🪨A 400-million-year-old classroom! (1/2)
We hosted students from @AMNH's Master of Arts in Teaching Science program for their annual visit to the MHB. Behind our bridge office lies an ancient rock outcrop, estimated to be over 400 million years old. Talk about hands-on teaching!

@NYSBridge @AMNH Thanks for having us! A highlight of our week!

The Valley's geology layers share a rich story of continental formation, mountain building, & glacial impact, making them some of the most scientifically significant in the Appalachian region.
We’re always excited to support the next generation of Earth Science educators!

A new study by Prof. Marc-Antoine Longpré (@ma_longpre) and alumna Samantha Tramontano (@samtramrox) in @NatureGeosci suggests that magma composition could drive tremors during volcanic eruptions. Learn more: https://t.co/v152LlckwQ @AMNH

Stay safe, everyone.
For scientists interested in a coordinated response: CONVERSE is starting a coordination effort. we will be posting on the website and slack channel.

Preliminary glass data from the #2023svartsengi eruption! The ongoing eruption north of Hagafell, although more evolved, has a similar composition to the late erupted lavas from Fagradalsfjall. Glass MgO and K2O/TiO2 are of 6.0 wt% and 0.24, respectively.

HAD THE MOST FUN TONIGHT! Thanks for this opportunity to share this work alongside so many amazing GC researchers🤘🌋💅

Class of ‘23 grad Samantha Tramontano (@samtramrox) has already had an amazing career, collecting samples as the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted. Now she heads to a postdoc at @AMNH and shares this advice for other Ph.D. students https://t.co/NDK8E0wgzM @ma_longpre @cunygcees

Discussing my field experience during the 2021 La Palma eruption + petrologic work in the CONVERSE webinar *today* at 3PM EST! https://t.co/NsFgnahII5

Teaser: eruption ending signals, linking melt chemistry with physical monitoring signals, tracking subsurface viscosity changes

@ItsPlexiglass2U @ma_longpre This is your research too!!! Love this beyond love you both big hugs 🤗

[Lexi @ItsPlexiglass2U]

So proud of @samtramrox during her PhD defense! She is why I started studying 🌋and I can only hope to be like her one day. She makes being a scientist feel possible.(Ignore the tears. I hadn't heard Sam, @ma_longpre, or Dr. Ludmans voice in like 3 years and couldn't stop crying)

[Samantha Tramontano @samtramrox]

Publicly defending my PhD research at CUNY next Weds. March 15 (1 PM EST): Untangling the Nature and Timescales of Magmatic Processes Driving Eruptions at Quiescent Volcanoes: Examples from Momotombo, Nicaragua, and Cumbre Vieja, Canary Islands. All welcome - Dm me for zoom link!

Volgaynoes, a volcanology-themed queer art collaboration with @AilsaNaismith is now live on Kickstarter! 🏳️‍🌈🌋🏳️‍🌈

This is a science-art collaboration that shows off the beauty and diversity of volcanic processes on our planet while celebrating LGBTQ+ scientists and volcano lovers.

New paper alert! We use microCT to look at 3D chemical zoning in sanidine. Couple findings: 1) we can correlate this CT data to Ba concentration 2) sanidine zoning can be very complex such that 2D images will miss it. @geowhateverist https://t.co/hkb99KgKl0
