It's #WorldPenguinDay! These beautiful King penguins may be thriving in the protected waters of #SouthGeorgia but more than half of penguin species are #endangered or at risk in the face of #climatechange and #overfishing (World Wildlife Fund). We cannot lose these incredible birds.

Congratulations to this superstar, the new Dr Kate Laxton! It's been a pleasure and a privilege to work with Kate on #OlDoinyoLengai and I was extremely proud to see her out of her #PhD viva today. A huge thank you also to David Pyle and Hilary Downes for examining her thesis!

Turns out 100 km is a really long way. At every checkpoint I promised myself that was far enough but somehow always shuffled out 10 mins later. I had a little cry running over Beachy Head, I was so happy I hadn’t stopped. Amazing to see Adam Cotterill at 72 km! #SouthDownsUltra

🚨Job opportunity to join me, Emma Nicholson (Liu) and our team CPOM EarthSciences UCL for up to 3 years as a Research Fellow in Remote Sensing of Sea Ice for Safe Travel in Inuit Nunangat Sikuttiaq. Deadline June 27th. jobs.ac.uk/job/CQA969/res…

Prince Rupert’s Drops are glass beads with unusual (and explosive!) material properties. We show that heterogeneous internal stresses control the size and shape distribution of fragments & discuss implications for magma fragmentation during hydrovolcanism pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A cinematic #fieldtrip for the volcanology group EarthSciences UCL this evening, sharing a humbling and truly inspirational film #FireofLove with a group of talented, volcano-loving researchers!

We’re so delighted that ABOVE, a film following our drone-based volcanic gas research in Papua New Guinea produced by the talented Zach Voss, has been chosen as a finalist amongst such a diverse selection of incredible films. Check them all out and vote for your favourite! ⬇️

All Things #SeaIce! eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-polar… From the London #Polar Group. Fri 23 Sep, 1730-1900 UK time, in-person, location at the link. With Michel Tsamados Emma Nicholson (Liu) julienne stroeve and film director Georges Tombs. UK Polar Network Polar Research and Policy Initiative (PRPI) @UCLIRDR #Arctic #PolarResearch

🌋 What did drive the recent unrest at #vulcano island? According to this new work in Communications Earth & Environment, heightened sulphur dioxide flux during fall 2021 is sourced by degassing of volatile-rich mafic magma. Well done Sandro Aiuppa 👏🏻 👉🏼 rdcu.be/cYw7C

One advantage of developing a small networked gas monitoring system, was that I could bring it along as a live demo while presenting my poster at #iavcei2023. The CO2 measurements were being sent via satellite to my email, so I thought I'd plot the results😆

Incredibly surreal to have a short article on our recent fieldwork released today in National Geographic. This expedition was 100% a career highlight for me and the experience will stay with me forever. More coverage to come later this year! nationalgeographic.com/magazine/artic… via @NatGeoMag

We have three (3!) awards currently open for nominations: the Thermo-Fisher Award, Zeiss Postdoctoral Keynote and Willy Aspinall Prize. If you can think of outstanding colleagues, mentors, or peers, please consider nominating them. More details here: vmsg.org.uk/awards/

Our paper on gas emissions from Bagana volcano is out! We present measurements of gas chemistry and SO2 & CO2 fluxes from this remote and little studied volcano. We used drones to carry our sensors into the summit gas plume alongside ground- and satellite-based remote sensing. 1/

We also review our capability (and open challenges) of using drones to reach inaccessible volcanic summits, particularly flying beyond visual line of sight. Our drones flew 8 km laterally and 1800 m vertically to reach their target passing within 50 m of the summit fumaroles. 4/

We discuss monitoring & risk mitigation. At Bagana, community resilience is born of deep knowledge of the volcano and its hazards. Deeply grateful to the Wakovi community for hosting us & sharing their knowledge. Also huge thanks to our partners at Rabaul Volcano Observatory. 5/

Delighted, nervous, and a little emotional sharing this National Geographic story with friends and colleagues at EarthSciences UCL. I was incredibly touched to see such a packed room, thank you so much for a wonderful evening everyone ❤️

Here is a new paper on CO2 emissions from the 2021 eruption of Tajogaite, La Palma, Canary Islands, and implications for CO2 emissions during construction of the archipelago. We found a remarkable 4.5 wt% CO2 in the magma powering the 2021 eruption. link.springer.com/article/10.103…
