Excellent photo essay from Alessandro Gandolfi in today's @theguardian.com from Italy's Phlegraean Fields (Campi Flegrei), where ground movements, seismic swarms, and fumaroles are a part of life at a restless, active #volcano www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Fun and sunny field day looking at the Falls Foot #landslide in North Yorkshire, as our students prepare to write a technical report on its characteristics and likely triggers. Another great field site close to #Lancaster university!

The #LancasterUniversity educational philosophy states that "Education is at the heart of global change for the better". I'm proud of our graduating students brave enough to unfurl banners calling for an end to genocide, and to question ongoing University association with BAE systems, who arm it 👏🏼

Excited to get a sneak preview of the spectacular textures in samples of lava and pumice from the ~877AD Hrafntinnuhraun eruption, #Iceland, from David Zhang (LEC PhD student). Rhyolite-basalt magma mixing, sintering, fracture and healing, and more...

Great audience in the Lancaster Environment Centre for Joe Roman (joeroman.com) explaining role of birds and seals in fertilizing the new volcanic island of Surtsey, and plugging his book Eat Poop Die. @lec-reefs.bsky.social

New study from @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social and team examines how crystal-rich magmas deform: a combination of viscous flow and fracture on different spatial scales. Especially relevant to lava dome emplacement. Bravo!

Just finished In Ascension by Martin MacInnes: tinyurl.com/inascension. What a remarkable piece of writing...weaving together #ecology, #technology, #climate catastrophe, and the (dis)connect between humans and #nature, and humans and each other. A must-read for all social and physical scientists!

A pleasure to read the classic Magnús Tumí Gudmundsson paper on volcano-ice interaction in the 1996 Gjálp eruption (www.nature.com/articles/40122) with our #glaciology students. Head twister: warm meltwater drained uphill beneath Vatnajökull! Pic: Magnús, me, Hannah Reynolds (ex-LEC Volcanology MSc)

It's not too early to reflect how the outline of lava flow fields in any future geological maps will record how public money protected the profits of a private company #anthropocene #capitalism #volcanology @andrimagnason.bsky.social

I'm sorry but 1.5c is dead. It's over. Climate politics today is about mitigating runaway heating and ecological decline, while those with the levers of power -states and capital- push on the accelerator. This is why we must build new forms of popular power. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/a...

Hello bluesky community! I'm fleeing from the fanatical billionaire fascism of Musk. It's great to see many friends and colleagues on here already. Any tips for volcanology/environment accounts to follow would be much appreciated.
