I know it’s not venomous…but can we get a spotlight for my favorite queen :-)? Zopilota o Clelia Clelia (I don’t know its english name). Natural predator of the Bothrops asper!

These are awesome! I was wondering…are you open to special requests? If there are specific volcanoes/color schemes one might be interested in?

It's almost funny how we got the first results in a day, submitted to the first journal in a week and took a year to publish 🤔... But I'm glad it's finally out there!
How fun - I hope it will be an enjoyable read! 😊Thoughts welcome of course.

Thanks Nick! Only took a year to convince a journal... :)

Could this be done elsewhere? H2O mixed with CO2 can affect results, and other volcanoes are not as dry. So, we compiled the proportion of H2O in magmas around the world using >4000 melt inclusions (pockets of magma in crystals). Turns out, it could be useful at many other hazardous volcanoes (5/5)

How we did it: HVO personnel mailed the samples. We started at 9 am PT on the day of sample receipt. By 7 pm PT (5pm HT) fluid inclusions showed the crystals had been stored in the upper reservoir of Kīlauea prior to eruption. 2 subsequent days of additional analyses did not change the results (4/5)

As magma rises, gases like CO2 escape. Crystals growing in the magma trap the bubbles forming FI. If not modified, their CO2 density reflects the system’s pressure at trapping. By measuring many with Raman spectroscopy, we calculate the pressure—and depth— of magma storage before eruption (3/5)

"Where are the magmas coming from?" is a key question for scientists and nearby communities during eruptions. It helps model the system and assess eruption evolution. Faster than traditional geochemical tools, fluid inclusions were promising but hadn’t been tested in real time – until now (2/5).

Please add me! :)

Not sure if there is a list out there formally for Earth Sciences, but here are some I know of: Volcanica, Seismica, Sedimentologika, Geodynamica, The Sedimentary Record, Tektonika, Geomorphica, Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry. You can also try searching the DOAJ website! doaj.org

Beautiful prints and idea for the series! All linoleum? or some other media too?

Please add me too!
