Cool blog post by @smakris.bsky.social on a super collaborative project to learn more about eruptions and pyroclastic density currents at Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala. Was great to join in the field--now looking forward to helping with paleomagnetic analyses soon!

Back from fieldwork in Guatemala looking at PDC deposits from Fuego for our @ukri.org project exploring generation mechanisms. We had a great time in the field as a team bringing together many skills and experiences. Excited to continue working on this also with those who weren’t in the field!

@smakris.bsky.social and I will present tomorrow as part of the @vmsg.bsky.social 60th Anniversary series. I'll give an overview of the @gcrf-ixchel.bsky.social project and some work at Fuego #volcano, and Symeon will discuss perched tephra piles and granular flows.
