Have you had a new paper published in any area of volcanology in the past month? Comment here (don’t forget to include a link and maybe image of key figure or front page) and we’ll repost to amplify it!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

Our volcanologists had a great time on the @DurUniEarthSci booth at the Celebrate Science family festival in Durham last week! We had a make-your-own explosion station, a microscope for looking at thin sections, coloring pages, and a sink or float test (pumice vs obsidian).

It's the start of the new academic year and we were excited to hold our first 'Volcanology Coffee' meeting of the term, last week! Great to meet a new cohort of volcanology students and to all catch up on what we've been up to!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

Have you ever wondered why our logo is a volcano coffee cup? It's because the Durham Volcanology group meets every week for discussions, seminars & ECR training and we have called this 'Volcanology Coffee' ever since it started, about 15 years ago! Sometimes, there's even cake!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

This looks great! Who's going?

@Volcannabelle @WadsworthFabian @HTuffen @RonSukiRon @shaneo_volcano @lucye_jackson Congratulations!

[Annabelle Foster @Geology_talk]

🌋New paper published today on magma rheology from a deep drilling project in Iceland (Krafla).

https://t.co/n83hiVYfnr

This volcanic area is pretty special as we have direct access at the magma storage region and all the surface/sub-surface deposits!

[IAVCEI @IAVCEI_official]

IAVCEI is saddened to learn that Hans-Ulrich Schmincke passed away on 24/08/24 at the age of 86. He was SG of IAVCEI between 1983-1991, and awarded the Thorarinsson medal in 1993. During his mandate, he revamped the publication model of BV, a legacy that we profit from today

And many congratulations again to Janina (@Geojanina) who passed her PhD viva yesterday with minor corrections! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Many thanks to the examiners @EmmaLiu31 and Madeleine Humphreys!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

Many congratulations to Janina Gillies (@Geojanina) who submitted her PhD thesis recently. Her PhD was on textural evolution of pyroclasts in weakly explosive basaltic eruptions, supervised by Ed Llewellin, @WadsworthFabian & @Earth_Sci_Richy. Her viva is next week!

Tenerife, where we take our volcanology students on fieldwork, is slowly having its world-class roadcuts, which expose 2 million years of Las Canadas caldera's volcanic history, covered in concrete. What can we do? @Geotenerife @IGNSpain

[AGU (American Geophysical Union) @theAGU]

⏰HURRY⏰ #AGU24 abstract submissions are still open through 31 July!

💬Be sure to add your voice to the conversation on "What's Next for Science."

Japan: Today at around 1:58 p.m., an eruption occurred at the summit crater of Sakurajima's Minami-dake mountain in Kagoshima Prefecture. The explosion sent ash rising to a height of 3,700 meters above the crater.

🌋In JGR: Atmospheres, scientists use climate model experiments to examine how massive volcanic eruptions can produce warmer climate conditions through an increase in stratospheric water vapor.

☀️New Paper ☀️

In this study, we explore the MIS 5-to-4 transition using precisely dated speleothem trace element records spanning ∼90 to 70 ka from Dim Cave (S. Türkiye).

https://t.co/rsTTCQieuK

Why is this transition, and this region, so interesting?
