PhD student at @UQ_sees. I study weird volcanoes and the redox conditions of Neoproterozoic Earth.

Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event.

@caldera_curator @geowhateverist @supereruption Congratulations mate!

[Teresa Ubide @teresaubide]

Super congrats @Structural_Ward on his geophysical & geochemical approach to understanding anomalous arc volcanism + links to porphyry copper deposits in Indonesia !! Beautiful #PhD work just published in #EPSL 🤗👏🌋

First-ever: We've identified a new astronomical object, 'Buried Planet', using SEISMOLOGY, rather than telescopes. It's a survivor of Theia, the planet that collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form our Moon. See our @Nature cover paper: https://t.co/ILvMStRA4V

It's been a busy few days for earthquakes! We just released a post about yesterday's M7.1 ultra-deep quake in the Bali Sea. Yesterday we wrote about a M3.6 in Ohio, and the day before that a M5.7 in western Colombia. Subscribe to our newsletter - you'll become great at geography!

Devastating news out #Antarctica today. Thousands of Emperor 🐧 chicks died this summer when the sea ice melted before they could survive in the water 😢

Article: Intraplate volcanoes erupt lower volumes of more diverse magma and have increasingly complex magmatic architectures as heat from the mantle plume wanes

Interested in volatiles in magmas? Too busy enjoying the wonderful weather at #iavcei2023 to attend the workshop? Worry not, @kaylai, @eryhughes, @NZvolcanologist and Shuo Ding have a YouTube channel for you to peruse!

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

Morning #iavcei2023 !! Very excited for the @VIPSCommission session on the architecture and dynamics of #magma plumbing systems 🌋 super honoured to be an invited speaker, thanks so much to the organisers @janinekavanagh et al!! 😊
Join us!! 2:30pm today in room 7!!

[Jack Ward @Structural_Ward]

I was lucky enough to make it to #iavcei2023 without any problems and even luckier to attend the amazing alphaMELTS workshop led by @Caltech’s Paul Asimow and @magmasource. I’m looking forward to an excellent week!

[Jack Ward @Structural_Ward]

@DrHangTTa Congratulations @NanoKarlaPrada, excellent work!

[Anya M. Reading @dataforwisdom]

First phase of our seismology deployment, targetting Earth-Ice interactions, completed during Dec. Field innovations led by @TobiasStl. Wonderful support from @AusAntarctic and all at Casey Station.

A reminder of the choices that global society has to make about the climate:
Delaying action on reducing emissions commits the world to live with severe consequences.
Rapid action now means a more habitable world for all.
There is no going back. Choose wisely.
