Episode 8 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption at the summit of Kīlauea began last night, February 3, 2025, at 9:52 p.m. HST. Fountaining continues as of this morning. Livestream views available here: https://t.co/jAcOUDIHjq

How does the viscosity of real lava vary spatially and with temperature across an active flow field? @UBGeology PhD student Martin Harris built the gear to find out and applied it to Icelandic lava:

New experimental paper from our lab! We quantitatively show that most dome lavas are emplaced via a mixed viscous-brittle flow mechanism! Potentially transformative implications for our understanding of volcanic eruptions!

#ETNA - COMUNICATO DI ATTIVITA' VULCANICA del 2024-07-15 19:57 (UTC) - 21:57 ora locale
L' #INGV #OsservatorioEtneo, comunica che l'attività stromboliana al Cratere Voragine si è intensificata ed è in atto una #fontanadilava con emissioni di cenere.

In occasione dei rilievi effettuati dal personale #INGV dei progetti #UNO e #DYNAMO a #Stromboli, stamattina e' stato osservato questo evento localizzato nell'area del parossismo dell'11 luglio

[INGVvulcani @INGVvulcani]

Breve sequenza esplosiva registrata oggi 14 luglio 2024 sull'Etna, a doppia voce dal cratere Voragine (in attivita' gia' da ieri) e da un redivivo cratere di Nordest.

UB PhD student Martin Harris has built a new portable penetrometer for measuring the viscosity of active lava and used it to measure lavas at Litli-Hrutur in Iceland. Check it out!

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

#Etna's Southeast Crater continues emitting countless graceful vapor rings ("volcanic vortex rings"), a phenomenon never seen like this before. Someone said "maybe because we receive so much bad news lately, Etna has decided to do something simply beautiful". 5 April 2024

[Boris Behncke @etnaboris]

#Etna is putting on a new, different show. Since the evening of 2 April 2024, a small vent on the Southeast Crater is emetting unprecedented quantities of gas rings (volcanic vortex rings). Timelapse (10x) video recorded at dawn on 4 April 2024 from home in Tremestieri Etneo

New work led by our Luiz @PereiraConca out now in Journal of #Volcanology and Geothermal Research, showing how nanolite crystallisation increases #magma viscosity due to silica enrichment in residual melt.

The La Cumbre #volcano on Ferandina Island in the Galapagos has been continually erupting since early Sunday. Imagery from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️ shows the hotspot and smoke plume emanating from the archipelago.

[Dr. Evgenia Ilyinskaya @EIlyinskaya]

Lava has engulfed hot water pipeline that supplies 30,000 people across Reykjanes peninsula. Homes are heated with this water so this is a serious incident and work is underway on mitigating it. Map published on @RUVfrettir

[Rob Askew @RobAskew2]

Very plume-y on the commute. Lava really trucking it toward blue lagoon - very splooshy lava as we say in the biz
