Volcano Listening Project

New paper (and cover image of the week!) at @PNASNews. Message me if you don't have a subscription and I'll send you a copy. Biggest result yet in my not-so-secret program to highlight the scientific goldmines that are volcanic landscapes pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I did a @OPB @OPBTOL interview with Dave Miller about the new @PNASNews paper. Great questions. opb.org/article/2025/0…

A few clips from the ongoing volcano eruption in Iceland

The first of hopefully many papers from our @NSF funded @c2c_proj, suggesting that cryptic degassing driven by a rheologic phase transition in the crust (shutting off LIP eruptions) drives prolonged warming periods in Earth History. @magmatist @tamsinmather @bjwmills and others.

Our FRES grant from @NSF is getting off to a great start. Here is some outreach with Oregon high school students at a new vent deposit of the #columbiariverfloodbasalt main phase eruptions. #wapshillaridge with @magmatist

Check out these humongous dikes lurking beneath the Columbia River Basalts (and meet the friendly horses who helped us haul our gear up to explore them)! Great field work with @VolcanoListener and the C2C team

The Volcano Listening Project record is out on all streaming platforms! Thanks to Adhyâropa Records for making this happen, and contributing artists that inspire everytime I listen. I hope you enjoy this fusion of volcano science and music. leifkarlstrom.bandcamp.com/album/the-volc…

The University of Oregon Department of Earth Sciences @UO_Geology is hiring at assistant professor level! Very broad search, the only requirement being that candidates make a connection to subduction science. @uocas @OHAZ_UO More information here: careers.uoregon.edu/cw/en-us/job/5…

The first single from the Volcano Listening Project record is out, featuring free improvisation by bass clarinet, tuned glass, and violin to data from the 2021 #fagradalsfjalleruption! Listen anywhere, e.g. on @Bandcamp. #adhyaroparecords leifkarlstrom.bandcamp.com/album/the-volc…

@ecpbreard @DufekLab @GeosciencesEd We gotta sonify this!

@GeomorphWill @UHEAS @UHouston Congrats, Will!

Nice modern web design summary from @uocas @UO_Geology @UOVolcanology @uoregon on our recent paper. around.uoregon.edu/earth-scientis…

New paper from @joshua_crozier. We model a sequence of explosive events from the 2018 Kilauea eruption from magma chamber to atmosphere, and in doing so propose a class of eruption mechanism that differs from typical phreato/magmatic spectrum.

Proud to be part of a 75-author collaboration on cross-cultural similarities between music and speech led by @PatrickESavage and @YutoOzaki1! The paper is featured in the cover of @ScienceAdvances and can be found at: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@e8chin Nice thread, Emily. In the end however, unless this new system discourages really good professors from working at UC (is that happening?), IMO it always comes down to the advisor. Good advisors know how to identify creative people and teach them how to explore effectively.

As with artists, creating something truly new and exciting cannot be boiled down to X number of hrs worked. The journey itself is an enormous, indescribable part of it. This is something that may very well be lost with the new graduate education model.

I'm done foaming at the mouth about the new Paradigm Shift at UC for graduate education. The new reality has sunk in and I have thought about the new model (which requires a formal "work" component in addition to a student's academic pursuit of a PhD). I've realized something:🧵

The final track was mixed masterfully by #toddsickafoose. For the #volcanolisteningproject record it was interpreted on steel guitar by #mikiyamatsuda. 10 days left to get in on vinyl! kickstarter.com/projects/volca…

The 2022 #hungatongahungahaapai eruption atmospheric waves propagated around the world many times. #lambwave arrivals were clearly seen in microbarograms globally. Take a listen to our #sonification! vimeo.com/941363969?shar… More details below.

We extracted timeseries from 10 stations, mapping the base frequency to distance from the volcano. The rising and falling of pitch records the global propagation and return of infrasonic oscillations.
