Archaeologist with a volcanology fetish, interested in the sublime. I've never loved Twitter, truth be told. Even before its implosion. Find me elsewhere!

@KLM @Victims_of_KLM my bags are missing (4 weeks!) from Schiphol; airline has yet to offer compensation or declare them lost so I can begin the insurance process. My fault, but I left the condolence cards for my father’s death in my bag. No $ replaces that. I get nothing but call centers in India.

.@karenholmberg has the best talk title of the entire conference: the little frog that couldn’t. The legend inspiring it tells us the story of Baru volcano. #Goldschmidt2022

[Karen Holmberg @karenholmberg]

❤️🌋 @AriannaSoldati got a round of spontaneous applause for having a rock star as a prop. Every geology sort loves to touch a rock to break up the conference doldrums!

[Arianna Soldati @AriannaSoldati]

But really, I know the picture y’all been waiting for is the sample’s… also to be credited to @karenholmberg #Goldschmidt2022

Calling all citizen scientists. Did you or someone you know observe volcanic ash falling on the U.S. East Coast after the eruption of #MountStHelens on May 18, 1980? Do you have photos? Samples? Reply in comments - we need your stories and observations for science! @USGSVolcanoes

Loving that the name of the Ryugu near-Earth asteroid was derived from a Japanese tale of a magical underwater palace to which a fisherman rode the back of a turtle and brought back a mysterious box, much like the Hayabusa2 mission! #goldschmidt2022

[Arianna Soldati @AriannaSoldati]

Ready to learn about asteroid geochemistry and mineralogy at #Goldschmidt2022! Because yes, we sent a probe to an asteroid, sampled it, and got that back to Earth!!!

Countdown to #Goldschmidt2022: hiked Diamond Head with ⁦@karenholmberg⁩.

[BrunoLatour @BrunoLatourAIME]

To witness rich boys using space travel for touristic amusement shows how much the modernist project of limitless expansion has come to a clownish end. Time to land. Don’t repeat history by farce; dream again, but interesting dreams.

[Dr Robin George Andrews 🌋☄️ @SquigglyVolcano]

Nyiragongo is no joke. It’s arguably one of the most dangerous volcanoes on the entire continent, and a nightmare for those in the DRC and neighbouring Rwanda.

A brief thread... 1/x

"We are not sure if lava will set our floor on fire. It’s class A fire rated so I don’t think it will, but it’s lava." #LabSetUp #VolcanologistProblems

Just another stunning view of Lawetlat'la doing her thing on this day 41 years ago. Photo by Austin Post, scanned by one of our admin today. Here's some backstory on the traditional native name(s) of Mount St Helens https://t.co/enCV4MiUxF.

[Karen Holmberg @karenholmberg]

@ARCHAEOfelix @Vertigo_Itn Thank YOU for the opportunity to be a part of it despite the pandemic and lockdown difficulties. I ache that I never saw it in person but was honored to be included from thousands of km away. Keep rocking; the kind of outreach work you are doing is so important.
