New Publication in Geology: Implications of unexpectedly young seafloor in the Challenger Deep
Excited to share our latest work on the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on Earth (~10.9 km) located in the Mariana Trench. doi.org/10.1130/G537...

Excited to share my new open-access paper looking at magma storage depths for these beautiful xenoliths from Mauna Loa Volcano. doi.org/10.1007/s004... 🧵below, TLDR - previous suggestions of ~20 km deep Opx crystallization are inconstant with fluid inclusion depths and thermodynamic modelling.

Interested in applying Raman spectroscopy to analyse CO2 geofluids (in melt or fluid inclusions)? Check out our new preprint looking at analytical best practices - how do you get the best accuracy and precision out of your Raman system, and common traps to fall into.

VIBE lab group paddleboard/kayak outing to say goodbye to the wonderful @cljdevitre.bsky.social, the very first member of my lab group, who is starting as an Assistant Professor at UOttowa in Sept after nearly 3 years of fab fluid inclusion postdoc work🎉.

Congratulations to Raela and Saskia🌋
This week we celebrated the graduation of Raela and Saskia, two of our wonderful undergrads from the VIBE lab. Post talk lawn games of petanque with icelollies, both words invoking snickers from the group (apparently not called that in this country!). #ProudPI #TheyGrowUpSoFast #BestPartOfTheJob

“Forty-plus years of scientific ocean drilling, science that shaped and molded our understanding of the Earth through time, was coming to a cold hard end at 79°N.”
The JOIDES Resolution has long been an essential fixture of ocean drilling and science. As the JR went on its final expeditions, @eos.org spoke to some early-career researchers who sailed on those voyages, including our Alum Dr. Nicole Greco @greco-glacial.bsky.social.

Deep-sea life is still recovering from mining activity 40 years ago
The site of a deep-sea mining test in 1979 had lower levels of biodiversity when researchers revisited it in 2023 compared with undisturbed areas nearby

On Tuesday (28th, 4 PM) EST I am running a 'skill building' session for the CONVERSE webinar series all about thermobarometry! Not too late to sign up, please just DM me and i'll send you the google sign up sheet!
Some new fancy features to show off (e.g. functions to calculate all equations)

⚒️ Can we measure magma storage depths fast enough to support volcanic observatories during ongoing eruptions? In our new JPET paper, we teamed up with HVO to simulate real-time rapid-response CO2 fluid inclusion barometry at Kīlauea, HI. We got depths in 1 day! How? Read on! (1/5)

🔔Pleased to report a new paper for my first Bluesky post! We used CO₂ rich fluid inclusions in very near-real-time at Kīlauea and obtained magma storage depths within 1 day of sample receipt 🌋 Interested in applying it to another volcano? Take a look! academic.oup.com/petrology/ad...
