Meet Benjamin De Jarnatt, our ECR of the month!! Originally from the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ, Benjamin left behind the waves of Santa Cruz and now calls Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ home sweet home, where he's diving deep into the world of geosciences. Read his story πŸ‘‡

Productive week of back-to-back seminars at UniversitΓ© de GenΓ¨ve πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ and UniversitΓ© de Lausanne πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­, about the influence of hydrothermal alteration on volcanic hazards πŸŒ‹ and @rottnrock.bsky.social! Lots of interesting science discussions! Thanks to @lucacaricchi.bsky.social and @anungsamsu.bsky.social!

The fluctuating hydrothermal activity at Lastarria follows a systematic pattern, with changes first seen at the summit before spreading to the flanks, as our latest work shows. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @rottnrock.bsky.social

Glad to inform that our new paper about detecting hydrothermal deposits using the GEE platform is out. We even can identify a sulfur flow from space! Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @rottnrock.bsky.social

Drone image at 5800m showing the crater of Lascar volcano, looking north. See the little people in the foreground? That's us.

@rottnrock.bsky.social PI @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social won this year’s VMSG Award! πŸ₯³ Congratulations! @vmsg.bsky.social πŸŒ‹

Small fumarole field at 2707 m on ChillΓ‘n πŸŒ‹πŸ‡¨πŸ‡± does the alteration weaken the rock?

That's Martin and Christian installing a multigas monitoring system at Alitar, a highly variable, hydrothermally alterating and degassing maar-like structure in Chile. @gfz.bsky.social @rottnrock.bsky.social

I see altered rocks! 😍

A view of the packed back of our pickup, with Lastarria's fumarole fields in the background. We have a generator running to charge all the batteries while we continue our survey πŸŒ‹

Interesting sulphur structures form in the fumarole field of Lastarria volcano. Some of the tubes are almost 1 metre long and grow downwind. What would you call them? πŸŒ‹

@trwalter.bsky.social and team are setting up their hyperspectral drone to locate hydrothermal alteration at Lastarria volcano, Chile πŸ‡¨πŸ‡± πŸŒ‹ Look at those rotten rocks! 😍

Some highlights from the recent ROTTnROCK trip to Tenerife! πŸŒ‹ Here’s @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social and @claireharnett.bsky.social in front of Teide volcano! πŸŒ‹

Some rotten rocks from Indonesia have arrived for laboratory testing! How has the alteration influenced their physical properties? πŸŒ‹ @rottnrock.bsky.social

First in-person ROTTnROCK meeting since the project started! We’re at #EGU24 this week, and now are armed with ROTTnROCK stickers! Watch out for those too! πŸŒ‹ @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social @claireharnett.bsky.social

The interiors of some of the bombs collected from PoΓ‘s, Turrialba, and RincΓ³n de la Vieja volcanoes in Costa Rica! πŸŒ‹πŸ‡¨πŸ‡· Snapshots of the hydrothermal seal! We’ll be soon making laboratory measurements! πŸ₯³

Currently breaking altered rocks from Copahue volcano in Argentina πŸŒ‹πŸ‡¦πŸ‡· With Marina Rosas-Carbajal and others we’re interested in assessing the stability of Copahue by combining laboratory and field measurements! πŸ’ͺ

First @rottnrock.bsky.social poster, outlining the project, presented by @claireharnett.bsky.social at @vmsg.bsky.social 2024 in Bristol! Thrilled at the interest in the project! Get in touch for more details! πŸŒ‹ @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social @trwalter.bsky.social

Learn all about our new @rottnrock.bsky.social ERC project, and how you can get involved, in the latest @vmsg.bsky.social newsletter! πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹πŸŒ‹ vmsg.org.uk/2023/12/vmsg... @claireharnett.bsky.social @trwalter.bsky.social

The ROTTnROCK website is live! πŸŒ‹ Still plenty more information to upload, so keep tuned for updates! πŸ‘‡ rottnrock.eu @claireharnett.bsky.social @trwalter.bsky.social @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social

Meet the ROTTnROCK team! πŸŒ‹ Finally, Claire Harnett! Claire, based at University College Dublin, is an expert in the numerical modelling of volcanic environments, with a particular focus on dynamic stability modelling in different volcanic contexts @claireharnett.bsky.social
