I’m a volcanologist interested in bubbles and nanolites in high silica magmas!

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 Read it here (https://t.co/nZHNC4s7Po) if you’re up for a riveting dive into our study on the abundance of titanomagnetite in pumice from four eruptions—using magnetic methodologies to identify bubble nucleation style!

And that’s PhD done!

@magmatis Wow! So lucky I heard the purple aurora is pretty rare! Made extra rare by the fact you could see it in broad daylight! 😉

@caldera_curator Thank you!

April 11th I passed my PhD defense! Today April 23rd my first first author paper (https://t.co/mzvf1qDZAr) was published in GGG! This paper has a companion paper by Stefanie Brachfeld (https://t.co/mzvf1qDZAr). This summer I am off to Lancaster University to begin my post doc!

@magmatis Thanks for the shout out Tom! Love the art... looks so good it could be AI! 😉

@VolcanoPadawan Well done Rose!

[Kelly McCartney @KellyMagnetite]

Come swing by my poster this afternoon! I will be talking about some sessile drop experiments I performed with rhyolite liquid and several mineral substrates! I’ll be at poster 178 from 2:10-6:30pm! #AGU23

The AGU abstract deadline is tomorrow, and there's still time to submit to our session V004 - A Jack of Small Trades: Zooming in on the Nano and Micro Scale to Better Understand Magmatic Processes!

We're excited to see you!

A great week designing a volcanic eruption scenario in Albuquerque with CSBI capped off by a visit to Valles!

Ever wondered what happens when you cook muscovite at 850 C? I noticed this cool reaction while performing some heated stage microscope experiments in the lab of @magmatis. My guess is its dehydrating... and rather violently as you see the glass chip (dark square) bouncing.

@KarenLikesRocks @uafairbanks Congrats! It was awesome being able to see you graduate!

[Kelly McCartney @KellyMagnetite]

@beni_n_the_jets Yes haha! I wasn’t expecting it to expand quite as much as it did lol

[Kelly McCartney @KellyMagnetite]

Oh what a difference temperature can make! Both are rhyolite obsidian from the 1100 CE Glass Mountain eruption. The top was dwelled for 30 minutes at 1200 C and the bottom dwelled for 30 min at 1000 C. Both cores were initially the same size (~0.7 cm long)!

@nitin_rockmag @iavcei2023 Thank you for your interest in my research!

[Kelly McCartney @KellyMagnetite]

Tonight I will be presenting my poster on detecting nm scale titanomagnetite in rhyolite pumice using magnetic methodologies. Drop by if you have a moment! @iavcei2023

@HaydenDaltonGeo @WadsworthFabian @IAVCEI_official @magmatis Haha thank you for stopping by! I had fun sharing the wonderful world of magnetic analysis (aka fancy toaster instruments lol)!

@WadsworthFabian @IAVCEI_official @magmatis Thank you for stopping by! I had a great time talking science with you!
