Folks, im happy to share our work, on new evidence for ash venting alongside rhyolitic lava effusion, from Iceland, which we argue is a general & widespread hazard of silicic systems — newly-(properly)-published, open access, on nat comms: doi.org/10.1038/s414...

Sustained ash emission during lava effusion is a hidden volcanic hazard of silicic eruptions - Nature Communications

The study presents field evidence that Iceland eruptions of silicic lava are typically accompanied by long-lasting ash plumes but remain hidden in the tephra record. This potential hazard should be ap...

‼️ New paper alert! Putting my research hat back on… here’s a pre-print about the sintering of small glass particles. We think it demonstrates what’s going on in the shallow sub-surface of silicic #volcanoes! Ash + sintering = lava = hybrid eruptions! #Geology Paper here —> tinyurl.com/kmfy7pek 🌋

A few highlights from our 60th Anniversary VMSG Meeting last week in Bristol. Thanks to Sam Mitchell for taking all these fab images and thanks again the local organising committee led by @pyroclasticpete.bsky.social for putting on a wonderful conference!
