With ongoing minor eruptions generating ash from Whakaari I talked offshore volcanoes this morning on RNZ with Mihinarangi Forbes and Colin Peacock www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

This is amazing! The Greenland USO (Unidentified Seismic Object) now immortalized in a cartoon 😁 Seism-o-solver to the rescue! Source (www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...)

Great to see this story finally published. I had a (very very) minor role in the paper, but was incredible to watch and learn the real experts solving the mystery.

I am so excited for everyone to see this amazing story about the mysterious seismic signal, mega-tsunami, giant rockslide, and perpetual wave machine of a fjord! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Entire Earth vibrated for nine days after climate-triggered mega-tsunami

Landslide in Greenland caused unprecedented seismic event that shows impact of global heating, say scientists

Our Te Kaha webcam is capturing some gorgeous images of the low-level eruptive activity at Whakaari!

Gilles Seropian did an awesome review of this very topic a few years ago: www.nature.com/articles/s41... TL,DR: Triggered eruptions unlikely unless volcano already primed for eruption. Unrest more likely.

A review framework of how earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions - Nature Communications

This review dives deep into how earthquakes affect volcanoes, specifically into the relation between tectonic seismic activity and subsequent eruptions. Activity may increase in any volcanic setting i...

The 2022-2023 unrest episode at Taupō volcano in New Zealand was one of the longest and most seismically intense in recent history. Analysis by Lamb et al. suggests it might have been triggered by magma entering the volcanic system. Read more: doi.org/10.26443/sei...

SO HAPPY to see the mahi of friend and collaborator Prof Ben Kennedy recognised as this year's Prime Minister's Science Communicator! 🧪⚒️🇳🇿

Prime Minister’s science prizes recognise work in cancer genetics, psychology of music, communication of volcanic risk, student engagement, and soil science

An innovative partnership that led to discovery of the gene causing inherited stomach cancer, a scientist uncovering the psychological underpinnings of music, and a volcanologist communicating both th...

If the plural for goose is geese, does that mean the plural for moose is meese? #AskingForAFriend

Stunning weather for my first day in Anchorage. I'm here for the #SSA24 conference, and I'm looking forward to meeting and learning what other seismologists have been up to!

Gorgeous sunset over Taupō and the National Park volcanoes.
