Completely agree, I've definitely zoned out of quite a lot of talks!

Great! Microsoft and Google autocaptions are awesome but still not perfect. They still struggle with non English or thick regional accents, or when microphones are not working correctly, so a little bit of text is still good to have.

Solid advice here but I disagree with the first point for one reason: accessibility.

Having text as 2 or 3 short bullet points on your slide will help deaf and HoH folks (such as myself) follow your talk as they might not be able to hear you.

What makes Ruapehu tick, and boom episode of Our Changing World podcast It’s been 30 years since a dramatic series of eruptions at Mount Ruapehu. In that time, there have been great advances in monitoring and modelling volcanoes – but we still can’t look inside a volcano ...

If you need something to listen to today, check out the latest episode of Our Changing World where we talk about some experimental work we're currently working on, i.e. a mini-volcano in the lab! 🌋

Two lava fountains at night feeding a flow

Kīlauea episode 35 has arrived. The double fountain shot is from one of the HVO interns, Christina. All are taken from the public viewing areas.

A schematic 'slice' of seismic velocity beneath the geothermal systems north of Taupō. Low velocity anomalies are apparent at 7-12 km depth - which we interpret as representing crystal-rich partial melt.

Using earthquake data we image seismic velocity 'anomalies' at 7-12 km depth beneath geothermal systems, north of Taupō, New Zealand. We interpret the anomalies as representing crystal-rich partial melt – the deep heat sources driving the geothermal systems.

Great to see this new work by Sam Mitchinson published this week! He quantified the uncertainty in expert classification of volcano seismic events, with important implications for ML model accuracy. 🌋

🌋 Excited to share my new essay in Aeon: one of the most underappreciated global risks isn’t an asteroid or supervolcano—it’s the eruptions we don’t see coming:

Snap, crackle and pop!

Love the booming explosions from the summit vent in the background.

The Southeast Crater - youngest and most active of the four summit craters of #Etna - producing Strombolian explosions and a lava flow on the evening of 24 August 2025. The current summit eruption started on 14 August. Photo taken from Nicolosi on Etna's south flank.

#Etna again!!! 🌋🤩

Good morning #IAVCEI2025! I have two presentations for you today. I have a talk about the amazing acoustics of the Hunga eruption at 3.45, followed by a poster on the 2022 unrest episode at Taupō (which inc. a tsunami!) See you there!

The morning sunrise over the lake almost makes up for the lack of volcanoes in Geneva #IAVCEI2025
