AscensionVolcanology

Our team spans #UEA, #Durham, #BGS and #SUERC, we are working together to produce an effective volcanic hazard mitigation strategy for #AscensionIsland 🌋🏝️⚒️

[AscensionVolcanology @AscensionVolc]

@grumpy_volcano Congrats!!! Well done, you'll be great!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

MSc student @_honorj is presenting her observations of shear zone textures from a slip surface formed during a volcanic debris avalanche on Ascension island, and she'll be explaining her plans to recreate these experimentally! Monday (today!) at 5.40 pm.

[AscensionVolcanology @AscensionVolc]

@AIGConservation @antoineloucha62 Afraid we haven't produced anything ourselves but there's this one from 1979 that has a little more detail than the standard ones. https://t.co/Ul2jnVZdzN

Part of the new @BGSvolcanology @DurUniEarthSci Ascension Island geological map is at the next stage: each outcrop now coded in ArcMap with a rock type. Lots of to-and-fro between PC, photos, drone video, fieldslips and notebooks. @AscensionVolc @AIGConservation @ascension_gov

[Richard James Brown @Earth_Sci_Richy]

Getting back to our new geological map of Ascension Island after covid disruption. An intriguing puzzle that needs to be patiently pieced together @BGSvolcanology @AscensionVolc @AIGConservation @ascension_gov

[AscensionVolcanology @AscensionVolc]

Work which could not have taken place without the help of the incredible folks @AIGConservation, @ascension_gov & the volunteers who helped us out.

I'm officially on holiday but my first 1st author paper has been PUBLISHED!
We reconstruct the progression of a small-volume trachytic eruption on #AscensionIsland

An incredible body of work here from a great team of researchers. Well done @KatieJPreece for getting this research out there!!

One island (#Ascension), ~One Million Years, > 80 explosive felsic eruptions. Only @KatieJPreece (and her crack squadron of academic hangers-on) can unravel the record... Read all about it from this (50 day) OA author link https://t.co/Ht0ljeZd26
Felsic eruptions on Ascension...

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

Katie Preece (@KatieJPreece) leads a new study with @VolcanoJenni, @volcano_katy, @Darren_F_Mark, and our @Earth_Sci_Richy, exploring the the record of felsic explosive eruptions on Ascension Island (@AscensionVolc) in the last million years!

@_honorj congrats on the scholarship! Honor will use microtextural studies and rotary shear experiments to help understand a volcanic landslide on Ascension Island. @DurUniEarthSci @Durham_Volc @DU_Structural @KatieJPreece @AscensionVolc @AIGConservation

The imaginative team @quitoriskhub finding ways to explore a better future for those in Quito’s barrios, when they face many hazards too. @UrbanRiskHub

#followtheevidence @KwasiKwarteng Here is another letter - this time from @ARISEHub from their researchers in Bangladesh: https://t.co/GB8BNTQJwo

[ProfJenniBarclay @VolcanoJenni]

So @KwasiKwarteng according to you in a chat with @LordsSTCom the regrettable #ODAcuts have not affected our international standing, just as we host the G7 and COP26!
As fan of following the evidence I present the evidence to the contrary #reversethecuts https://t.co/WI5exAgCwI

[ProfJenniBarclay @VolcanoJenni]

Because its a travesty and we have had _no_ UK Government response @DominicRaab @beisgovuk @FCDOGovUK - we wrote to Nature Editor about the #reverseODAcuts letters. They published it - more response please from @beisgovuk https://t.co/L18kGclfTX

[ProfJenniBarclay @VolcanoJenni]

Today I discovered an exciting new word it’s ‘reprofiling’. This word means: to take all the hard work and trust of dozens of researchers and communities. And grind it into the dust. #reverseODAcuts

I have nothing positive to say about this, nothing.

[ProfJenniBarclay @VolcanoJenni]

🧵🧵🧵In enacting the cuts to @UKRI_News #ODAfunding we lose 🇬🇧credibility &savage our global scientific standing. In reversing the cuts to #ODA funds, we would save time, money & progress on the #SDGs. In our @bmj_latest blog we explain why:

I was subjected to racism & injustice supported by a white dominated structure & system that gaslit me, tried to silence me & even tried to force me to apologise for my claims. Pls don't tell me institutional racism does not exist. #racism #RacismIsReal #RacismReport

[AscensionVolcanology @AscensionVolc]

Excellent use of colour and exciting view of multiple vents!
Looks like there's a mini volcanologist in the house. Maybe he needs a profile on our web page? 🌋🌋🌋

[Richard James Brown @Earth_Sci_Richy]

@AscensionVolc @AIGConservation @ascension_gov my son wanted his painting of a basaltic eruption on Green Mountain to be seen by people on the island. He'd love to know what you think!

[Durham Volcanology @Durham_Volc]

At #vVMSG, check out @beccawinnie’s research into the eruptive history and variable eruptive style of a fissure on Ascension Island “The Devil’s Ink Pot”! 🏝 🌋
