Millions of people live within 100km of a volcano that has had at least one significant eruption. Yet the warning signs that signal a shift from mild activity to a high-impact eruption remain unclear. A major new £3.7M research project aims to change this... www.bristol.ac.uk/cabot/news/2...

Excuse the dramatic music on the original video, but incredible webcam footage of PDCs from Semeru progressively infilling a stream channel, looks like it happened to be in just the right place! 🌋

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5). Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

It took a lot of effort but finally we are in La Palma!! Exposition about the deployment carried out by our 240 pax @csic.es Canary Islands team (largest Spanish research institution) that got together during the 2021 Tajogaite eruption doing research by sea, land and air. 🌋💪

Following the #HayliGubbi eruption, our paper on the Erta Ale dike of Jun-Jul is finally out. InSAR, optical data and seismicity showed the temporal evolution of the intrusion and the interaction of magmatic sources, including a sill inflation in Hayli Gubbi. @earth-science.bsky.social #geoscience

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

Thanks Tim. @planet.com imagery from Nov 24 show some subsidence in the southern half of the Erta Ale caldera after the #HayliGubbi eruption (plus widespread ash deposits).

Here is a hastily constructed animated gif from different NASA satellites showing the progression of the Hayli Gubbi eruption. Note the tall ash plume spreading NE (right) and a lower, light tan ash flow(?) moving NNW. #eruption #volcano

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

We’re advertising a PhD studentship for folks with good knowledge of Caribbean culture and society, with background in geography, human geography, humanities or interdisciplinary geosciences as part of our @leverhulme.ac.uk funded ‘volcanic histories’ project

Summary of what the PhD student will do. QR code in bottom LHS. Project part of our Leverhulme Trust funded project volcanic histories and the student will examine the cultural markers and response to to volcanic activity across the Eastern Caribbean. Understand local ways of knowing and remembering volcanic activity. Integrate scientific. And community knowledge for DRR - joining an interdisciplinary team from several universities.
