Lucille Carbillet wins the EMRP outstanding early career scientist award at EGU @egu.eu! She gave a great presentation about heterogeneity! 🥇

It’s important at EGU @egu.eu to go to the “ribs place”. Way too much food…but forced it in anyway!

After a hiatus, I’m back at EGU @egu.eu talking about creep! Specifically, compaction creep in tuffs!

The @rottnrock.bsky.social team have had a successful week and a bit in Nisyros, Greece, one of our education sites for multi-method research!

Zoom in to see the goats climbing an altered outcrop in Nisyros, Greece! 🐐

Checking out the main field sites in Nisyros, as part of the latest @rottnrock.bsky.social field trip! We’re here to do multidisciplinary science to look at how hydrothermal alteration influences the volcanic landscape and its hazards

The @rottnrock.bsky.social team waiting for the ferry to Nisyros to begin the next fold campaign! @trwalter.bsky.social

🚨🌋 New paper on hydrothermal alteration & permeability at La Soufrière de Guadeloupe! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jv... 📊 More altered rocks show higher average permeability 🔬 But microstructures reveal alteration reduces permeability ⚠️ Small datasets can be misleading @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social

The 16th Euroconference on Rock Physics and Rock Mechanics is now over! What a week! Great science, great people, great location! Best conference ever? 😆

Some highlights from the design workshop at EuroConf2026 yesterday, with talks from Profs Toshi Shimamoto and Tom Mitchell!

Proposal now submitted! We hope to drill into the sliding flank of Mt Etna! 🌋 The number of emails between the PIs—Claudio, Eleonora, Gilda, and myself—in the last days were eye-watering! Fingers crossed now! 🤞

Check out our new paper about phreatic eruptions at Whakaari volcano in New Zealand! 🌋🇳🇿

Communications Earth & Environment@commsearth.nature.com · 8mo ago

🌋Phreatic eruptions at Whakaari volcano are influenced by subsurface pressurisation magnitudes and timescales, which in turn are significantly influenced by hydrothermal mineralisation and magmatic gas input rates. 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

On my way to Strasbourg, to visit @rocklabstrasbourg.bsky.social and to connect with the @epostcsah.bsky.social community. I got to admit, traveling per train beats the plane by a mile! Better views, better seats, better WiFi. Now if there wouldn't be any strikes on the way... It would be perfect

Big congrats to @claireharnett.bsky.social, who won the 2026 @egu.eu Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists! 🥳🏅 Here's some photos of Claire recommended by my phone... www.egu.eu/news/1551/eg...

New paper out in Solid Earth, led by Sam Thiele: "Hyperspectral mapping of density, porosity, stiffness, and strength in hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks" 🥳 @rottnrock.bsky.social It's #OpenAccess! 👇 se.copernicus.org/articles/16/...

Hyperspectral mapping of density, porosity, stiffness, and strength in hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks

Abstract. Heterogeneous structures and diverse volcanic, hydrothermal, and geomorphological processes hinder characterisation of the mechanical properties of volcanic rock masses. Laboratory experimen...

Nice couple of days at Teide volcano summit 🌋 to understand hydrothermal alteration and associated risks with @magmatroll.bsky.social (Uppsala Univ) and @rottnrock.bsky.social ERC synergy grant cc @ipna.csic.es @csic.es

Deadline tomorrow!

I'm hiring a new post-doc to work on the @rottnrock.bsky.social project! Come help us understand hydrothermal alteration and volcanic hazards! Advert here: www.unistra.fr/universite/t... 📸 Recent ROTTnROCK trip to Mombacho, Nicaragua 🌋

Samples of hyaloclastite from Krafla in Iceland 🇮🇸 🌋 These samples are from different depths within the shallow reservoir, and they’re now ready for some physical and mechanical probing in the laboratory!

I'm lurking at the back!

Talking about what laboratory measurements would be needed as part of the FlankEd project in Catania, Italy 🇮🇹 🌋

First day of the FlankEd workshop in Catania! We were all treated to a guided tour of Etna 🌋 by the experts at @ingvterremoti.bsky.social! Here they are pointing at maps at sites of interest!

The science of volcanoes and their relationship with the climate is hard to keep up with. Why do some volcanoes give us little warning before they blow? Are we ignoring the next big eruption?

Hidden volcanoes: are we ignoring the next big eruption? | Aeon Essays

The next global disaster may be triggered by a catastrophic eruption. How can we prepare for the fire beneath our feet?
