Two weeks between Nevada and California, looking at the Nine Hill Tuff. We are studying the flow directions of the PDC using the AMS technique. By the way, an amazing place where to work!

[Aurora Silleni @aurora_volc]

I spent the last two weeks in the field with amazing people. I learnt a lot and I am proud to have shared my knowledge to the students. Their notebooks:

I am so happy to be back in the field. We are drilling the Nine Hills Tuff, trying to understand the direction of flowing of this #PDC. Thanks to Christopher Henry of the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology,
University of Nevada, for the assistance! @IndujaaGanache @nau_ses

@kaylai We will do it 😉💪🏻, soon or later!

[Aurora Silleni @aurora_volc]

@kaylai I'm so glad to have worked with her. Great job! I hope to be soon in Italy and look at these rocks together, finally!

[Aurora Silleni @aurora_volc]

I'm so glad to be the Key Note Speaker at the 4th A. Rittmann conference for young researchers (thanks to Laura Spina and @TroleseMatteo). There's still time to sign up for it (deadline 1st April) at https://t.co/RcEBkRokRf
See you there!

Do you want to know more about large-volume ignimbrites? Don't miss my poster! Check it out tomorrow (V008-0020), there is both a chat and a live session scheduled. See you there! #AGU20 @theAGU @nau_ses @Scienze_RomaTre @INGVvulcani #geology

[Aurora Silleni @aurora_volc]

Thanks @nau_ses to talk about our research!

[NAU SES @nau_ses]

Congrats to SES postdoc @aurora_volc on the coverage of your PhD work in @ilmessaggeroit! The article is titled “This is how we read our history from the magma” and describes Dr. Silleni's work on the Campi Flegrei eruption outside Naples at 39.8 Ma. A huge event! #NAU_Geology

[Aurora Silleni @aurora_volc]

Ringrazio Il Messaggero e Enzo Vitale per l'articolo di oggi che parla del nostro ultimo lavoro pubblicato su Frontiers in Earth Science!

New paper about the Magnitude of the 39.8 ka Campanian Ignimbrite Eruption, Italy. This work was carried at @Scienze_RomaTre and at Northern Arizona University, in collaboration with Dr. Roberto Isaia at @INGVvulcani

Black Point volcano, California. Amazing bedforms from a Surtseyan eruption occurred 13000 ka, in Lake Russell, from a water depth of 105 m.

Back in the field (following COVID restrictions) with some students of volcanology class at NAU. Almost five days along the Long Valley Caldera, CA, looking at the Bishop Tuff. Thanks to Wes Hildreth of @USGS for the amazing day that he spent with us. I have missed this!
