You can't undo robust scientific consensus even if you tried.

It is a well-proven #fact:

Earth's #climate is changing, and that change is human-made.

To all American scientists standing up to this attempt: global #academia is with you

Visited the inspiring George Walker museum in Breiddalsvik in #Iceland last week, saw one of my most inspiring collaborators & friend @claireharnett.bsky.social win the @iavcei.bsky.social Walker award yesterday. What a boost, congrats Claire! ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŒ‹

Yes, we saw. It's absolutely gut-wrenching. I hope everyone who did move found a nice new peaceful place to settle in.

Visiting #Grindavik in #Iceland silences even the most experienced volcanologists. We saw cracked up streets, fenced areas, and cracked houses leaning forward in which cups, pictures and toys still sat in the window. Volcanism has real impact on people's lives.

This lonely crater is not only heavily eroded along its rim, but appears to be filled-in with material although layers along the walls remain visible.

Studying #volcanoes on other planets and moons is fascinating, but it was as exciting this week to go out to the Czech-Polish border to study 300-million-year old #magma intrusions with #PhD student Amisha !

This event was seen, photographed and filmed by countless people near to and far from the volcano, making this potentially one of the most famous pyroclastic flows of our time. Access to the summit area of Etna had been closed by routine at the beginning of the activity. (2/2)
