Activity at Hayli Gubbi began in July when there was an eruption at Erte Ale. Magma propagated 30 km south passing under Hayli Gubbi. Since then, there has been a small plume, quasi-continuous SO2 emissions and uplift. Details in @uk-comet.bsky.social event response report: tinyurl.com/y3nfdfj8

Toch even een kleine correctie: dit is de eerste gedocumenteerde uitbarsting van deze vulkaan in Ethiopië. We weten niet wanneer de vorige uitbarsting was omdat deze vulkaan amper bestudeerd werd, en we de geschiedenis ervan dus niet kennen. Het zou me verbazen als het echt 12,000 jaar geleden was.

Here's the GVP page of Hayli Gubbi in Ethiopia: volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?.... Plume from the eruption can be seen in this Aqua/MODIS image cross the Red Sea to the Arabian Peninsula. #eruption #volcano

I've never been, so I thought 2026 may be good to attend #LPSC in Texas.
By restricting academic freedom through abiding an executive order they have effectively lost their prime #Space #science meeting position.
This is not ok, you won't see me or my science there. I hope no one submits.

Choosing to go to LPSC now that they've doubled down on banning any content about making the field a better place for underrepresented scientists? That would be rewarding this behavior and make the field even more unsafe! Just a thought!

Working at a #Space #Science institution with governmental ánd industrial connections we live this tension every day.
We have to continue convincing that having science in the driver's seat of space exploration is prime.

Thanks @astro-slawosz.bsky.social for visiting us at #CBKPAN to return the patch of the 1st Pole in space and add your own #IGNIS patch having been as 2nd Pole in space! Ready to inspire a new generation of our students! 🚀🌖

I have trouble seeing how these felsic veins and dykes at Austurhorn #Icelqnd could have come in by pyroclastic processes and not flow of a fluid magma at 2-3km depth?
Any papers to suggest @fabianwadsworth.bsky.social @htuffen.bsky.social or others working on tuffisite veins et al?

The #LASI7 post-conf fieldtrip in SE #Iceland was a blast!
On day 1 Gudmundur Omar took us into the heart of #Geitafell, once a central #volcano.
We saw the gabbro intrusion that once sat at 2-3 km depth, and the most impressive sheet intrusion complex above that once fed #lava flows!

How does lava sound when it comes to the surface of the Earth? Listen to a lava flow oozing out of its effusive vent high on the southwestern side of #Etna, 28 August 2025. That day no visits by tourists were allowed on the site, which permitted this (relatively) clean recording

You can't undo robust scientific consensus even if you tried.
It is a well-proven #fact:
Earth's #climate is changing, and that change is human-made.
