Axial 3D Seismic Expedition

3D seismic expedition to Axial Volcano 🌋 Imaging the interior of one of the world's best monitored active deep-sea volcanoes🔸 July - August 2019 #scienceatsea

[Axial 3D Seismic Expedition @Axial3D_Seismic]

We're excited to share with you the initial results from our expedition!

You can see here the roof of the two main magma reservoirs beneath Axial Volcano!
This data will be refined in the coming months following the expedition. @UTGeophysics @LamontEarth #geophysics #science

This is big news, people: NSF has accepted an offer from Columbia University (@Columbia), on behalf of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (@LamontEarth), to assume ownership of the global class marine research vessel Marcus G. Langseth. [1/5] @UNOLS

Today is the unofficial #InternationalDayOfVolcanoes. If you could safely spend a day on any volcano (in a pretend world with no COVID or travel fees) where would you go?
Pretty pics encouraged!

We're absolutely LOVING #RandomFieldworkPhoto and seeing/guessing where you all have been! 🏞🌍
Try it yourself and see if the world of Twitter can guess where the photo was taken! Thank you @tectonictweets !

[@IAmSciComm - On a Break! @iamscicomm]

I want to find out how you fell in love with science! 💕

Were you tiny 👶 or a teenager 🧍🏽‍♀️? Was it through school 🏫 or books 📚 or people 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿? Did you fall for chemistry 🧪 or astrology 🔭 or something else entirely?

Tell me your stories! #STEM #ScienceStories #science

Hello #scicomm followers!

I'm Sam Mitchell (@volcano_grad) your host for this week! I'm a volcanologist and science communicator based out of the UK.

This week I'll be getting you all up to speed on volcanoes in our oceans and the life of scientists at sea! #volcano #ocean

[Axial 3D Seismic Expedition @Axial3D_Seismic]

Follow along @iamscicomm this week with Sam (@volcano_grad) as he highlights volcanoes in the ocean, our expeditions and being a scientist at sea! #science #research #lifeatsea #scienceatsea #lifeofascientist #NSFfunded

So let's kick things off with a fact!

DID YOU KNOW that over 70% of global volcanic activity happens at the bottom of the oceans?! And yet most of this activity goes completely unnoticed!
