A few highlights from our 60th Anniversary VMSG Meeting last week in Bristol. Thanks to Sam Mitchell for taking all these fab images and thanks again the local organising committee led by @pyroclasticpete.bsky.social for putting on a wonderful conference!
A bit behind on the upload but I had such a great time @vmsg.bsky.social 2024 conference in Bristol. It was so great to see everyone and catch up on our volcanic adventures 🌋⚒️🧪
Hi Bluesky 👋 we're the Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group, a special interest group of the MinSoc and GeolSoc (@geolsoc.bsky.sociallinktr.ee/vmsg
The second of my two recently purchased old geology books has arrived! Earth-lore: geology without jargon by S. J. Shand, published in 1933. Both of my books I got from Oxfam’s online store. They’re a great go-to for stuff like this.
Thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with Jaco Bass & Jeffrey Peakall, admiring, measuring, and discussing the beautiful Uni of Leicester BVG slabs. I’ve walked past them so many times I never truly realised just how complex their sedimentology is 😅
The first of two recently ordered old geology books arrived! ‘The students elements of geology’ by Sir Charles Lyell (revised by Murray, 1885). The illustrations in these books is always outstanding! And the bluntness of the text can be amusing.
It annoys me far more than it should that this tile in Leicester’s Highcross shopping centre is upside down (even if heavily tilted) 🙈⚒️
My first paper is now out!! “Cohesional behaviours in Pyroclastic material and the implications for deposit architecture” 🌋 Thank you so much to my *incredible* supervisory team and the enthusiastic and thorough reviews from the Editor and 2 reviewers link.springer.com/article/10.1...
