On this day in 1902, Montagne Pelée (Martinique) unleashed pyroclastic flows that killed over 28,000 people. That tragedy gripped me as a child and led me to volcanology. After more than a decade studying PDCs, I’ve received on this day my permanent faculty post at Edinburgh to continue the journey.

Terrifying 😱 (watch until the end) Myanmar: CCTV footage from Mandalay’s Mahamuni Pagoda shows the giant Buddha shaking during the powerful M7.7 earthquake on March 28. Moments later, part of the shrine collapses as people scramble to escape.

Just found out that Lavigne et al. published this for Merapi in 2015. Really love the visualisation of different risk and vulnerability data! And I need to dig in on the PDC impacts 🫰🏻 hal.science/hal-04280554/
