A wonderful week of #fieldwork in La Palma 🌋
Back at home after an incredible week of #fieldwork in La Palma #LaIslaBonita! All lava flows, basalts, phonolites, enclaves of all flavours... learning a lot with the best company, @falladamente.bsky.social @albertocaracciolo.bsky.social and Álvaro! Y mucho #barraquito... ⚒️ 🌋

The typeset version of the 2022-2023 Fagradalsfjall paper is out, so let’s go over the main points of the paper 🌋
Mush Disaggregation and Dike Propagation Timescales at Active Volcanoes: Evidence from the 2022–2023 Fagradalsfjall Eruptions
Abstract. The architectures of magma plumbing systems and timescales of magmatic processes are fundamental to understanding volcanic eruption dynamics. Thi

🚨🌋New paper on the geochemistry and petrology of the 2022–23 Fagradalsfjall eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. We study temporal variations in the magmatic plumbing system and link diffusion timescales to monitoring signals, tracing the timing of mush disaggregation and dike propagation

Leaving Iceland for now, along with the Reykjanes eruptions! However, I am happy to share that I have started a postdoc at the University of Perugia, working with Maurizio Petrelli and collaborators on the 2021 La Palma eruption 🌋

This photo shows the November 2024 eruption at Sundhnúksgígar after a day of activity, when most lava flowed west. White smoke comes from the Svartsengi geothermal power plant, and black smoke from the burning Blue Lagoon parking lot. The barriers are doing a great job protecting the infrastructure
