Time for another boat-based field season in the Aleutian Islands (Alaska). Hopefully enough ginger to handle the Bering Sea… 🌋🚣‍♀️🤢 #fieldwork #tastefulgeology

“An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field” - Niels Bohr. Keep on truckin, science friends!

New position announcement! 📢 The U.S. Geological Survey Volcano Science Center USGS Volcanoes🌋 seeks to hire two recent college graduates to contribute to daily and weekly global volcanic activity reports. One of the positions will be based at the Cascades Volcano Observatory in

Oh man, if this existed in my childhood, I’d have become a volcanologist at least a decade earlier in life! USGS Volcanoes🌋 @LoowitWA

Congratulations @mjmuth for another valuable paper in understanding the behavior of magmatic #sulfur! My phone decided to really highlight the importance of oxygen to this story 😂

This short video shows thermal camera footage of the onset of the #MaunaLoa eruption from the volcano's summit. The temperature in degrees C is shown by the colored scale bar on the right. For additional information visit: usgs.gov/volcanoes/maun… #MaunaLoaErupts

Nice two-phase fluid inclusion in this Sierra Nevada sample! #TastefulGeology #FluidInclusion

Change is a given -- especially at volcanoes. The passage of just over three weeks saw fire change to ice at the summit of Mauna Loa! As the calendar changes from 2022 to 2023, USGSVolcanoes wishes everyone a happy and healthy new year!

Low-temp columnar basalt!

The perfect gift doesn't exi- 😍

Termite-hosted fluid inclusion! 🤯

In under 5 years, #Kilauea's summit has had: 2018 - A caldera collapse and large rift zone eruption '19 - A freshwater lake 2020 - An eruption inside Halema'uma'u that boils away the water lake '21-2022 - An eruption that lasts over a year... '23 - & another eruption #Hawaii

Such a fun idea! I know quite a few geology departments and volcano observatories with overflowing scrap rock piles of that could really delight some kids…

It’s just wonderful how the scientific community prioritizes data-poor, highly speculative papers in selection for “high impact” journals 😒 #academia #geology

Finally, a useful application of my melt inclusion polishing skills

New gas geochemistry instrumentation is installed at Merapi Volcano in Indonesia this week. Another example of great team work and coordination that has been the hallmark of many decades of shared work of BPPTKG, CVGHM and USAID-USGS VDAP.

Trying to get a permanent federal research position

The near-summit fumaroles are a smelly reminder that #MtHood is indeed an active volcano! Active, but not too active… USGS Volcanoes🌋 is keeping a close watch on any possible changes there. PS. Thanks Prof. Simon Carn for assisting us in the field!
