Dr Sam Poppe

On this day my family and I remember our time in #StateCollege @pennstateuniv.bsky.social back in 2020 with #Fulbright and #BAEF and all the great new friends and memories we left with!

Thanks!!!

Activity at Hayli Gubbi began in July when there was an eruption at Erte Ale. Magma propagated 30 km south passing under Hayli Gubbi. Since then, there has been a small plume, quasi-continuous SO2 emissions and uplift. Details in @uk-comet.bsky.social event response report: tinyurl.com/y3nfdfj8

Toch even een kleine correctie: dit is de eerste gedocumenteerde uitbarsting van deze vulkaan in Ethiopië. We weten niet wanneer de vorige uitbarsting was omdat deze vulkaan amper bestudeerd werd, en we de geschiedenis ervan dus niet kennen. Het zou me verbazen als het echt 12,000 jaar geleden was.

Here's the GVP page of Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia: volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?.... Plume from the eruption can be seen in this Aqua/MODIS image cross the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula. #eruption #volcano

Instead, consider @egu.eu or @europlanetmedia.bsky.social #EPSC, or @agu.org if you really, really need to attend in the US.

We have built a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible community for years now. The work is far from finished. Politics will not take that from #academia.

I've never been, so I thought 2026 may be good to attend #LPSC in Texas.

By restricting academic freedom through abiding an executive order they have effectively lost their prime #Space #science meeting position.

This is not ok, you won't see me or my science there. I hope no one submits.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion - VIPS Commission Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at VIPS

It's been an absolute pleasure to push initiatives, but the battle for our community's diversity goes on! I will retire from this role but will never stop fighting for those who feel excluded.

Our EDI webpage links to some good resources for all of us to do so 👇🏼

Working at a #Space #Science institution with governmental ánd industrial connections we live this tension every day.
We have to continue convincing that having science in the driver's seat of space exploration is prime.

Thanks @astro-slawosz.bsky.social for visiting us at #CBKPAN to return the patch of the 1st Pole in space and add your own #IGNIS patch having been as 2nd Pole in space! Ready to inspire a new generation of our students! 🚀🌖

Finally made it to #Mars!

...at the wonderful Mars Yard at the Planetary Exhibition of the Jagellonian University in #Kraków, #Poland. Equipped with two rovers of Warsaw University of Technology

Happy it went into the Valle del Above then 👍🏼 And certainly worth a mention as the longest recorded at Etna 😉

Hi Boris, do you have an idea of the length of the June 2 PDC? Longer than the 3km of 2014? Asking for a big paper revision 😉

Hard to imagine indeed! We're doing some work on Austurhorn now so yes, happy to have a chat, will dm 👍🏼

I have trouble seeing how these felsic veins and dykes at Austurhorn #Icelqnd could have come in by pyroclastic processes and not flow of a fluid magma at 2-3km depth?
Any papers to suggest @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social @htuffen.bsky.social or others working on tuffisite veins et al?

...and then we went on to Reyðarártindur pluton, with it's roof contact showing hot interactions between granite and basalt in the roofs, even with a conduit and faults in the roof!
All described by Emma Rhodes et al in www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The second day the Tertiary Slaufrudalur pluton revealed itself magnificently (low ☁️ are regular here...), an example of a shallow granitic #magma pluton with roof contacts beautifully exposed for geologists ready to scramble upslope 🤩

The #LASI7 post-conf fieldtrip in SE #Iceland was a blast!
On day 1 Gudmundur Omar took us into the heart of #Geitafell, once a central #volcano.
We saw the gabbro intrusion that once sat at 2-3 km depth, and the most impressive sheet intrusion complex above that once fed #lava flows!

And with that, the main conference of #LASI7 is over and disappears in our foggy rearview mirrors of time! It was an honor to host all of you VIPS in #Iceland!
See you in a few years in..?

Oh yes 🤭

When you organize a conference and tell a bunch of volcanologists NOT to step on the #lava 😎👍🏼
#LASI7

Ready to start with #LASI7!

The stage is set! Ready to start #LASI7 #Iceland edition tonight in #Hveragerdi!

@iavcei.bsky.social

That looks pretty Rott'n indeed!

Have fun while we chat volcanic plumbing in #Iceland! 😎

How does lava sound when it comes to the surface of the Earth? Listen to a lava flow oozing out of its effusive vent high on the southwestern side of #Etna, 28 August 2025. That day no visits by tourists were allowed on the site, which permitted this (relatively) clean recording

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
💪🏼🌍 #climatecrisis

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! 🤩🌋

@iavcei.bsky.social just awarded the well-deserved Thorarinsson medal to planetary volcanism visionary Prof Lionel Wilson. An example for all of us, congrats!!!
