Interested in volcano deformation? Or magma mush dynamics? Or even both?! Then check out my #AGU24 @agu.org poster below, or in person at V43D-3227 this afternoon. ๐ŸŒ‹ ๐Ÿงช โš’๏ธ

In case no one told you: @agu.org session numbers actually mean something! First letter(s) = Discipline First number = Day (1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, etc.) Second number = Timeslot (1, 2 = morning; 3, 4 = afternoon; 5 = evening) Last letter = Concurrent session

Taking a moment to highlight some AWESOME work from a group of 2nd year @uniofexeter.bsky.social Earth & Environmental Sciences students on my #geophysics module.
