In August 2024, I recorded 65 fatal landslides around the world, which claimed 414 lives. The total number of fatal landslides in 2024 continues to exceed any previous year by a significant margin, probably reflecting high global atmospheric temperatures.

New paper! These authors look at the shape of volcanic domes and spines globally including how shape evolves with time during emplacement.

IAVCEI is saddened to learn that Hans-Ulrich Schmincke passed away on 24/08/24 at the age of 86. He was SG of IAVCEI between 1983-1991, and awarded the Thorarinsson medal in 1993. During his mandate, he revamped the publication model of BV, a legacy that we profit from today

It is very unlikely that the eruption will reach any infrastructure now 👍 but it has ignited extensive wildfires. The burning moss is thick and lush and it's a very sad sight #Reykjanes #Grindavik #volcano

🚨 I published a paper today! 🚨
We found unambiguous evidence for the formation of silicic lava by pyroclast sintering.

‘Heroes in the fire’ is a short film telling the story of local fire brigades risking their lives to tackle wildfires in the Amazon rainforest.
Our own Professor Jos Barlow (@JosBarlow) commissioned the film after seeing the brigades during research trips studying the forest.
Funded by @UKRI and Lancaster University, the film is now available to watch at lancaster.ac.uk/news/heroes-…

It is almost two years since a journalist, Dom Phillips, and an indigenist, Bruno Pereira, were brutally murdered in the Amazon. Here is the journey of one of their widows to the place where their remains were found.

Gloriously sunny day in Langdale as Dave and I show off the complex but amazing geology of the Langdale Caldera margin whilst hunting for tuffisites with @HTuffen, @WadsworthFabian, @jzhang_volc, and Jackie. Hope we didn’t put you off the BVG.

Jeremy Hunt just announced a huge tax cut for landlords.
Reminder: Hunt owns seven flats. Watch our investigation.

Well, yesterday afternoon was exciting to say the least. Magma intruded into the dyke but didn't make it to the surface to erupt. Are we disappointed that we didn't get measurements of the eruption start like we planned? Yes and no 🧵
Hugh Tuffen retweeted
The current volcanic events on Reykjanes have a remarkable periodicity. The lines show the rate of magma accumulation before each dyke intrusion/eruption. Y-axis: magma volume. X-axis: days since last eruption. Plot from @Vedurstofan 🧵

Please consider coming to @Haskoli_Islands to work with @EliasHeimisson and me on the spectacular sequence of seismicity at Bárðarbunga #volcano over the past 10 years - including even more spectacular fieldwork on the Vatnajökull ice cap (+Askja, the Reykjanes Peninsula & more)!
We are recruiting a PhD student in Geophysics at the University of Iceland! Engage in innovative research on volcano-tectonic seismicity right where the action is happening. Also, you'll have the potential to do exciting fieldwork. Apply by March 15, 2024. euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/1…
