We tried compiling a global database of deposit descriptions of pyroclastic density current deposits. The aim was to help us do big data analysis, look for common trends, and to support modelling.

We got some interesting results but also, found some really significant issues and gaps #IAVCEI2025

What happens when a dense, aerated granular flow encounters a vertical barrier? What night these mean for the behaviours of pyroclastic density currents? Check out Jordan Chenery's poster at #IAVCEI2025

New article 🚨 “Forever but not everywhere? Unexpected non-detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers” led by Patrick Byrne at LJM and from our NERC PAMANA project looking at mine legacy in the Philippines. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Forever but not everywhere? Unexpected non‐detection of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers
No PFAS were detected in major Philippines rivers despite reported increases in the Asia-Pacific Region. Sampling programmes typically focus on populated regions and a small number of compounds so ma...

🚨 all EGU journals have cancelled their Twitter/X feeds 👏👏 But for reasons beyond me have decided not to engage with BlueSky 🤷 - if you’d like a BlueSky presence for your favourite EGU journal - I’d suggest getting in touch with @eurogeosciences.bsky.social (or liking this message?) pls RT 😀👏

Happy to share that my paper on the hydrological dynamism of oxbow lakes is now out to read - part one of a project that started during lockdown 1.0 and came to fruition through my @leverhulme.bsky.social ECR fellowship 😁

Establishing the Hydrological Controls on Water Surface Area Variations in Oxbow Lakes
After their formation, oxbow lakes are considered to passively infill with limited hydrodynamic dynamism. Results from 64 oxbow lakes in the Bolivian Amazon Basin demonstrate that the water surface a...
