Mush Disaggregation and Dike Propagation Timescales at Active Volcanoes: Evidence from the 2022–2023 Fagradalsfjall Eruptions Abstract. The architectures of magma plumbing systems and timescales of magmatic processes are fundamental to understanding volcanic eruption dynamics. Thi

The typeset version of the 2022-2023 Fagradalsfjall paper is out, so let’s go over the main points of the paper 🌋

Quantitative and computational methods in igneous geochemistry Computational geochemical modeling is used to explore problems related to every aspect of magmatism, from magma generation and transport in the mantle and crust, to magma evolution and emplacement in ...

Do you do any interesting geochemical modeling related to igneous, magmatic, and volcanic systems? Consider submitting an abstract to our Goldschmidt 2024 session!! ⚒️

Time to start thinking about Goldschmidt in Chicago in August!! We have a session all about modeling of everything igneous, magmatic, and volcanic: conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/...

This is a great summary of the developments so far, and what we might expect an eruption to look like.

Latest updates from IMO... Magma continues to flow into the dyke. SO2 gas has been detected in Grindavík, suggesting magmatic degassing somewhat close to the surface. Still impossible to say when (or if) an eruption will happen, but the likelihood remains high. www.vedur.is/um-vi/fretti...

The best source for updates about the potential volcanic activity is the Icelandic Met Office (vedur.is ). If there’s any new data, or other updates, information will be posted there.

Letter to Secretary of State re EDI in science Online survey BOS

✉️ Some science 🧪 buddies and I have written an open letter to the UK government, strongly opposing their “kicking woke ideology out of science” sentiments, which stand to damage the UK’s scientific standing and ability to deliver for public good.
