Huge shout out to the COT24Early Career Presentation prize winners and runners up. Including Elo Wilkinson-Rowe, who presented about her MPhil research, completed in the Cambridge Tephra Lab last year. 🌋⚒️

Three people on a conference stage - one speaking into mic and two others shaking hands and holding an envelope. There is a large screen announcing the prize winner and her talk title.
A close up of two people shaking hands and smiling. One, holding an envelope, looks embarrassed.

Documenting this day so we can attribute all the Mt Etna tephra we are about to find in our cryptotephra lab to the correct isochron 🫣🌋🤔🕵🏻‍♀️ #tephratastic#toomuchtephra ⚒️

6 people in outdoor gear stood on ashy ground with a mountain/volcano in the background. It’s cloudy, but clear from shorts and sone bare arms that it is still quite warm.
The same 6 people, this time with a view below into the cones and lava flows on the volcanoes slopes. You can just make out the sea in a bay in the distance.

Members of the Cambridge Tephra Lab (past and present) are at the Commission of Tephrochronology meeting, Catania - COT24, this week.

8 humans stood smiling in front of a wall built into a lava flow.

The lab was busy yesterday with Geographers attending the Sutton Trust summer school. Well, they entered as Geographers, but they left as tephrochronologists! Lots of great observations and questions - these students will go far (like #tephra 😉). ⚒️🌋🌍🧪

A PowerPoint slide showing an image of an erupting volcano with a plume blowing to the right, there is snow on top. The title says “Volcanic Ash Lab, Sutton Trust, Geography 2024” and authors named as Christine Lane and Jordan Holl from University of Cambridge
Some volcanic glass, ash and pumice hand specimens alongside a colour printed sheet showing photos and descriptions of volcanic glass shard morphologies and tephra layers
Part of a (part-)completed worksheet where a student has hand-plotted average tephra compositions against some reference data on an element oxide bi-plot.

I like 🪨!

A picture on the scanning electron microscope of lots of tephra, with crystals and bubbles I. From the 2021 eruption of Soufrière, St Vincent.

Looks like #tephrawww.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

First detection in Australia of cryptotephra likely to be derived from the 25.6 ka Ōruanui supereruption in New Zealand
