How it started vs how it ended Tour de France™

Great to present @goldschmidt2023 this morning as part of a trio of Cambridge Earth Sciences 0830 talks!

Our #REEDRILL ICDP workshop at the beautiful Sunbird Kuchawe Hotel in #Malawi , supported by Mkango Resources #MKA, is in full swing. Really interesting talks and discussions on #scientificdrilling #RareEarths , #groundwater and #microbiology .

Lavas reveal the life story of the Galápagos mantle plume. New research by our Dr Carrie Soderman, with Helen Williams, Oliver Shorttle & @simonwmatthews 🌎🌋

Using Fe isotopes, they show how the ingredients making up the plume have changed over its lifetime.

A small fraction of recycled crust, possibly from the lower mantle, has consistently carried through the #Galapagos mantle plume for 90 million years, according to a new #geology study. scim.ag/1Rc

My final thesis chapter has been published - a very satisfying conclusion to my PhD👇🏻🌋 We use Fe isotopes to look at lithological heterogeneity over the evolution of the Galápagos mantle plume 🌎

Thank you for this award The Geochemistry Group👇🏻🌍 - this paper showcases some of the work that I’m most proud of from my PhD and I’m thrilled that others think it’s interesting too!

👇🏻🌋 Ready for volcano outreach day Natural History Museum!

It has been a very fun 4 years 🎉🌋 #phdone

Our new fellows were installed in a traditional ceremony in the college chapel last night. Welcome to Zeina Al Azmeh, Leo Impett, Ernesto Vargas Weil, Carrie Soderman, Arabella Milbank Robinson & honorary fellow David Dabydeen.

Two contrasting days of weather @sedbergh2022 Cambridge Earth Sciences ☔️☀️

I suppose this is the time to share that I’ll be joining Selwyn College as a research fellow in October! St John's College, Cambridge has been a wonderful Cambridge home, and I’m grateful for my 8 years there, but I’m very excited to meet new colleagues and students at Selwyn 🌋🌎 #nearlypostdoclife

Term is just around the corner and as autumn beckons, you might be wondering what happened to a summer of fun research and conferences 🍂🏖️

On our blog: Alasdair Knight takes us to Hawaii for a reminder of July’s #Goldschmidt2022 conference.

Caer Caradoc and Shropshire looking gorgeous with the incoming second years Cambridge Earth Sciences, working on field sketching and taking in some wonderful views #nearlypostdoclife

Thesis submitted! What a 4 year adventure. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this (too many to list right now) 🌋 Just a viva to go…

Newest rock doctor at Cambridge Earth Sciences 👇🏻 So pleased for you 🌋🎉

The end of an era for our office Ayesha Landon-Browne! Congratulations Nicholas Barber🌋, you have been the best PhD buddy and the department has been lucky to have you.

What a great way to finish up a PhD @goldschmidt2022 - thank you to co-authors Helen Williams @simonwmatthews Oliver Shorttle, as well as Dennis Geist and Esteban Gazel. Watch this space for the publication of the full story (hopefully) soon!

👇🏻Very excited to finally be amongst the products of one mantle plume system, Hawai’i, to talk about stable Fe isotopes in another, the Galápagos - and to listen to Olivia Hogg smash her first in/person international conference 🌋🌎
