New in BlueSky, so here goes my introduction! Hi all, I am a geologist specializing in petrology, geochemistry and volcanology both from analytical and experimental perspectives. Now working with Canary Islands volcanism.
Wow! A lot of new followers today, so I am reposting my #introduction.
With an update: I am now an Assistant professor at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid.

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

In Spain, football is more important that letting HOSPITAL WEBSITES work correctly
OP made a website to help parents give the right medication dosage to their children in case of an emergency
Whenever there's a football game, these websites don't work. Do you think it's fair?

New from me for @science.org: A major planetary science conference will require submitted abstracts to comply with Trump's anti-DEI executive orders.
This conference, LPSC, is a big deal. It's been running since 1970 and is one of the biggest planetary science conferences out there. 🧪🔭

Un día como hoy, hace 4 años daba comienzo la erupción del Tajogaite en la isla de La Palma.
A las 15.03h (hora local canaria) se iniciaba la erupción, que continuaría durante 85 días hasta el 13 de diciembre, siendo la erupción histórica más larga registrada en la isla y tercera en el archipiélago

🌋 Excited to share my new essay in Aeon: one of the most underappreciated global risks isn’t an asteroid or supervolcano—it’s the eruptions we don’t see coming:
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?
