Seems like an usual move that would allow the IAVCEI President to hold office for an indefinite period. I’d encourage all IAVCEI members to read carefully and vote in both these polls.

Working on risk? Why not join the Risk KAN steering committee. It's really nice opportunity to work with people all over the world that also care about risk who maybe you might not otherwise engage with. Come and join us!

Ep 138. Are we prepared for global disasters?

New episode of @disordershow.bsky.social interviews our Executive Director, Ruth Richardson, on interconnected risk.

Recorded during our symposium,
@janekinninmont.bsky.social also speaks with the fascinating @laramani14.bsky.social & @catalinajaime.bsky.social.

Thanks to @laramani14.bsky.social, @catalinajaime.bsky.social and Ruth Richardson at @asranetwork.org for speaking to me about their amazing work at the Currents of Change symposium earlier this summer. Lots of useful food for thought for us at @una-uk.bsky.social.

Well done team!!

Last night we brought together risk communicators at the Society for Risk Analysis conference in Stavanger, Norway, to launch a new network, 'Joining Forces'. It aims to bring together the risk comms community working across domains & sectors to build a community and share best practice.

The @riskkan.bsky.social team at the @asranetwork.org symposium on systemic risk in Les Fontaines! @janasillmann.bsky.social & Pia-Johanna Schweizer. Pia & I will be Co-Leads for the new working group on systemic risk, catastrophic risk& polycrisis, & Jana co-leads the WG on climate risk modelling.

Just a note on a small error in my name! :)

We're excited to be co-organisers for Niigata University’s 1st International Symposium on “Volcanology in Practice,” to be hosted in Niigata, Japan, from 7-10th October 2025, organised by ‪@farquharson.bsky.social‬. Abstract submission & registration are open now! www.thevolcano.world/index.html

8th May is the anniversary of the 1902 eruption of Mt Pelee, Martinique, which led to the loss of over 28,000 people in the town of St Pierre. The eruption remains one of the most deadly historical eruptions to date & shows the importance of focused preparedness and early action ahead of crises.

Today marks the 4th anniversary of the explosive phase of the 2020-2021 St Vincent eruption. Effective monitoring, good coordination, extensive education campaigns and efficient communications contributed to the successful evacuation of over 20,000 people with no recorded deaths.

Hey volcano folk, @vmsg.bsky.social is now on LinkedIn - follow for updates 🌋https://www.linkedin.com/company/volcanic-magmatic-studies-group-vmsg

Such a fun (and sticky!) weekend spent running lava modelling workshops as part of the Magma Rising exhibition at the @heong-gallery.bsky.social @downingcollege.bsky.social Cambridge for @cambridgefestival.bsky.social. Love seeing how excited others are to learn about volcanoes and our science! 🌋

This might be the best backdrop I've ever had for talk! I had so much fun talking about global volcanic risk and resilience as part of the Magma Rising exhibition @heong-gallery.bsky.social @downingcollege.bsky.social. Make sure you check out this excellent exhibition until 22nd April. 🌋

I'm keen to speak to as many people as possible during this programme to understand how we can benefit our community the most and for potential collaborations! Feel free to drop me a message if you're keen to chat or to learn more about GVRA!

Excited to be part of the UKRI ARC Accelerate cohort for 2025 which will allow me to spend the next 6 months focused on the development of our new charity @gvra.bsky.social!

From a GCR perspective, it's great to see the hard work of the planetary defence community come together to respond to this risk. This is an extremely capable community, and they clearly demonstrate the need for global cooperation in the face of extreme risks (lessons for other GCRs).

About the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) and the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group (SMPAG) - Nature Communications Atmospheric entry of asteroids or comets can cause significant damage to Earth.

Here's a great paper on the role of these two groups and how they'll be working now: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Asteroid #2024YRN discovered at the end of 2024, has a very small probability of striking Earth in 2032 (~1.2%). IWAN and SMPAG (UN-endorsed asteroid reaction groups) have been activated to monitor and assess the risks.

And we tick closer… it’s now 89 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock. The closest it has ever been to midnight.

We try! 🦠☄️☢️🤖🌋

Holyhead port to remain closed until 15 January at the earliest One of the UK's busiest ports will remain closed until at least 15 January after storm damage.
