Presenting my poster at #COV12 🇬🇹 I explore the formation of an obsidian facies found within a Plinian air fall deposit. It was great to discuss what the contributing processes might be telling us about eruption transitions and glass behaviour! Thanks again to Yorkshire Geological Society !

Day 3 at the eruption in Litli Hrútur, Iceland 🇮🇸🌋 #iceland #eruption

It was Panum Crater Day for our MSci students and another chance to marvel at the myriad textures of ultraproximal, rheomorphic ignimbrites Durham Earth Science Dr Fabian Wadsworth Annabelle Foster Hugh Tuffen

My poster is up in X2 for #EGU23 !! Come along to find out how I use watercolour to improve my outcrop sketching and have a flip through my sketchbook! 🎨🖌️ I'll be there from 16:15-18:00 ⏰ Aberdeen Geology & Geophysics EGU Clare Bond (Prof.)

New paper! 🌋
How does the structure of a silicic volcanic vent change during its evolution? When do tuffisites form? And what role do they play?

Work in progress:
volcanic plumes may be able to scrub up to c.65 mol.% of the SO2 that is erupted in large magnitude events. This is best recorded in leachate data, which invariably records hot sulfate salt formation on ash surfaces, related to SO2 scavenging.

Congratulations to Freya Alldred, current MScR student, and the team behind this new paper about seaweed in island environments!

In Manchester for a week of XCT with Natural Environment Research Council & Kate Dobson… thanks for the tour of the x-ray labs, Dr Elizabeth Evans 🎗️🐷👑! Looking forward to processing some data tomorrow 💪

New paper! Here's our experimentally validated constitutive model for the Darcian and inertial permeabilities of sintered materials. These measurements were completed in 2017. And now, after a long rest in our harddrives, they can see the light of day!

New paper alert! 🚨 Excited to share my first paper presenting my Masters work. It provides a new age scale for an Antarctic ice core which can help regional climate studies. Cambridge Earth Sciences British Antarctic Survey 🐧 MDPI Dorothea E. Moser Daniel Emanuelsson

Work Hard, Play Hard
This week some of our later year PhDs have been on a writing retreat to focus on finishing manuscripts and theses. They've also enjoyed activities provided by Firbush

Beautiful spot for some PhD thesis writing time with the IAPETUS DTP 3rd & 4th years 🗻

A recent sketch of nowhere in particular ⛰️

Silicic magma forms by the assembly and welding of pyroclasts in the shallow vent - Dr Fabian Wadsworth presents his cryptic fragmentation model to a keen assembly of volcanologists at #iavcei2023 Featuring beautiful artwork by Annabelle Foster!

#iavcei2023 come check out my poster on sintered ring fault conduits! …And why we don’t think pseudotachylytes occur along caldera ring faults👀👀

Proud PhD supervisor moment: what a great #vmsg2023 talk from Holly Unwin on tuffisites, with useful insights into their efficiency as outgassing pathways 👍👍 ENVISION Lancaster Environment Centre BGS Volcanology

The low sun sets the Durham Cathedral stone alight every winter afternoon. What a perfect view from our postgraduate office space! 📸 Annabelle Foster

We went bowling! 🎳
The Durham Volcanology team challenged other research groups at Durham Earth Science to a bowl-off.
