Anyway, I just had to share this. If you want to read the serious science that this stemmed from, you can see the new story in @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

Skye-AVCEI - field teaching in 18degC and a gentle westerly. Sad not to make it to #IAVCEI2025 and catch up in Geneva. Doing what we can from here to think about magma and volcanos.

🚨🌋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

Mush disaggregation and dike propagation timescales at active volcanoes – Evidence from the 2022-2023 Fagradalsfjall eruptions

Abstract. The architectures of magma plumbing systems and timescales of magmatic processes are fundamental to understanding volcanic eruption dynamics. Thi

Amazing work by @albertocaracciolo.bsky.social . It's the coolest diffusion timescale work I've ever seen. You can see each eruption priming and how they are related to one another. Just super cool science.

There are many ways to study rocks up-close! 🔬💎 These thin section drawings and images are of feldspar-pyroxene xenoliths, brought up from beneath Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, by erupted basalts🌋 #ThinSectionTuesday #Petrology
