New paper from me!
We had a close look at seismo-acoustic data from all across Aotearoa after the spectacular 2022 eruption of Hunga volcano. We found evidence for rare and weird acoustic phenomena, particularly booming noises triggered by a Lamb wave and an extremely rare Pekeris wave.

🔴⚠️🌋🇮🇸The evolution of the #eruption in #Iceland has slowed down,but lava keeps flowing and it has extended for almost 5km in W direction,reaching the #bluelagoon close to hot water infrastructure. Urgent works are ongoing to protect it. Here the latest #Landsat 9 📸 #Volcano @volcaholic1.bsky.social
