Catastrophe modelling kiwi living in Singapore. PhD on volcanic impacts to buildings ‍ 🏘 🌋 🏘

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

This is from the Mendenhall River Floods in Alaska.

This happened over a span of six hours. 😧

Can you imagine watching that happen to your home knowing there’s nothing that can save it?

Defending my thesis on lava flow impacts next week… please join online if interested! 🌋

[New paper] OpenStreetMap has data on 500M+ buildings thanks to million of contributors. So how good is it? We provide a comprehensive global quality analysis on its attributes across multiple dimensions (e.g. completeness & accuracy) 🔬🗺️. Read more: https://t.co/2zQC0NkhAw

Breathtaking satellite image of the bomb cyclone off the coast of California.

So good to finally see this paper out, nearly five years after the workshop discussions that sparked the idea 🫠

Key takeaway: inclusion rates are slooowly improving but there are many places where we have to do better, ideally now

[Volcanica @WeAreVolcanica]

New paper! How inclusive is volcanology? Here are new insights from a global bibliometric analysis by @Tyranakisaurus and colleagues!

Really afraid of what we are going to see when the storm finally passes. #Ian #FtMyers

@fathialz @MikeVolc @Tyranakisaurus @PVMBG_ @brin_indonesia Important to note that our analysis is limited to two databases that are likely missing a ton of amazing research from non-English journals. So surely the imbalance is not quite as bad as we report it to be 😁

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

Bonus factoid about this paper that was rather mind blowing (until we stopped to think about it at least).

We found more papers just on Mt Saint Helens than for all of Indonesia's volcanoes combined... 🤔

Great work writing up @Tyranakisaurus!

[Geoff Lerner @Tyranakisaurus]

How inclusive do you think volcanology is? In our new preprint, we tried one way of looking at it. We investigated how often locally affiliated authors are included in or lead research about volcanoes in their own countries. #volcano #inclusion

@ameltstory @Sim0nRedfern @NTU_ASE Go Daniel!

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@lavagirlnz I always recommend Haw Par Villa. The most bizarre attraction, unlike anything else here. Bring an umbrella for the sun if you go during the day 🥵 https://t.co/xial8OHLSD

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@HannahMBuckland Go with GitHub! Or both? It's so nice having the link to repo right there in the text. Only downside is feeling the need to make a useful, fancy looking, time consuming readme as a final hurdle before submission 😅

[Volcanic Hazard and Risk Group @VolcanoRisk]

Another exciting paper just out (I'm so behind!): asessing past and future eruptions and impacts from the lesser known Bolaven Volcanic Field in Laos. Congrats to @AndreaVerolino and team: Kerry Sieh, Dayana Schonwalder-Angel, Vanpheng Sihavong and Oh Jee Hon.

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@VolcanoRisk @AndreaVerolino Too many papers coming out sounds like a good problem to have, Assoc. Prof. Jenkins!

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@Tyranakisaurus @volcanomum @CoV11Crete @swrtsang Bit late but here you go mate. Slap that into the ol Google Doc - just need to find a journal that will accept this 😂

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@swrtsang @lavabombs @WeAreVolcanica Dot size represents the number of articles from which we could extract volcano names. Though now I wish I'd used dogs instead of dots for the plot🐶

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

Don't miss Geoff's talk if you're at #COV11 I suspect it will be an eye opener for many. We've analysed a ton of data to come out with plots like this, showing how inclusivity varies by journal. @WeAreVolcanica leading the pack 👍

[Geoff Lerner @Tyranakisaurus]

Hey #COV11 people! Interested in inclusion in volcanology? We've been studying how often volcano research includes local researchers and how this has changed over time. We really really want your feedback! Come watch session PS4 Monday at 2:30pm Methana Hall. #citiesonvolcanoes11

[George Williams @whenrocksfly]

@alecjwild @WeAreVolcanica Our lovely acronym, "locally domiciled author" - based on relationship between author affiliation address and the country of any volcanoes mentioned in their publications

[Damià Benet @dbenet4]

Super excited to share the main results of three years in my PhD at #COV11 (https://t.co/GpSEXvelRy) on volcanic ash monitoring, and in particular, towards an automatic classification of the particles. Please, drop by to discuss/chat!

[Elinor Meredith @elinormere]

Our work on lava flow impacts at Kīlauea is published! Discover how lava damage isn't binary and extends beyond the channel and flow margin...
