🧪 Amazing 2-vent lava fountaining yesterday at #Kilauea #volcano. #USGS reports Episode 12 of the ongoing summit #eruption in Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park ended at 10:37 a.m. HST on March 5, after 22 hours of activity. Original NPS video at: x.com/i/status/189...

🧪🌋⚒️ Pele's Hair, a delicate volcanic eruption product, is the topic of a recent Physics World podcast with myself & Prof. Tamsin Mather. My parts are the 1st 5 min, and 20:00 mark on. I also discuss Volcanoes in Hawaiian culture and exploring submarine volcanism. 👂at physicsworld.com/a/threads-of...

🧪⚒️🌋 180 m (600-foot) high lava fountains from the last day-long pulse ("episode 11") of the ongoing #eruption of #Kilauea #volcano, Hawaii, 26 Feb 2025, brought to you by the good folks at #USGS , who for now, still appear to be employed. I guess even 🐛🐛🐛 like volcanoes. Video source in Alt text.

🧪 Here's some fun #science for #FossilFriday after a long, tough week for USA scientists: Fossilized coral fragments incorporated into a tuff deposit at Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii from a past #volcanic #eruption through an offshore reef, with former Big Wave #surfer & #oceanographer Ricky Grigg ⚒️🌊

🧪 Fun night on R/V Atlantis putting red lights on DSV Alvin 4 next-day physiological experiment at Earth's deepest known submarine Hydrothermal vents, during 1st science dives after major vehicle upgrade, & a collage of resulting seabed shots. eos.org/science-upda... 🌊 #WHOI #URIGSO #NSF #ONR #NOAA

🧪 @urigso.bsky.social is committed to #sustaiable #ocean #science. Are we going Geothermal? We will see.. Exploratory drilling to assess our resource took place last week. If sufficient we will look to use for our new Ocean Frontiers research lab building, slated to be done in 2027. 🌊🛠

🧪 US public funding supports amazing science. Here are 4 ~100 million yr old deep ocean crust rocks exposed in the Puerto Rico trench North Wall, formed at the Mid Atlantic Ridge nearly 7000 km away & slowly rafted by Plate Tectonics to this site. Collected with DSV Alvin, 2022; more in ALT text ⚒️🌊

🧪 I am enticing with this image, but have something serious to say: I am saddened for USA & our much-valued federal agency science partners that 🍑🤡🤡🤡 &🐛with small ❤️, smaller 🧠, & even smaller 🍆are indiscriminately ✂️🪚🔪what we do, how we do it, & who is involved. But scientific research will continue.

🧪 more Saturday volcano eye candy: views of episode 9 of ongoing Kilauea eruption from 11 Feb 2025. Lava fountaining is reaching 80-100 feet (25-30 meters) high. Clip from longer Public access #USGS video. (Thank you, US government employees!). see www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/ki... 🌋

🧪 Another "seen that, so share it with others" posts. Glowing hot pyroclasts explode while sea water sucks into the vent, from the world's deepest visually observed volcanic eruption, 4000 ft deep at West Mata 🌋, Tonga, in 2009. #whoi #rov #jason framegrab. Plenty more images in ALT text citation 🌊⚒️

🧪🌊 USA public funded science is critical, & often cool 😎. Here's 4 #deepsea video clips shot at 5-6 km down; see #whoi YouTube channel or our recent @eos.org paper on Upgraded Submersible Alvin youtu.be/9KEVEjQ1Bjs I was on the cam for the Dumbo octopus clip. eos.org/science-upda... #nsffunded

🧪🌊 Readying DSV Alvin for mission deployment to #deepsea includes configuring the front skid for sampling objectives. Here, photos before different geological-biological sampling dives. Observers & pilots sit behind. Note the manipulator arms & suction sampler in both ⚒️ #NSFfunded #ONR #NOAA #WHOI

🧪 Some weekend volcano eye candy. Short USGS video of a small, dynamic part of #Hawaii lava ocean entry at Kaphoho (June 2018) during SERZ #Kilauea #eruption from #LeilaniEstates vents. 1/2 see 2/2 for a map by @urigso.bsky.social & #usgs colleagues from a 2020 study of lava deposited offshore ⚒️ 🌊

🧪 Local/Global #sealevel changes frequently. Last Ice Age #coral reefs, now well deeper than the coral growth zone, illuminate how living reefs once responded (morphology, community structure, growth rate) to rising #sealevel. Images from my 15 yrs of #Hawaii submersible research (see ALT text) ⚒️ 🌊

🧪 Our 2022 discovery of Earth's deepest & 1st known, fresh, #hadal, #submarine #volcanic 🌋 #eruption deposit: a glassy, bubble-rich lava flow at 6100m water depth. Another 1st from our 31-Jan-25 EOS Alvin upgrade article, & a personal favorite dive for me 😃. Funding from #NSF-funded #USONR #NOAA ⚒️🌊
