What a cracking first day of science presentations at the @vmsg.bsky.social Annual Meeting at @noc.ac.uk Fascinating talks and posters across the sessions. Back today covering magma, eruptive processes and volcanic monitoring among other topics. Photos taken by Dan Bourne.

A selection of photos of people talking at the Vmsg conference at the core workshop and posters across sessions. Also a photo of the sediment deposit left by many flows in the flume at the ice breaker.
