Zap, flash, boom! 🌋⚡️💥My project VOLTA on ash plume electrification and #volcaniclightning has been selected in this round of ERC Consolidator Grants! Honored and thrilled.... onwards!
Voltaic was of this very nice follow up of our lightning experiments @LMU_Volc, now introducing heat and steam in the autoclave. Congratulations @soenke_volc and @CorCima !

How can we use experiments to analyse the influence of water content and temperature on the electrification of volcanic plumes? Very much looking forward to tell you more about that, today, 2:45 pm at #IUGG2019@CorCima@LMU_Volc
Two days ago, I was at #IUGG2019 to received the Walker Award from @IAVCEI_official. I am very honoured of this price rewarding of all the work made with @hphtlab@LMU_Volc@CorCima Nemoh, and so many others. Thank you so much to everyone involved in these projects! 🌋⚡
Did I forgot to tell you that the first Voltaic-EU paper was out?
Experiments showing that grainsize distribution, burst pressure and mass of ash all influence the electrical activity of a volcanic jet, but all in a different way...

Another impressive example of #volcaniclightning accompanying the current eruption of Anak Krakatau. #Bogoslov was almost exactly a year ago, in between several other volcanoes lightened the sky #Fuego, #Ambae .... and the usual suspect #Sakurajima we study with @voltaic_eu
“Surtseyan”-like jets at #AnakKrakatau reveal possible magma-water interaction associated with intense electrical discharges. What role plays water in plume electrification? Is it increased fragmentation the only trick? We urevel this with @soenke_volc experiments @voltaic_eu
