How do fractures in volcanoes control where magma goes?? 🤷‍♂️🌋 This is one of the main objectives of our study at Axial Volcano! CHECK OUT THE POST BELOW ⬇️ to find out more!

The back (stern) of the ship is where the magic (science) happens! 📊 These are the seismic and OBS decks where all of our equipment is physically deployed from! Theres 10s miles of cables in there!

And that's the end of our 3D seismic grid!! 🙆‍♀️🙂 Time to switch over to our 2D setup and collect MORE data on this deep-sea volcano! #Axial3D #Expedition #seismic #volcano #NSFfunded #scienceatsea LDEO LDEO University of Texas Institute for Geophysics U.S. National Science Foundation_GEO @NSF

So let's kick things off with a fact! DID YOU KNOW that over 70% of global volcanic activity happens at the bottom of the oceans?! And yet most of this activity goes completely unnoticed! #didyouknow #fact #science #volcano #deepsea @volcano_grad

So where do we FIND deep-sea volcanoes? In a number of places actually! Most activity is estimated to occur on mid ocean ridges (e.g. through the Mid Atlantic), but it also happens at hotspots (e.g. Hawai'i, Galapagos), along arcs (e.g. S of Japan, Tonga, Marianas, Aluetians)...

This is not a drill! A position with the Global Volcanism Program is open! Come work with us in D.C.! I repeat, this is not a drill 😃🌋 Read the thread and job posting for more info:

I want to find out how you fell in love with science! 💕 Were you tiny 👶 or a teenager 🧍🏽‍♀️? Was it through school 🏫 or books 📚 or people 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿? Did you fall for chemistry 🧪 or astrology 🔭 or something else entirely? Tell me your stories! #STEM #ScienceStories #science

For her significant contributions to our understanding of volcanoes, Rebecca Carey receives the Dorothy Hill Medal for #EarthScience research. She studies eruption and hydrothermal processes on the land and on the sea floor. #Honorifics20 University of Tasmania

Australian Academy of Science University of Tasmania Honoured to be awarded the Dorothy Hill Medal. Marine Science of whatever flavour is always a group effort, so sincere thanks to all my colleagues, students, mentors, ship technicians and facilitators who make transformational science happen!!! Havre Volcano Science #Honorifics20

Congratulations #NYSFoz 1997 Alumna Rebecca Carey who has received the Dorothy Hill Medal for her significant contribution to volcanology and #EarthScience research. Dr Carey says her life as a volcanologist at University of Tasmania is one of constant learning. #Honorifics20 Havre Volcano Science

Well, working from home + kids off school for a while so fieldwork is definitely off the table for the foreseeable future - time to live vicariously & think of better times via #7DaysOfFieldwork😀

For my 2nd crack at #7DaysOfFieldwork I'll focus on meteorite impact craters & #ImpactEarth, our research & #outreach initiative impactearth.com. First crater of the week: Haughton #Nunavut🇨🇦the 1st crater I visited for my PhD. 23 km diam, 23 Myr old Impact Earth

Today is the unofficial #InternationalDayOfVolcanoes. If you could safely spend a day on any volcano (in a pretend world with no COVID or travel fees) where would you go? Pretty pics encouraged! Mine: Ngauruhoe/Tongariro. Home ❤️

BOO! Its Halloween AND our latest paper is out! So let's talk about pumice rafts and why pumices sink or float (a 🧵). You can check out our open access paper here for more detail. Work alongside Dr. Kristen Fauria Rebecca Carey @UH_EarthScience Havre Volcano Science link.springer.com/article/10.100…

To answer this, we looked at pumices from the 2012 eruption of Havre submarine volcano, NZ. We took pumices from the seafloor and pumices from a pumice raft that transported clasts all across the SW Pacific, washing up pumice over a year after eruption. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

More details can be found in the paper, and we still have MANY questions in answer in future work! But for now... here's a portion of a giant pumice block (~1 meter across) recovered from the seafloor 1000m down... We named it Precious. Havre Volcano Science
