Not that anybody reads and that I ever consent to be added to random science/scicomm based groups, but I don't post about my work other than very surface level stuff for very obvious reasons. But people will still follow me. Tbh that's on you if you actually expect some sort of content from me.

Volcanoes are fascinating. Pictures, videos and articles of eruptions fill our social media feeds and newspapers. But can you believe what you read? Misinformation and rumours spread just as easily as facts. Misconceptions are easily created and hard to correct. @heatherkhandley.bsky.social

During eruptions, misinformation can spread further than ash. How can we spot it?
From scary headlines to recycled eruption videos, new research reveals how common misconceptions can fuel misinformation about volcanoes.

Very quiet. Although can't rule out the risk of thunderstorms causing a bit of trouble every now and then.

Lastly, I've been motivated to buying discs again after Playstation's announcement of ending discs in 2028. So been collecting Playstation, Xbox and Switch games! Also brought a PC handheld and its so good to play my Steam, Xbox and emulated games on the go!

Got more hands-on experience in responding to national incidents as a DEFRA Emergency Reserve. A year since I've been a Flood Warning Duty Officer and even currently on duty now (not like I'm needed right now with the drought 😅).

Anyway, seems it was 11 months since I last was here so here is what has been happening: Had a team restructure so now I'm a Warning Officer - more of a technical role aligned with maintaining and making the Flood Warning Service better...

Are you a volcanologist or working in an adjacent field? Consider signing up for Niigata University’s 1st international symposium on “Volcanology in Practice”: www.thevolcano.world which will run from 7th–10th of October 2025 in Niigata, Japan, endorsed by @iavcei.bsky.social. #volcano #science ⚒️🌋
An advertising flyer for a scientific symposium called "Volcanology in Practice". The flyer consists of a semi-transparent background image of Myoko volcano, Japan, overlain by text which reads: 
"www.thevolcano.world

I'll be on the roster as a Flood Warning Duty Officer by August and will be appreciating the close relationship we have with the Met Office in order to make the important decisions of issuing flood alerts or warnings. True, we are experiencing understaffing etc ourselves but not to this degree.

Its more common in chalk stream areas (Hertfordshire where I'm based, and Yorkshire have the most chalk streams) but also can be gravel, which is more complicated.

Because you can't pump it out like river or surface water flooding. A colleague described it as "like trying to get rid of the water from an olympic swimming pool with a spoon" 😅

Its when a natural underground resevoir and the water table is at capacity and comes back up from the ground. Its because we had the downpours back in September and a wet winter (this is the 2nd year in a row now!). Groundwater flooding can stay around for months and there isn't an easy fix...

I was considering writing some thoughts to help cis people understand what's going on and what's needed... but I see who likes my posts about trans news and I can extrapolate who doesn't, so what's the point? Other than a very few allies who already know the things, who's going to read it?

If wondering what cards, its Digimon Card Game. An obvious focus is getting all the volcano-themed Digimon.
Two cards on a white duvet. They have shiney red borders and backgrounds. The 'rock dragons' are designed to look like solidified lava that can breathe fire. One on the left callwd Lavogaritamon is a bigger version of the one on the right, called Lavorvomon.A card with a white border. In the image is a giant dragon literally made out of a volcano with several vents on its back with a head, tail and walking on 4 legs. Called Volcdramon.A white border card being held in my hand. The earth dragon is called Volcanicdramon, with massive wings and body made out of solidified lava and bones and claws like molten lava.

I am not a federal employee, but many of my colleagues are. The work they do to better understand + inform the public on volcanic hazards is deeply important. We are a team. The attacks on education and NSF harms our shared mission. There is no public sector equivalent for the operational work we do

"But what can I do, I'm just a person" I'd rather see small acts of community help rather than passive defeatism. Even if you manage to help just one person, that's better than none. Now imagine if everyone dropped the defeatist attitude and helped.

Got to see one of our drones in action, which is the one I requested to get aerial photos of the location of groundwater flooding. Certainly helped confirmed that the river isn't flooding at least 😅
Ground is boggy and partly mud in the foreground. In the background is a flooded disconnect river with submerged trees. In the middle of the photo is a small red and black helipad with a red "H" in the middle and in the middle, smol white drone. One orange cone is visible behind the helipad. Just off camera to the left is a man's arm wearing a high vis jacket with a controller and his leg wearing black waterproof trousers and wellies.
