#etna 🌋 | Il parossismo di giorno 10 febbraio visto da Lipari. Viviamo in una terra meravigliosa 📸 Gaetano Di Giovanni #sicilia #sicily #eruption #eruzione #eolie pic.x.com/mri82zogif

During the most intense phase of the spectacular paroxysmal eruptive episode at #Etna's Southeast Crater on the evening of 10 February 2022, several lightning strikes occured in the eruption column, causing widespread amazement in the local population.

Remember our Garasalan school project near #TulluMoye? Our team now delivered a series of books (and shelves!) to expand the school library. Great work by Amdemichael Zafu Tadesse Gemechu Ethioder Tours Dr. Elena Maters! Thanks again to all who supported! Rift Volc Faculté des Sciences

Also attending #COV11 (virtually) is Amdemichael Zafu Tadesse with his e-poster (PP079) on constraining the plumbing system at Bora #TulluMoye, Ethiopia, from petrology and geochemistry. With Faculté des Sciences AAU Luca Caricchi Abate A. Melaku Victoria Smith and many others!

Our Faculté des Sciences #vocano PhD's are attending #COV11 this week. Catch up in person/online with Lorenzo Cappelli to discuss CO2 degassing in the Kenya Rift (PP114) and Amdemichael Zafu Tadesse virtually on the #magma plumbing system of Bora/Tullu Moye in Ethiopia (PP079) #geothermal #geology

*Call for feedback*!! We drafted some Best-Engagement Protocols for International Collaboration, and which can be viewed on: vhub.org/groups/involc/… If you'd like to provide comments, please do so on the VHub forum. We aim to finalise the protocols in early 2023.

Want to know more about INVOLC? For those attending #COV11, please tune in to Prof Yirgu's talk tomorrow Thursday morning 8.30 Greek time, in session S4.01.

I am pleased to share our new paper published in JVGR! (authors.elsevier.com/a/1iI7q1LkU3g7…). Data from field work and petrography were used to constrain the eruptive history of Gedemsa caldera volcano and magma chamber processes. Thank you all for your contributions.

Introducing Episode 5! Tomorrow we will be travelling to Ethiopia and learning all about Erta Ale - thank you to Yordanos Mekonen and Amdemichael Zafu Tadesse for taking part!
