I am absolutely delighted to have won the Bob Hunter Prize for best student oral presentation at this years VMSG conference, presenting the first chapter of my PhD "Controls on magma storage depth across the Galápagos Archipelago" funded by @IrishResearch

[VMSG @vmsg_uk]

Our committee also enjoyed the impressive range of talks & posters presented during this week's #VMSG_MDSG25. Congrats to our winners & runners-up for best student talk & poster; Lydia, Abigail, Katie & Jasmine!

The future of research is in safe hands! Thank you to everybody who attended today's event it was a pleasure to meet in real life, share and connect ideas! Looking forward to our next event already #promotewomen @UL

[Lydia Whittaker @LydWhit]

Had a fantastic morning at the @Promote_Women workshop having real talk about what it takes to be a successful female researcher in Ireland, fantastic advice and a plethora of new resources to explore 😁

My grandpa who is 85 started making this rock map of Scotland in 1992.He collected rocks during amateur geology trips over 30 years. He says it had to be geologically correct and also aesthetically pleasing.He asked if I could share online as He wants to go viral so please share

Happy Friday! I’m Remy and I provide @dublinmagma with moral support during their research. My volcano knowledge is admittedly quite limited, but I try my best to help out with fieldwork around Ireland!

[Dublin Magmatism Group @dublinmagma]

Second year PhD student @LydWhit went to the combined IRC @IrishResearch and SFI @scienceirel #Summit23 this week to present a poster on her first years research on the Galapagos Archipelago

[Dublin Magmatism Group @dublinmagma]

I'm Lydia (@LydWhit) I started my PhD with @MikeJ_Stock in 2022 funded by @IrishResearch. My research investigates changes in the architecture and dynamics of magmatic plumbing systems in the Galápagos through novel geochemical analysis and advanced modelling techniques.

Fiery Forces of Ireland was a huge hit last night at @CultureNightDub with over 250 visitors! We had such a blast - volcanoes and earthquakes everywhere!! 🌋🖤

So good to be back in #Galapagos with an amazing international team from @TCD_NatSci @EarthSciCam and @IGecuador looking at the generation of ocean island rhyolites! Huge thanks to @DarwinFound for essential support! 🌋@christs_college

Video recorded by #HVO geologists of the new #Kilauea eruption. This clip is from the west rim of the crater at approximately 6 a.m. HST. Telephoto view shows multiple active vent sources and lava flooding the crater floor.

Today I’m making thin section descriptions for the first time since I completed my undergrad 3 years ago. I’d forgotten how pleasant it is seeing all the colours and drawing my little diagrams, I’m having a really lovely day 🔬☺️

[Emma Blanka Kovacs @EmmaBlanka]

Check out our new paper on seafloor anoxia at the end-Triassic mass extinction. Congratulations @Voyager424! Csővár for the win!

Great day discussing the amazing and diverse volcano science taking place in Dublin yesterday!

@claire_harnett1 and I were very happy to bring together researchers from @TCDOnTheRocks, @UCD_Earth_Sci and @DIAS_Dublin for the first #DublinVolcanoDay! @iCRAGcentre

[Lydia Whittaker @LydWhit]

Got a bit creative with my flash talk this afternoon, it was a nice soft launch into presenting my PhD research 🌋 #DublinVolcanoDay @TCDOnTheRocks @TCD_NatSci @IrishResearch
