🌋 New paper alert 🏝
Can climate change increase volcanic hazard? Check out our paper "Controls on Water-Magma Interactions at Hydraulically-Charged Volcanic Islands" led by a former PhD student Mariana Andrade recently published in Geophysical Research Letters (open access) doi.org/10.1029/2025...

🌋 New paper led by Emma Horn & the CAVES Project!

We’ve characterised the glass geochemistry of 15 major Azores eruptions (~100 ka). This dataset provides fingerprints to trace Azores tephra across Europe, Africa & beyond. 🔎

🏝 New paper alert 🔍 Have you heard about Solum, Soror, and Moliones islands?
Check out our latest paper "Extending the Sea-Level Sensitive dynamic model of marine island biogeography to include fusion-fission islands" published in Frontiers of Biogeography (open access)

Being a volcanologist and not a geochemist, I tried to provide “An overview of the geochemistry of silicic pyroclastic rocks of the Azores” and how geochemical investigation can help us better understand Azorean volcanoes

This week I had the honour and responsibility to present the inaugural plenary keynote at the XIV Congresso Ibérico de Geoquímica - CIG 2025 (cig2025acores.wixsite.com/ivar), held at Ponta Delgada, Azores

ArcGIS Field Maps is quite useful

🌋📢 Calling all #tephra researchers!
Join us in shaping this new JQS Special Issue.

"Beyond the #Eruption – Advances and Applications in Distal Tephra Analysis Across the Geosciences"

Deadline: 2 Jan 2026.

🌋 New paper alert 🔍 Check out our most recent paper "C-based gas (CH4 and CO2) fluxes from eutrophicated volcanic shallow lakes in Corvo Island (Azores, Portugal)" led by a team of IVAR ivar.uac.pt recently published in Applied Geochemistry (open access) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌋 New paper alert 🔍 Check out our the new paper "Diffuse CO2 and CH4 emissions of two volcanic lakes on Pico Island (Azores)" led by a team of ivar.uac.pt recently published in the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (open access) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The coring campaign of the ExTRAP project - Exploratory study of Tephra Records in Azores Peatlands is ongoing on Pico Island. We are coring peatlands of the central highlands of Pico searching for tephra layers to help reconstruct the eruptive history of the island. Stay tuned for exciting results!

That's a warp on a very fruitful #IAVCEI2025 week in Geneva, Switzerland! Despite the heat wave across Europe, we hung on strong. It was great to catch-up with "old" friends, meet new colleagues and motivated ECRs. Thanks to everyone for the many interesting discussions about volcanoes 🌋

🌋New paper🌋 Check out the new paper of my PhD student Simone Aguiar recently published in Bull. Volcanol.
Using stochastic modelling to unravel the eruptive behaviour of the active central volcanoes of São Miguel (Azores)

🌋 New eruption has started on Sundhnúksgígar Crater Row (Iceland) with very little precursory seismicity

The authors comment, from a volcanological point of view and in light of current scientific knowledge, on the eruptive events described in the various texts. A “plot” woven with intrigue and power games! Available at Letras Lavadas bookstore in Ponta Delgada (São Miguel, Azores).

The book “O Vulcão da Urzelina de 1808 – Contributos documentais” reflects the joint work by Manuel Augusto de Faria, José Guilherme Reis Leite and Adriano Pimentel, where the authors transcribe and adapt official correspondence related to the 1808 eruption on São Jorge Island.

Slowly moving away from X (former Twitter) and giving a chance to Bluesky. Let's see what's up around here, volcano related stuff and other natural hazards
