YouTube video by 2025 Sagaing Earthquake Archive First fault rupture ever filmed. M7.9 surface rupture filmed near Thazi, Myanmar

This is mind-blowing! I have never seen footage of the slip that occurs during an earthquake! Here you see the slip that occurred during the Myanmar earthquake. 🤯

See you today!

Kyle Dayton is a PhD candidate at Cornell University using geochemistry, mineralogy, and melt and fluid inclusions to understand the role volatiles have on geologic processes. In this webinar, Kyle will discuss how melt and fluid inclusions, both trapped within olivine phenocrysts during crystal growth, preserve valuable information about pre-eruptive magma storage conditions of volcanic eruptions. Utilizing the geochemical information preserved within these two inclusion types can reveal the history of magma chambers at depth and offer a window into the processes that occur prior to volcanic eruptions.

Join CONVERSE ER tomorrow at 4pm EDT to learn about the role of volatiles in geologic processes!!
In this webinar, Kyle will explain how olivine-hosted melt & fluid inclusions provide insight into magma storage conditions & pre-eruptive volcanic processes.

Satellite-Based Thermal InfraRed (TIR) Monitoring of Volcanoes: from Hydrothermal Systems to Effusive Eruptions. Lecture at 4pm EST on 25 February 2025. Register here: https://tinyurl.com/converse25Feb

Satellite thermal imagery can help monitor remote (and deadly) volcanic systems - but have you ever wondered how it works?

Join us on Tuesday at 4pm EST to learn more from PhD candidate Simone Aveni & his Thermal InfraRed (TIR) analyses!

Hey volcano friends, I’m hosting this webinar series where grad students and early career researchers showcase their awesome work on volcano science. Check the post below for a link to register or watch previous sessions at www.converse-er.org/spring2025we...

Seen this morning just outside the HPPA offices: Pele's hair!
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is seeing an increase in Pele's hair falling around the Kīlauea summit and nearby communities. These fine strands of volcanic glass are formed during eruptions and can cause skin and eye irritation.

Tech-to-Tech Partnership Brings MTU PhD Student Back to Volcanic Roots Gustavo Bejar-Lopez has been interested in volcanoes since he was a child. Now, the Michigan Technological University Ph.D. student is a budding volcanologist mentoring young geologists from his under...

Very excited to be featured in this article talking about my research at @michigantech.bsky.social and NatGeo, and our work with a student at Yachay Tech, my original college in Ecuador.

I cannot get over this Tiny Desk by Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso (best piece at 13min59sec): youtu.be/9kqnsoY94L8?...

Lyrics are not PG so you may not want to turn on subtitles. However, the vibes and artistry are amazing. 20M views in two months (a million are probably mine).

Early career friends & colleagues in volcanology attending @agu.org this year. Don't miss the CONVERSE-ER Social Event tomorrow at 6:30p at the Busboys & Poets Art Cafe in DC. This is a great chance to make new connections and chat about volcano science with other early career folks!

This is wild!

That first photo shows Volcán Chimborazo to the right of smaller Volcán Carihuairazo. Carihuairazo is a small unassuming mountain until you learn that between 2023-2024 it became the first Ecuadorian peak to completely lose its glacier due to climate change :(

Hello @bsky.app ! We are the Ixchel project funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund @ukri.org Expect posts on research activities, including but not limited to volcanology, disaster risk reduction, critical decolonial theory, human rights, and arts-based participative methodologies 🌋

A photo of a volcano with a small explosion at its crater. The photo was taken in the early hours of the day, so the erupted material is incandescent with bright red and orange colors. Some of the red hot rocks released in the eruption appear to roll down the flank of the volcano. A small gray ash cloud accompanies the eruption.

Ok bsky, show me but you got... I’ll go first: here’s a volcano!

This is Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala, where I currently focus my PhD work. Hopefully, this platform will revive the enthusiasm I had for microblogging science before the Twitter debacle.
