The second paper from my post doc working on IODP Exp 398 is out! We show regional rifting has modulated volcanic processes at Santorini Volcano with rapid rifting resulting in a phase of highly explosive caldera forming eruptions! 🌋

A new Exp398 study led by @abigaillily.bsky.social showed that caldera volcanism is associated with rifting on the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, Santorini and Kos Volcanoes may be coupled by regional lithospheric stresses...

The Kos Plateau Tuff eruption of the Kos Volcano 161,000 years ago poured pyroclastic flows into the Aegean Sea. IODP #exp398 found the submarine products of the eruption 200 to 300 m thick, 140 km away from source NE of Santorini.

An unexpected discovery of IODP Exp 398! 200 m of ash from the Kos Plateau Tuff eruption buried in the basins around Santorini, read how it got there in our new paper in Science Advances 🌋

🚨New Publication
@abigaillily.bsky.social & Exp398 discovered a 200m thick volcanic ash layer >140km from its source. The discovery shows that large eruptions in marine environments can remodel the seafloor & regionally destroy marine life during catastrophic events.

And there we have it. The 8th eruption from the #Svartsengi magma reservoir. By far the smallest one in terms of eruption time, area and volume.

Updated lava comparison map that also includes the #Fagradalsfjall eruptions.

Expedition 398 E&O Officer Susan just published a book on the amazing cores we drilled in and around Santorini.
It's great for anyone (layperson to expert) who wants to learn about these stunning cores.

It's so hard out there right now, especially for early career scientists. Publishing expectations have never been higher, and it's taking a year or more for papers to go through peer review, largely because of these delays. I know things are hard, but if you're publishing, you should be reviewing.

During the last six months there’s been a substantial increase in academics approaching me to ask about leaving #academia…

This article articulates many of the reasons why they’re doing that…
