Blog from Dr TiVonne Howe, recent #volcanology #PhD alumnus from @lancasteruni.bsky.social, on her research into magmatic volatiles at #Montserrat #SHV30, via @iavcei.bsky.social vipscommission.org/new-insights...

Hugely proud of TiVonne Howe for passing her PhD viva today! TiVonne's thesis tackled deep CO2 and volatile degassing at Lesser Antilles volcanoes, supported by a Government of Montserrat scholarship. Super independent and original work reveals new volcanic insights.. @lancasteruni.bsky.social

Fun and sunny field day looking at the Falls Foot #landslide in North Yorkshire, as our students prepare to write a technical report on its characteristics and likely triggers. Another great field site close to #Lancaster university!

Congratulations to Montserratian @lancasteruni.bsky.social PhD student TiVonne Howe for publishing her first paper, on magmatic CO2 and storage depths at her volcano: Soufriere Hills, Montserrat. New insights into the depth of magma storage and CO2 systematics: www.frontiersin.org/journals/ear...

Excited to get a sneak preview of the spectacular textures in samples of lava and pumice from the ~877AD Hrafntinnuhraun eruption, #Iceland, from David Zhang (LEC PhD student). Rhyolite-basalt magma mixing, sintering, fracture and healing, and more...

Beautiful thin sections of Icelandic pumice and lava!

Great atmosphere in the Gregson Centre last night... here's a snippet of bluegrass from Mr Saturday Night. Thanks to everyone who played and who came...we raised loads of money for charity!

Great audience in the Lancaster Environment Centre for Joe Roman (joeroman.com) explaining role of birds and seals in fertilizing the new volcanic island of Surtsey, and plugging his book Eat Poop Die. @lec-reefs.bsky.social

A pleasure to read the classic Magnús Tumí Gudmundsson paper on volcano-ice interaction in the 1996 Gjálp eruption (www.nature.com/articles/40122) with our #glaciology students. Head twister: warm meltwater drained uphill beneath Vatnajökull! Pic: Magnús, me, Hannah Reynolds (ex-LEC Volcanology MSc)

Hi as 🦋 newbie: I'm a #volcanologist & environmental scientist at Lancaster Environment Centre (UK). My research: volcanic conduit processes, rhyolitic eruptions, and #magma #degassing, also increasingly #soils and #microplastics.
