What a great symposium on geological mapping and fieldwork across geological disciplines at the William Smith Bicentenary Celebration Thanks to @yorksgeolsoc, @ypsyork and @fossiliam for providing the chance to present my project on Tenerife and revisit my work on North Wales!

Incredible photo of Ruang erupting. I'm blown away!! 📷 Welman Boba

We are glad to inform that the Call for Sessions is now open for the next IAVCEI 2025 Scientific Assembly that will be held in Geneva. More info at 👉 sa2025.iavceivolcano.org/call-for-sessi…

@Brendasigen Thank you!

@L_Alexander_C_ Pretty good

Another cracking day! Found some more zeolites among the lavas. Managed to retrieve some analcime, thompsonite, calcite and a few other oddities. I am beginning to wonder whether there is any connection between the zeolites and the types of basalts e.g mugearite = natrolite 🧐

@AssiomDalmeida Excellent! I thought so too! I'm glad you agree 😁

I love exploring the mineralogy of the Skye lava group! Managed to find some superb mesolite, chabazite, heulandite and a little calcite.

This week's quest is to see whether the weather in Skye is as good as the rocks... wish me luck 😬

This is awesome!! Close-up of Mt Etna producing volcanic vortex rings this afternoon. Soooo cool!! 😍 📹 Vincenzo Greco, Volcanological Guides Etna North

This video of the Rock of Gibraltar gives an intuition for why some areas of the world have deserts next to rainforests What's happening here? How can you use that to predict where there will be deserts or rainforests?🧵

Thanks to @BaileyGeog and @Earth_Sci_Richy for the help throughout the fieldwork. It's exciting to see this project unfold, and I look forward to seeing how this all turns out!

Two field seasons on Tenerife investigating the plinian pumice falls and associated deposits from the Guajara are now done. What a fantastic time! Now, I'm flying to the labs for some more fun and games!

Can you find the pumice fall? 🧐

Cwoorr! How's that for a bomb sag!

It has been one of *those* days 🏜️

Another day, another pumice venture

I should add that a 'little' bit of rain won't stop our correlations! Right @BaileyGeog @Earth_Sci_Richy

Oi, there's pumice in them thar hills! Excitedly, our problematic pumice puzzle is beginning to be solved! We still have some way to go... excitement looms 🤔🌋

A gorgeous start to a week of fieldwork
