@MikeAClare and I wrote an article for @GeographicalMag on the Hunga eruption and how we reduce submarine volcanic hazards for the future. Many people helped write this @scronin70 @marta_ribo @RockDrWatson @DrRebeccaC @TaanielaK and others not on X. https://t.co/f2Gis3CK7g

I'll be at AGU next week if anyone wants to catch up about ML eruption forecasting. Talk on Wed (V31B-06). I will discuss our new work showing how models trained on several volcanoes can forecast eruptions at other volcanoes they haven't seen before.

High concentrations of sea salts were detected in volcanic ash collected shortly after the submarine eruption at Hunga volcano, with possible climatic consequences @scronin70 @LMU_Muenchen

Good to see new post tsunami replacement houses going onto good high ground on Nomuka after the 2022 Hunga tsunami wiped out all the low-lying coastal ones

Oh look / the 2022 Hunga tephra already in the geological record (albeit buried by anthropogenic deposits) - but we see it also at the top of all our swamp/lake cores

🌋 Just when you thought big eruptions were stealing the show, we uncovered some mini volcanic surprises! 📷 Check out our latest research at Mt. Ruapehu #MiniButMighty

Arrived in Nomuka with the team on the trail of past big eruptions from the Tongan arc

Elbow grease got us to around 3 m depth / in a previous attempt I got to 1.25 m (1500 yrs BP) - many unknown tephras in the deeper core - can’t wait to get them on the probe!
Out and about in Tonga looking for more paleo eruption deposits 🌋 in the process our very unique way of coring has led us to deeper material than ever before💪🏼

Coring for paleo eruption deposits from past Hunga eruptions in Tonga - we found the tephra units at ~AD 1150 and AD 200 again - but the record seems to go back longer

Writing up a bunch of Hunga papers and all I see are calderas everywhere - these erupting ones inspired by the volcano risotto of my Milanese wife…

Its not often that I complain publicly about a company - but @Aramex New Zealand has to be the worst courier service in existence - lose packages, deliver to the wrong place, can't follow directions, obstructive customer service and no resolution of any problems.

Hunga volcano's eruption in 2022 was the largest recorded instrumentally & had widespread impacts. Shortly after the eruption, Tonga's only subsea telecommunication cable was damaged - cutting a whole nation off from digital communications at a critical time.
