So happy to see this finally out! We extract quantitative information about aerosols from uncalibrated OP-FTIR data, and look at the plume of the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption. With @MikeBurton_Volc @tamsinmather @Volcano_Matt Melissa Pfeffer @Vedurstofan

This is a rare opportunity to work at the IMO - Iceland is *very* active at the moment - this would be an amazing job!

Fully funded PhD project at @UoM_EES with @BrendanVolc, @skebmeier and @volcano_ben, supported by @NERC_COMET and @OfficialUoM on volcanic degassing and ground deformation processes.

Great career opportunities arising from this training.🌋

Hopefully putting all the information in one place will make it easier to assess if the lunar polar volatiles have volcanic compositions when we get some in-situ measurements.

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

Looking at the petrological measurements, the best evidence suggests lunar eruptions were more hydrogen- and sulfur-rich than carbon-rich.

Can't wait to see how this impacts lunar eruption models!

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

We examined published sample measurements from Apollo and other missions, alongside estimated lunar volcanic gas contents, finding big differences.

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

With the upcoming NASA #Artemis and CLPS missions interested in exploring ice deposits at the lunar poles, some previous work suggested volcanic eruptions as a possible source of the trapped volatiles.

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

Thrilled that my #volcanology review of lunar volcanic gases is now out!

Big thanks to my advisor here at @UArizonaLPL, Christopher Hamilton, and @jessrocks88.

Check out the review here: https://t.co/hgcysWoJ4H , but here’s a quick summary:

[Nathan Hadland @nathan_hadland]

My review paper on the microbiology of volcanic environments is now up. Really proud of this one!

Congratulations to @euanjfmutch for his beautiful paper about 3D diffusion of water in olivine, out today in G-cubed! @umdgeology 🌋 https://t.co/2ZrtxAp3Mm

[Mike Burton @MikeBurton_Volc]

Very excited about this fully funded PhD project in @UoM_EES with @BrendanVolc @skebmeier and @volcano_ben, supported by @NERC_COMET and @OfficialUoM on volcanic degassing and ground deformation processes. Great career opportunities arising from this training. Please apply!

Less than a week left to apply for two Postdoc positions in @oxford_EODG at @OxfordAOPP. The postdocs will use satellite data to study the volcanic clouds emitted by the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption. (1/3)

[Dr. Evgenia Ilyinskaya @EIlyinskaya]

Afraid the Icelandic place names are not any easier in this volcanic episode. Sundhnúksgígar*, a row of ancient eruptive craters, is where the dyke lies now #Grindavik

*It says Sundhnúkagígar on the pic, but that's grammatically incorrect

TOUCHDOWN! The #OSIRISREx sample capsule landed at the Utah Test and Training Range at 10:52am ET (1452 UTC) after a 3.86-billion mile journey. This marks the US's first sample return mission of its kind and will open a time capsule to the beginnings of our solar system.

🌋Super excited to share my 2nd paper! 🫧
Could bubble chains facilitate open system degassing in basaltic systems?
Answer: it's possible, but more complex experiments are needed!

@jfsmekens It seemed totally crazy to me too. I have no idea what events led up to it.

My impression was it was past contacting the first author. Any idea how to even write that message to the editor? My thought was to send a draft with the copied paragraphs highlighted.

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

My friend wants advice as their research was stolen and published with their coauthors’ names (paragraphs of text and figures were lifted from the draft).

Absolutely fuming for them 😡, but what’s the best approach? Immediately contact the editor? Or something else?

[Matthew Varnam @Volcano_Matt]

@jfsmekens With the agreement of the co-authors I think. My friend’s name was removed from the author list despite them having written several drafts
