This morning, around 2:20 AM, a new #Kilauea eruption began within Kaluapele (the summit caldera). It was caught on camera by #HVO's B2cam. Images taken by the webcam were compiled into this timelapse video that shows lava fountains feeding lava flows across the caldera floor.

"Wie lange sich die strafrechtlichen Ermittlungen ziehen werden, ist derzeit noch unklar." Je länger sich die Ermittlungen hinziehen, desto eher hat der Bürger und Wähler den Skandal von Gablingen wieder vergessen. Die Vorfälle sind ja jetzt schon wieder aus den Schlagzeilen.

So, we published a paper in @PNASNews critiquing the recent paper by Wright et al. who claimed seismic detection of water on Mars - long story short, their geophysical comparisons are based on rocks that won't exist at depth!

The same story for studying rocks in the field? Probably still better than in ecology, but there are things at risk, when we lose contact with our primary source of information.
We must train specialists in botany and zoology — or risk more devastating extinctions, says Dasheng Liu, general secretary of the Ecological Society of Shandong in Jinan, China go.nature.com/3zwtVuw

We quantify deep/viscous subduction interface rheology by integrating field observations, numerical models, and experimental flow laws. This provides us new insights into viscosity and strength variations along subduction zones.

Interesting study emphasizing the need to rethink seismic hazard assessment in intra-plate regions!
Mantle upwelling formed the highest mountain range in North Africa. New research suggests it may also have caused the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck western Morocco last year.

You know those unrealistically complicated relative dating exercises we give students? Well, it turns out they're modeled on #CapeBreton geology. ;)

Todays was the "Spatenstich" for the new building of @LMU_Muenchen that will eventually unite everyone of the Department for Earth and Environmental Sciences under one roof.
Talked about for decades, in planning since many years, now it's happening!

academia is so brutal to ECRs. my current job ends this month & my email is vanishing that same day, which is causing havoc with the journal portals where Ive got articles submitted / accepted / in production. mayb Im naive, but is it rlly that hard to give us a few months grace?

How much of groundwater seepage & mixing occur around main-river knickpoints ? We conducted extensive synoptic sampling, mixing & groundwater modelling to learn more about this in our recent @theAGU #GRL publication! So happy to see this paper out: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… 🥳
