Max hourly mean of SO2 reached 1400 ug/m3 during Holuhraun and over 1900 this morning. The current eruption is tiny compared to Holuhraun but much closer to urban areas.

The current #eruption on Reykjanes is causing remarkable #airpollution in urban areas. SO2 in Reykjavík has exceeded that measured during the large eruption of Holuhraun in 2014. Picture of the volcanic pollution from my window 🧵

#Eruption nr 9 in the Reykjanes-Svartsengi system started on 16 July. The plume of SO2 and fine particulates is causing #airpollution in North and North West Iceland, which is a bit unusual. Also it's reaching the East coast of Greenland today! Image credit #Iceland Met Office

I didn't get a spot on the #IAVCEI2025 CERN tour so instead did other things Swiss. Hilly bike ride with stunning views of the alps followed by floating far far down the Rhône with my stuff in a dry bag

Please come to my talk at 11:15 in R380. If social media + eruptions weren't exciting enough, this room also has excellent A/C #IAVCEI2025

Hello #IAVCEI2025! Temperatures are approaching that of a lava flow - a fan was a genius idea

I treated myself with a day in the Lake District to celebrate end of teaching term. I did the scrambly climb up Great Gable and the weather was an absolute dream, no wind whatsoever and clear skies. What a treat!

It's now been a year since the evacuation of Grindavik when a huge magma intrusion pushed its way underneath the town. My colleague Ragnar Heiðar Þrastarson at the Icelandic volcano observatory (IMO) shared a powerful memory of that day 🧵1/n

Very cool paper hot off the press in Science on the Reykjanes eruptions 2023-2024. They might seem very similar at first glance but they are tapping different magma lenses www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
