How about some #volcanic #photos? These are from Nisyros #volcano in #Greece, which is part of the largest magmatic systems in the Aegean #Sea. It is still very much active and likely to erupt in the future🌋.

Most volcanoes erupt both effusively and explosively, but explosive behaviour causes more human fatalities, as the terms suggest!
Here's an article I wrote for @ZMEScience, on #volcanoes and predicting #eruption styles. If you like volcanoes, give it a read. I did my best to explain things 🌋.

Doing fieldwork on #volcanoes sometimes means you get to #hike to remote areas, where people don't readily make their way. You can find yourself in a tight spot, but also in some truly #idyllic places.

It has been 30 years since #Pinatubo, the most recent #volcanic #eruption to impact #climate. @NASA and the #volcano science community are preparing for the next one. @NASAGoddard @michigantech @AmericanU @RiceUniversity @uoregon @NASAEarth @theAGU

What's a "Decade Volcano"? They’re 16 volcanoes identified by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior as being worthy of particular study in light of their history of large, destructive eruptions and proximity to densely populated areas.
Very happy to see this book out; with a contribution by @fraslaw @jgmanning on the #YaleNileInitiative work
