A totally tephratastic 2024 COT-INTIMATE-THM conference in Catania 🌋.

Look at these beautiful #tephra made by the brilliant Elo Wilkinson-Rowe who I have learnt so much from, and with, over the last few years in the Cambridge Tephra Lab @camtephra.bsky.social
Elo is heading next to Oxford to start her PhD with Victoria Smith @volcrocks.bsky.social 👏👏

Delighted to share our new UKRI AHRC Catalyst Award project: Reliance or Resilience? Volcanism and the Ancient Maya.
