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.

Instead, consider @egu.eu or @europlanetmedia.bsky.social #EPSC, or @agu.org if you really, really need to attend in the US.
We have built a diverse, equitable, inclusive and accessible community for years now. The work is far from finished. Politics will not take that from #academia.

It's been an absolute pleasure to push initiatives, but the battle for our community's diversity goes on! I will retire from this role but will never stop fighting for those who feel excluded.
Our EDI webpage links to some good resources for all of us to do so 👇🏼

Happy it went into the Valle del Above then 👍🏼 And certainly worth a mention as the longest recorded at Etna 😉

Hi Boris, do you have an idea of the length of the June 2 PDC? Longer than the 3km of 2014? Asking for a big paper revision 😉

...and then we went on to Reyðarártindur pluton, with it's roof contact showing hot interactions between granite and basalt in the roofs, even with a conduit and faults in the roof!

The second day the Tertiary Slaufrudalur pluton revealed itself magnificently (low ☁️ are regular here...), an example of a shallow granitic #magma pluton with roof contacts beautifully exposed for geologists ready to scramble upslope 🤩
