PhD student at @EarthSciCam currently in the North Atlantic on @IMPULSE_cruise 🌊🇮🇸⛴️

[Cambridge Earth Sciences @EarthSciCam]

A team of Cambridge geoscientists are onboard the @IMPULSE_cruise, taking the pulse of the Icelandic Mantle Plume🛳️🌋

@VolcanicAsh__ @PhilippaSlay and Callum Pearman are spending 38 days in the North Atlantic! The international research expedition is led by @LES_UniBham.

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Our first deployment coincided with the magnitude 7.1 #earthquake in Japan. Our OBSs detected the signal here in the North Atlantic, 8,500 km from the epicentre

[IMPULSE @IMPULSE_cruise]

We successfully retrieved all our instruments and are on our second round of deployment! The data from line one is looking good, and we even managed to pick up the Japan earthquake!

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Seventy two hours in and all fifty OBSs have been deployed for the first instalment of data collection! 🌊

[IMPULSE @IMPULSE_cruise]

After just over a day of sailing, we made it to our first OBS drop @ midnight! We’re deploying ocean bottom seismometers to record acoustic waves and using the data to interpret the structure and thickness of the oceanic crust south of Iceland 🇮🇸

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Home for the next six weeks as @IMPULSE_cruise sets off to study the mid-ocean ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean! 🌊 🇮🇸 ⛴️

[IMPULSE @IMPULSE_cruise]

🚢🌊Welcome aboard! 🌊🚢
Meet the science party of the IMPULSE cruise as we board our new floating home for the next 6 weeks, the Marcus G Langseth!

Mandatary team photos completed, ready to sail 10 am tomorrow morning!

I’ll be presenting at #EGU24 tomorrow on the dynamic topography of the South Atlantic! Come along to X2.42 between 10:45-12:30 to hear all about it 🌎🌍

[Philip Heron @philipheron]

'Art and music as a teaching aid for STEM subjects'. I'll be at x1.82 this afternoon. Come by to:
1. hear Think Like A Scientist work
2. take a postcard by @fcrameri
3. hear songs from my 2006 iPod Mini

[Alex Lipp @AlexGLipp]

Just finished 2 weeks sampling in the unbelievable Macleay river basin with @PhilippaSlay and Mark Hoggard… looking forward to some good geophysical, geochemical & geomorphological analysis to understand how the (insane) landscapes form and evolve…

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

#AGU23 was excellent! Learnt so much this week from so many great scientists. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster for the discussions and ideas, to the friends who made it all such fun, and to @RoyalAstroSoc and @britgeophysics for the opportunity to attend 🌎🌍🌏

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Interested in the dynamic topography of the Australian continent? Come along to my poster at #AGU23 today!

It’s poster DI33B-0028 and I’ll be presenting all afternoon 🌏🇦🇺🦘

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Very pleased to receive the Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation Award at @EuroGeosciences 2023!

I received this award for my research titled 'Observed Dynamic Topography and Cenozoic Magmatism of the Eastern Seaboard of Australia'.

Had a fab time at #EGU23 last week - it was great to meet lots of new people, discuss ideas, and share my own research, made all the better by being in beautiful Vienna!

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

happy to be back in Vienna for #EGU2023! I am presenting on the dynamic topography of Australia this afternoon, 14:05-15:45 at X2.165, come along to hear more!

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

It was a pleasure to attend the #CADA2023 symposium @NHM_London last week and hear about all kinds of science research in such a fab location! 🦖

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

@JannekedeLaat @dias_geophysics Congratulations Janneke! 🥳

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

I had a great time at @BGA_PGRiP presenting and discussing my PhD work, and meeting other students and hearing about their work. It was an absolute honour to be awarded the @britgeophysics best poster award, thank you!

[Philippa Slay @PhilippaSlay]

Thanks to the organisers for such a fab conference @BGA_PGRiP!
