Cryptotephra from a ~120 ka Tondano eruption in a sediment core from Lake Towuti (Indonesia) Southeast Asia is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world, yet their long-term eruptive history has been comparatively little studied. In particular, little work has explored the pot....

Last Tues we were celebrating @jinheum.bsky.social’s PhD viva 🥳
Many thanks to examiners @harrietallengeog.bsky.social @simon-blockley.bsky.social for your wisdom & support.
Jinheum also had a paper out [https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3730] & starts a postdoc in 2 weeks.
Congratulations Jinheum!

It was great to visit Oxford to speak at the seminar in School of Archaeology on Tuesday!

Had a good time in Sicily last week giving a talk + having a day trip to Etna! (thanks to photographers)

6 people in outdoor gear stood on ashy ground with a mountain/volcano in the background. It’s cloudy, but clear from shorts and sone bare arms that it is still quite warm.

The same 6 people, this time with a view below into the cones and lava flows on the volcanoes slopes. You can just make out the sea in a bay in the distance.

Documenting this day so we can attribute all the Mt Etna tephra we are about to find in our cryptotephra lab to the correct isochron 🫣🌋🤔🕵🏻‍♀️

Members of the Cambridge Tephra Lab (past and present) are at the Commission of Tephrochronology meeting, Catania - COT24, this week.

Enjoying news from #EGU24. A tad sad not to be in the Cambridge contingent, but cheering them on from home. Check out @jinheum.bsky.social (CL1.2.10 Thurs) on Toba impacts, @yqnatdeng.bsky.social (CL1.2.1, Wed) on lake ecosystem responses to SH westerlies. And…
