Whakaari is still going for it as of this morning, it will be very interesting to see how this eruption evolves and whether it elevates in activity (photo from GeoNet)

Yeah I have to agree, Wellington is beautifully temperate. I definitely don't miss UK winters

Oo that sounds pretty nice!

I'd like to be added 😊

That southerly has got us feeling like...

The Response of Taupō Volcano to the M7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake

<em>Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth</em> is a premier AGU geophysics journal, publishing research articles from across the Earth sciences that significantly advance the field.

This morning has a nice write up by @jamiemorton.bsky.socialwww.nzherald.co.nz/nz/surprise-...

Kaikōura 2016 earthquake linked to unrest at Taupō supervolcano - 500km away

It’s been a question on the minds of geoscientists - can big quakes trigger eruptions?
