Our lab is based at the @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social, University of Oxford. We use #tephra to date sedimentary records and understand more about past explosive eruptions💥

Love it! I would buy the complete set. 😍
Could we also have some lab group #lego sets? @unioxarchaeology.bsky.social @oxfordtephra.bsky.social

(L) The end of my UNIQ+ internship @oxfordtephra.bsky.social in 2022, and (R) two weeks ago in the 2nd year of my PhD (and in the chaos of #StormÉowyn), continuing to analyse tephra from Campi Flegrei. An insightful experience for those considering PhD life! 🔬🌋

And more recently, PhD student @gavrkane.bsky.social gave his conference debut at the @vmsg.bsky.social conference in Dublin 🟩 👏🏻 🧪

Gavin presented glass chemistry that can be used to synchronise eruption records between the Campanian Ignimbrite and NYT 🇮🇹

@danmclean.bsky.social also visited the #LakeSuigetsu Fukui Varve Museum in November to give a guided #tephratastic tour of the layers. 🌋🇯🇵

@danmclean.bsky.social is leading a new project to identify cryptotephra in varved lakes in Central America. She was in Japan last year to carefully sub-sample the LL-channel cores for investigation 🔎🕵🏻‍♀️

We are also excited that Elo Wilkinson-Rowe has started her PhD and will be a new valuable member of the CAVES Project. See more here: caves.web.ox.ac.uk

📸 Here is Elo with fellow PhD Student @gavrkane.bsky.social during our sampling trip at Bremen Core Repository 👍🏻👍🏻

The CAVES Project Team have also been working hard to locate widespread #tephra layers suitable to link archaeological & climate records in NW Africa 🌊🌋🦴

Read more about the opportunities of widespread eruptions from the Azores, Canaries and Cape Verde in their new article: doi.org/10.1017/lis....
