Had the pleasure of presenting at GiG 2025 today! What a lovely little full circle moment - heading back to my undergraduate university to give a talk.
Thanks for organising @girlsingeosci.bsky.social and well done to all the other women who did awesome talks and workshops!
Very inspiring stuff🌋

I had the pleasure of presenting at BGS Edinburgh today! I spoke about my PhD work as well as the postdoc work I’ve been doing. Thank you to those that attended and the invitation to present 🌋

I had the pleasure of attending the GeoHab 2025 conference in Key West.
It was an amazing conference to be introduced into the wonderful diversity and science of geology/biology/habitat interactions.
Thanks to the amazing organisers and presenters who made it epic!

This suggests that “wet” ash layers are more likely to be preserved in ignimbrite successions than dry ones. This has important implications for flow unit interpretations and, therefore, assessments of eruption frequency.
This was such a fun paper to work on – thanks to everyone involved! (4/)

We identified different behaviours of these ash layers associated with their apparent moisture contents. In low (1 wt.%) and high (>15 wt.%) moisture conditions, yield strength increases, and we even see evidence of shear thickening! (3/)

Here we completed field work in Tenerife, looking at ash layers and evidence of moisture (by the presence of ash aggregates). This was then followed up by a suite of experimental studies completed at the University of Leeds and University of Hull to explore the behaviours seen.(2/)

This week I started as a postdoctoral researcher at Kelpie Geoscience Ltd in Edinburgh. I’m feeling very grateful for what I’m doing and having a volcano beer, looking over an old volcano, after a week of looking at volcanic rocks. Amazing. 🌋

@volcanologist.bsky.social do you want to add this to the particle size methodologies? 🤣

Old-school graffiti in Cathedrals makes me very happy! These are a few from Winchester.
They could be real or could be fake - I’m not sure! I like to think someone was bored during reading/writing and decided to secretly scratch their names in the walls/benches

I successfully defended my viva yesterday!
Thank you to Rob Thomas, Hugh Tuffen and Charlotte Hopkins for a positive and supportive experience.
And obviously thank you to my amazing supervisory team 🥰🌋

These are oyster shells that washed up post-storm on the Solent (Southern England, U.K.)
The oysters have attached to and grown around these pebbles. Why is this? Do they attach to a pebble in a muddy substrate as something to hold on to?
What do you think?

To update everyone - I have now submitted my PhD (and I’m actively looking for postdoc positions!) 🌋
I’ve had the most amazing few years - thank you to all my amazing supervisors who have supported my work

They’ve stopped security moving through as the departure lounge is too busy. But, more importantly, they are no longer serving booze… it’s going to be a long day #airtrafficcontrol 🙃

Outside of volcanoes I sometimes do the occasional slow plod. This was my first marathon - it was extremely hilly and difficult (but I can’t wait to do another one!)
Now back to volcanoes as I fly to Napoli 🌋

How does moisture influence volcanic material I hear you ask? Are there any implications for gas escape structures or secondary eruptions in deposits?!
