The locals assured me that the weather in Brussels won't stay this nice, but we've been pleasantly surprised so far.

@infrasound.bsky.social gave a great talk on PDC generated infrasound! I might be biased, but I think it was wonderful work ❤️ #IAVCEI2025 @iavcei.bsky.social

Loved (biased) @pyrolithic.bsky.social talk on lahar fingerprinting and the convergent development of a tool and the use of cross correlation matrix visualization we use in seismology! #IAVCEI2025

We're looking for volcano researchers who use drones to fill out a short(ish) survey on typical field practices and use of UAS. We'll present some preliminary results at IAVCEI in Geneva @iavcei.bsky.social next month. Survey here: forms.gle/TWLt2qq1XLZz... Thank you!!!

Then and now: a post-workshop survey

It's been a little over two years since the inaugural "Lessons-Learned Community-Driven Workshop to Define Best Practices for Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) use in Volcanology" at IAVCEI 2023. Techno...

I try to stay away from politics but this crab eating a grape is very important.

Te Wai ā-moe, the sleeping waters, is the crater lake at the summit of Mt. Ruapehu, surrounded by (much diminished) glaciers on two sides, and a ridge of rock and tephra on the other 1.9.

The Vivienne Westwood exhibition at Te Papa is amazing from the design right down to the materials. Those are some gorgeous aragonite clusters.

Always love sharing this story. Soon, the "efficiency bros" will target science/research they think isn't adding value. Truth is, we don't know the value until it’s revealed - often years later. Another great example: radio astronomy research on tiny black holes led to Wi-Fi for billions of ppl!

Why's an astrophysicist riffing on Pre-Cambrian geology and geophysics without talking to a single geoscienist? Quick skim shows a number of factual errors....

I can no longer make fun of @infrasound.bsky.social for mixing up onsen and Unzen. Up until last week I thought Ottolenghi was just a variant name for Oldoinyo Lengai that people used when talking about regional dishes

I'm finally reading Children of Time and enjoying it. I want to compare it to the Uplift books, but there's a much narrower focus and sense of urgency here.
