Didn't quite understand what I was getting when I ordered the Vulcano pizza 😅.
Think I've hit my pizza dough quota for awhile

Fieldwork finished, was a good one!
Now we patiently wait to see if the boats will resume; Aeolien islands living up to their name.

Just about finishing up on Panarea island, over two hundred short-term nodal deployments towards mapping hydrothermal alteration, with @jonaspaetzel.bsky.social and Adrian Thorn.

Having Stromboli as an 'office' view for the past few days has been quite something! A couple more days of fieldwork planned, then a cheeky trip to the volcano for a bit of tourism ;)

Definitely a bunch of fieldwork left unshared during the past year, but this can change ;)
Currently undertaking fieldwork in Panarea, Italy, with scientists from Brussels, Ghent, and Namur, to map zones of hydrothermal alteration. Worse places to be in October 😎.

fyi, lots of people experiencing issues with waiting room infinite loop (myself included).
On Twitter (X), they are saying to email them with User ID and Session to ensure you can submit (i am assuming this will be after the deadline now, but email acting as proof of intention). Example below.

On the same day that i graduated from my first degree eleven years ago, i defended my PhD 🙂. Thanks to FB for letting me know of that little coincidence.
And thanks to this great team 👌👌 (sorry Co, there isnt one photo where at least one of us isnt looking the wrong way 😅).
On to 🇧🇪 for a Post-doc.

Haven't seen this posted on here yet, but saw this in a twitter post (map.is), a nice free tool that can be used to view recent IMO earthquake locations. Here's the activity in the last 6 hours (for example).
Just bringing it here as I'm trying to avoid using twitter (X) if i can!

First Bourget-du-Lac photo on bluesky 😎. Perhaps a few weeks more of reasonable swimming temperatures (depending who you ask 😄).

PhD is in 😎. To celebrate, here's a first look at some data from the thesis.
Plot shows my approximate working hours through the month of September 😅 (from a focus app Forest).
Definitely time to rediscover a normal life.
