‘Heroes in the fire’ is a short film telling the story of local fire brigades risking their lives to tackle wildfires in the Amazon rainforest. Our own Professor Jos Barlow (@JosBarlow) commissioned the film after seeing the brigades during research trips studying the forest.

🚨 I published a paper today! 🚨 We found unambiguous evidence for the formation of silicic lava by pyroclast sintering. Go have a read here: nature.com/articles/s4146… Thanks 🌋 team! Dr Fabian Wadsworth Hugh Tuffen @hollyeunwin & Madeleine Humphreys Nature Communications

New paper led by @Volcannabelle uses microtextures & volatiles in #obsidian from #Krafla, #Iceland to reveal how silicic lava is produced (from pyroclasts) and how silicic fissure eruptions focus. Congrats to the team inc Dr Fabian Wadsworth and @hollyeunwin, & thanks @landsvirkjun!

It is very unlikely that the eruption will reach any infrastructure now 👍 but it has ignited extensive wildfires. The burning moss is thick and lush and it's a very sad sight #Reykjanes #Grindavik #volcano

IAVCEI is saddened to learn that Hans-Ulrich Schmincke passed away on 24/08/24 at the age of 86. He was SG of IAVCEI between 1983-1991, and awarded the Thorarinsson medal in 1993. During his mandate, he revamped the publication model of BV, a legacy that we profit from today

Fantastic initiative from CumbriaWildlifeTrust, at Skiddaw in Cumbria, could restore Atlantic rainforest and peatland, creating the highest nature reserve in England. Please support and share widely!

New paper! These authors look at the shape of volcanic domes and spines globally including how shape evolves with time during emplacement. doi.org/10.30909/vol.0…

In August 2024, I recorded 65 fatal landslides around the world, which claimed 414 lives. The total number of fatal landslides in 2024 continues to exceed any previous year by a significant margin, probably reflecting high global atmospheric temperatures. eos.org/thelandslidebl…

Hands down the best #northernlights #Auroraborealis I've ever seen from the UK - this was #Lancaster just after midnight

Important new paper from scientists and critical thinkers Andy Jarvis (Lancaster Environment Centre) and Piers Forster challenges us to recalibrate anthropogenic climate warming at a new preindustrial baseline and recognise we're already at 1.5C. Emphasises need for urgent climate action!

Heading to #IAVCEI2025 next year? We have a great session on Open Volcanology! If you're into open data, open source software, OA publishing, or otherwise engaged in making resaarch, data, and results transparent and accessible, we'd love to receive your abstracts! 🔓🌋

Over on #BlueSky I'm posting about our fantastic Lancaster University #Volcanology #Masters students graduating and more bsky.app/profile/htuffe…

Super proud of my son Alec (no. 11, right) and all the Dallam School U16 boys football team for winning the Cumbria County Cup today 💥👏🏼⚽
