Really enjoyed the @ukiodp.bsky.social Magellan workshop on zero-age crust held @noc.ac.uk. Excellent group with fascinating discussions, expertly led by Michelle Harris and Aled Evans. Very excited for the proposals to come.

An excellent final @vmsg.bsky.social Annual Meeting Workshop today led by @volcanologist.bsky.social @pyroclasticpete.bsky.social @drnatashadowey.bsky.social on pyroclastic stratigraphies. I learned a lot and there were some great conversations. Thanks to all involved!

Huge congratulations to Jacob Nash from @noc.ac.uk on winning the Bob Hunter Prize for Best Student Oral Presentation at the @vmsg.bsky.social Annual Meeting. Very well deserved and stay tuned for his soon to be published paper on the marine deposits of the Hunga Volcano eruption.

The end of a great @vmsg.bsky.social Annual Meeting hosted by @noc.ac.uk. Two and a half days of high quality science and still one more workshop to look forwards to tomorrow on pyroclastic stratigraphies led by @volcanologist.bsky.social @pyroclasticpete.bsky.social @drnatashadowey.bsky.social

What a cracking first day of science presentations at the @vmsg.bsky.social Annual Meeting at @noc.ac.uk Fascinating talks and posters across the sessions. Back today covering magma, eruptive processes and volcanic monitoring among other topics. Photos taken by Dan Bourne.

It was a huge privilege to contribute to this plan for the future of marine science infrastructure and the final report is a huge community effort. The UK have long been world leaders in marine hazards research and long may it continue!

The best thing about this job is that you get to keep learning. Absolutely incredible day looking at landslide and lahar deposits off Etna with amazing INGV scientists and @mikeaclare.bsky.social (who always teaches me things I don’t know about sediments).

This year thousands of mysterious earthquakes hit Santorini. Scientists finally know why.
During the quakes, researchers were able to track dangerous magma in real time.

Most people I know got their grants on second submission. This new policy is bonkers and helps no one.
Really disappointing new policy from NERC banning resubmissions of grant applications
Many of us, including me, have won grants on resubmission,
using the reviews to improve the application
This is is neither fair nor productive

Really enjoying the “surveying oceanic volcanism & volcanic island geohazards” session at @iavcei.bsky.social 2025. Great talks and lots of fascinating work on volcanic tsunamis. Looking forward to the second half this afternoon.

Great talk by @sofiadellasala.bsky.social looking at hydrothermal records at Santorini in the @iavceisubmarine.bsky.social session. Convincing evidence of vigorous hydrothermal activity in the past preceding eruptions and a great demonstration of why we should look at hydrothermal records.
