¿Qué nos cuentan los piroxenos de #LaPalma sobre el sistema magmático de #CumbreVieja? Articulo de divulgación en español sobre nuestro último trabajo en @es.theconversation.com por @albertocaracciolo.bsky.social @teresaubide.bsky.social, Mónica Ágreda Lopez y Álvaro Márquez.

🌋 New paper out! We explore temporal evolution of magma storage beneath #LaPalma, using clinopyroxene chemistry, LA-ICP-MS maps & clustering, revealing deep crystal mushes repeatedly remobilized by mafic magma. @geodgonzalez.bsky.social @maupetrelli.bsky.social @teresaubide.bsky.social

Recurrent evacuation of mantle mush in ocean islands revealed by clinopyroxene from La Palma - Nature Communications
Historical eruptions at La Palma repeatedly involved hot magma mobilizing a deep, cooler crystal-rich reservoir, highlighting a process potentially common to ocean island basalt systems.

Curious how integrated #geochemical and #statistical analyses helped reveal previously unknown #eruptions hidden within the ice cliffs of Mount Melbourne in #Antarctica? 🌋🇦🇶❄️ #tephra #PCA #t-SNE 📄 Read the full open-access paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨🌋New paper on the geochemistry and petrology of the 2022–23 Fagradalsfjall eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. We study temporal variations in the magmatic plumbing system and link diffusion timescales to monitoring signals, tracing the timing of mush disaggregation and dike propagation

Leaving Iceland for now, along with the Reykjanes eruptions! However, I am happy to share that I have started a postdoc at the University of Perugia, working with Maurizio Petrelli and collaborators on the 2021 La Palma eruption 🌋

This photo shows the November 2024 eruption at Sundhnúksgígar after a day of activity, when most lava flowed west. White smoke comes from the Svartsengi geothermal power plant, and black smoke from the burning Blue Lagoon parking lot. The barriers are doing a great job protecting the infrastructure

Time to gradually transition to Bluesky. Excited to share footage from the latest eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula for my first post 🌋
