New subsurface temperature models for Ireland have been published! In this work we used a joint geophysical petrological inversion to solve directly for temperature.

A new lava flow started early on 14 August 2025 from a vent at 2980 m elevation on #Etna 's upper south flank, near the site of the February 2025 eruption. Lava is flowing southwest into uninhabited areas.

Today is the LAST CHANCE to nominate for our 2026 RAS Awards🏅🏆

Among them is the prestigious Gold Medal – the Society’s highest honour – which dates back more than 200 years and has previously been won by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and the new Astronomer Royal, Michele Dougherty.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...
Being Too Helpful At Work Can Hurt Your Career—Here’s How To Say No
Women are more likely to take on behind-the-scenes duties at work—extra tasks like onboarding or event planning—and it's hurting their careers. Here's how to say no.

Heads-up! I just posted a new batch of Lawetlat’la (Mt St Helens), Tahoma (Mt Rainier) and Erebus (Antarctica) scale model 3D-printed volcano tissue box covers in my shop. This is the first time Tahoma has been offered in InSAR colors.

To Home a tissue box cover that is 3-D printed with the tissue coming out of the top that changes colors very very quickly from layer to layer to make it look like rainbowINSAR. There is a script “Tahoma“ with Mount Rainier underneath in the style of Forest service signs. Detail of the 3-D printed Mount Rainier topography in rainbow color gradient Mount Saint Helens 3-D printed tissue box cover top that is printed in purple and gold so it looks purple in One Direction and gold in the other direction Black and green Mount Saint Helens volcano tissue box top cover. It looks green from One Direction and black from the other.

If you want to know more about my latest paper on the Afar plume (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) I'm presenting it as a poster today at the IAVCEI conference.
Come chat in the poster session (#147) or just come say hello if you see me about! #iavcei2025

It has been a pleasure to work with @statesofprecarity.bsky.social on posters looking at the impact of fixed term contracts (FTC) in Geography (and beyond).

🔵Poster 1 - the challenges of FTC
🔵Poster 2 - How to support colleagues on FTC
🔵Poster 3 - Identity and difference and the impact of FTC
Posters, titled the challenges of fixed term contracts covering social isolation, difficulty saying no, lack of career progression, putting life on hold, overwork, ill-health, feeling disposable, financial insecurity and rootlessness. Poster titled supporting colleagues on fixed term contracts, recommending foster community, provide mentorship, lobby to effect change, consider task allocation, manage workloads, communicate clearly, promote health and wellbeing, welcome colleagues, understand experiences. Poster titled identity and difference: fixed term contracts looking at the impact of ftc on residency and visa status, parents and carers, financial background, gender, lgbtqi+, disability and health conditions

Just ordered one! Excellent design. Definitely recommend ordering one ASAP

It's 100 days until Xmas (yep, I know) so it's officially acceptable to start thinking about it!
Pre-orders for my #geology xmas jumpers is open! And the link is my bio :) They are more nerdy than ugly, but sure to make you a contender for the office's jumper competition!

Excellent 2 days of fieldwork for the GRANNUS and MOD3LTHERM projects. 100% data recovery in Northern Ireland and we installed a fence to protect the equipment from cows. Thanks to Eoghan Totten @dias_geophysics
and Rob Raine @GeoSurveyNI for making this possible #Diasdiscovers.
