SEA-SEIS: Structure, Evolution and Seismicity of the Irish offshore. A research project that deployed broadband OBSs across a vast area in the North Atlantic🌊.
Using a similar seismic imaging technique, Raffaele Bonadio is trying to understand how the Iceland plume behaved in its infancy, when its network of volcanoes spread as far as Britain, Ireland and Greenland. Image credit: Bonadio.

@JannekedeLaat is using ‘seismic CT scans’ to look deep into the Iceland plume's plumbing system, using data collected by ocean bottom seismometers deployed as part of the SEA-SEIS project (led by @DIAS_Dublin)

Beneath Iceland lies a colossal fountain of hot rock that rises from Earth's core-mantle boundary. It's the largest mantle plume on Earth, but scientists still have a lot to learn about its workings.
Our researchers presented their work on the Iceland plume at #EGU24, a🧵
Seismic Thermography https://t.co/C8C2CBkjty
Seismic tomography maps seismic velocity variations in the mantle, which strongly depend on temperature. Temperatures are, thus, often inferred from tomography.
@ekh_sci@freqflyer It turned out the variations in the thickness of the tectonic plate controlled the distribution of earthquakes: https://t.co/bP7yBUKPgr
Closing date 19th Nov 2023 but late applications will be considered. Application details: https://t.co/1OJZXM6ipv & https://t.co/sKOsWuVi3l

📢Postdoc opportunities in seismology, thermodynamic inversion and petrology/geochemistry! With Sergei Lebedev & Sally Gibson at @Cambridge_Uni on the exciting new project 'Lithospheric structure, mantle dynamics & the origins of CO2-rich intraplate magmatism & REE deposits.'
#Researchers have discovered that variations in tectonic plates' thickness relate directly to #earthquake distribution in #Britain, #Ireland, and around the world.
More on this here! @physorg_com ➡️ https://t.co/7UIigDU1WJ
#MustRead: A study carried out by researchers at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (@DIAS_Dublin) and the University of Cambridge (@Cambridge_Uni) means we finally know why Ireland gets fewer earthquakes than its neighbour. https://t.co/u0f6Ak3kYO
Dr. Florian Le Pape and Dr. Clara Gómez Garcia waving goodbye from the Celtic Explorer, on the SPeeD Cruise (Sediment Plume Sampling, Bedrock Drilling & Coral Surveying). 3 Ocean Bottom Seismometers will be deplyed. #SPeeD#DIASDiscovers@MarineInst @uccBEES @IPGP_official
This #InternationalWomensDay DIAS will be co-hosting a workshop on career paths in geoscience for aspiring female scientists with @GirlsintoGeo_ie
Talks begin at 4pm on Tuesday 8th March.

The recent Tonga-Hunga Ha‘apai and Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruptions remind us all of how devastating nature can be. A better understanding of the processes occurring deep below Earth's surface bring the possibility of predicting eruptions a little closer 👉 https://t.co/GmtcUblVqq
New @BAS_news population estimates in @MEPS_IR show strong return of whales to the #Antarctic Scotia Arc! We estimate ~43,000 baleen whales around #southgeorgia & South Sandwich Islands in 2019, ~24,500 humpback whales in the Scotia Arc, South Atlantic 🐳🧵https://t.co/jfTz7Dxx8M
Watching a solar eclipse from a satellite in geostationary orbit in space is a very different experience, as you can see in this week's #imaggeoOnMonday video by Maximilian Reuter.
