to?💥 Have you seen our recent publications... Sophie Vineberg and the #LakeSuigetsu Members have published a new detailed record of Japanese eruptions between 120 - 50 ka🇯🇵, with forty-one crypto/ #tephra layers (!!) characterised and dated 🕰️ See here: doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

If you are interested in coming to do doctoral research in the #tephra group, apply for this fully funded doctoral program. bsky.app/profile/iles... We have various research projects in a range of interesting locations and happy to discuss these so please get in touch if you are interested! 🌋🔬🥼🧑‍🔬

Curious about doing a PhD? Looking to gain some laboratory experience? Applications are now OPEN for 2025 UNIQ+ postgraduate research internships at Oxford University. Our lab has two fantastic tephra projects available! Application closing date is 19 February. www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/g...

Hello, and happy 2025! 🎉 The Oxford Tephrochronology Group have joined Bluesky 👋 Looking forward to an exciting year of #tephratastic research 🔬 🌋🥼👩🏻‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬
