New paper alert!!! Want to learn more about the origin of obsidian clasts in pyroclastic deposits? Are they juvelines or lithics? Check our paper resulting from an outstanding international collaboration #Azores #SeteCidades #volcanology #geochemistry sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper. Evidence that clasts of obsidian found in the deposits of explosive silicic eruptions are assembled on the volcanic conduit walls by viscous sintering processes.

New paper led by Martin Mangler! Here we suggest that there may be an intermediate mixed diffusion-interface limited growth mode for magmatic crystals.

Here's a throwback to what I think is the only meeting where all of Holly Unwin's supervisory team met at once in 2021! Bravo again, Holly!

Finally finding time to work on the calorimetric study of the IDDP-1 borehole rhyolite glass. Here, with LMU Volcanology, I'm asking: how has the rheology and structural relaxation behaviour of Krafla's rhyolitic glass/melts changed from c. 2 km depth to the Earth's surface?

Evidence for interactions between magmas and altered rocks are rare despite the close link between magmatism and hydrothermal processes. We explored this puzzle in one of the most intense volcanic and hydrothermal areas on Earth and offer an explanation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Vibrant lab discussions at LMU Volcanology about permeability and how it evolves.

I can spend hours staring at #lava fragments dancing above a crater rim. The way they move, fall, interact with each other, wrap around themselves is just hypnotizing.
Just pure abstract volcanic art.

I really love catching up with Jeremie Vasseur (LMU Volcanology)! This time we’re working on the next steps in our work on crystal-bearing magma rheology, together with Yan Lavallée and Don Dingwell.

Betty Scheu (LMU Volcanology) is excited to show us Durham Volcanology visitors some of her lab capabilities. Ed Llewellin, Betty, Don Dingwell, and I are discussing explosive volcanic eruption dynamics.

Welcome to inferno
Sound on!

Jeremie, Corrado Cimarelli and Markus gave their presentations in a crowded room. Great to see the interest in “recent advances in volcanology”, convened by Luca Caricchi and our Ulrich Küppers.
Julia had excellent discussions in the lively poster session.

There we go again

Why do peanuts 'dance' when dropped in beer? Find out with this paper from #RSOS : ow.ly/IGTG50P57I1 | #MaterialsScience #ChemicalEngineering #Volcanology

A wonderful image courtesy of Anthony Jones (a Durham Earth Science PhD student working on our peanut fun projects) who used AI to merge peanuts and beer in a way I guess none of us expected. Fantastic.

Are you at #IUGG23 ? Come along to see Jérémie Vasseur talk about our work on shear thinning and failure in crystal bearing magmas on Tuesday 18th. Here’s the paper:

I’m enjoying reading Annabelle Foster’s draft work on viscous sintering dynamics in rhyolites. Perfect way to spend a stormy Saturday lunchtime.
