🌋 We're developing next-generation ash forecasts for volcanic eruptions thanks to the @MBIEsci Endeavour Smart Ideas fund.

An when they do it makes nice earthquakes ....

STORY📖 While keeping ammunition and explosives safe and stored correctly is the main role of a #NZArmy ammunition technician, a few times a year there is a chance to have some fun destroying it.

WATCH: King hugging it out.
King Charles meets New Zealand women’s rugby union team @BlackFerns - and got a proper Kiwi embrace from his guests 🤗
When they asked for a hug, the King replies: “A hug? Why not!”

Low level eruption continues with variable gas and ash emissions at Whakaari/White Island. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 3 (minor eruption) and the Aviation Colour Code remains at Orange.

We are thrilled to announce that Rotorua’s geothermal fields (Ahi-Tupua), Ruapehu volcano and other New Zealand sites have been recognised with "world's best" status in the Second 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites.

Move over @YS_caldera Ahi Tupua has arrived and moved in the 2nd top 100. New Zealand's geothermal features get some recognition from IUGS #hotsprings #Rotorua #tepuia #Waimangu #Wiaotapu #Tikitere #whakarewarewa https://t.co/7CM2EPZKaM

First time at the controls! Observers from the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory are getting in some air time at our #GCRF drone training workshop. Building confidence slowly with tasks of increasing complexity, combined with classroom theory sessions @EarthSciCam @UOBFlightLab

[Brad Scott @Eruptn]

This has been one of the most rewarding projects I have worked on thanks to the BOP Regional Council for the support.

New Zealand's geothermal systems are powerful, beautiful, and essential for life ♨️❤️ ...but we can't take them for granted. 

🔇 During 1960s, 70s and 80s, Rotorua's geothermal system suffered from overexploitation, and Papakura geyser and many others, fell silent.

New eruption on Reykjanes, Iceland started around 2 pm local time. The fissure is in the same place as the previous eruption, a few km north of Grindavik. Currently ~2.5 km long and may be still lengthening

Interested to find out more about geological hazards in the @CivilDefenceWKT area, follow along on the "a Waikato thing" podcasts an learn about #volcanoes #earthquakes #tsunami #weather

Due to the absence of further eruptive activity at Whakaari/White Island 🌋 since Sat 25 May, we have lowered the Volcanic Alert Level to Level 2 (moderate to heightened unrest).

First #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI overpass ~1.3 hours after the onset of today's #eruption on #Iceland's #Reykjanes peninsula shows very high SO₂ column amounts in plume spreading SE. Est. SO₂ emission rate is ~1400 kg/s (~120,000 tons/day). @Vedurstofan @CopernicusEU @rockhardIES

@templetonf Hi Harry thanks for this very sad news, I've worked with Fleur since her time with DSIR in the 1980's - a loss to SciComm.

[Brad Scott @Eruptn]

Just as good as mine, at the other end of the TVZ.

Fieldwork lunch spot on Tongariro yesterday 😍

Bit of a trip back in time with radio NZ this week, looking back to the 1995/96 eruptions at Ruapehu; https://t.co/xoiCC4lzGe

[GeoNet @geonet]

Although the unusual earthquakes have continued under Mt Ruapehu, our other monitored parameters have not changed. The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 1.  Read the full bulletin here: https://t.co/6EXJq5R3T3

[Dr Janine Krippner @janinekrippner]

Heading into the field with experts in the area is an incredible learning experience. The fantastic @Eruptn tells a beautiful story of how our calderas, faults, and geothermal activity, & people, are linked in our best-smelling city, #Rotorua. Thanks Brad!
