It’s been a busy two weeks! First analyzing my Mauna Loa melt inclusions for volatile contents at WHOI (until a power outage ended my session early), then straight to GSA for a poster presentation to preliminary results from my first PhD project with @Penny_Wieser

Busy Wednesday for the VIBE lab! Alex presenting his Mauna loa poster, then three talks by Matt, Charlotte and myself on storage in Ocean Islands!

Join us after GSA Connects in Anaheim on Thurs Sept 26th for our accessible field trip, "Hazards and Hilltops"! We are thrilled to offer communication in English, Spanish and ASL this year. Learn more an apply for a spot at theiagd.org/2024-hazards-and…
For the fourth time, I find myself in the predicament of moving my rock collection… at least this time it’s not across the nation
Day 3 of #GeoSPACE24!! Beyond excited to join as a TA on this amazing accessible field course. Today we are at Montezuma Castle National Monument, live-streaming @BakingSodaVolc’s lecture to our remote students :)

New paper! These authors look at the 32 km-long Moinui lava on Mauna Loa. They use the olivine crystal cargo to constrain the flow emplacement mechanisms and internal lava geometries. Read more here: doi.org/10.30909/vol.07.01.2…
This week I'm learning the joys of remaking figures from my Masters thesis to fit journal specifications 🙃 Truly a great use of my time.
Mapping some sulfides today with @Penny_Wieser on our new EDS!
Geochemists need to stop saying elemental concentrations are "high" or "low" without indicating what they're comparing it to.

Application window for the 2024 course closes on Jan 12 - just one week left!
We are so excited to offer this amazing inclusive, accessible field geology course online and in person. @AccessibleGEO
This time last year I was exploring the awesome geology of Arizona with the incredible @GeospaceUF programme.
The importance of accessing field work is something I will never stop talking about. The confidence, joy and learning I gained from the experience is incalculable 🏜️♿️

Melt inclusion research is all fun and games until you're crawling on the floor of the lab trying to find the olivine crystal that decided to take flight...

SP Crater works well for us because there are interesting things to study near, far and in between. But we want everyone to be a part of all of
it! We set up streaming video with 2 way audio so folks at the summit could share with folks back a base camp. #geospace23

I gave my first solo presentation at @geosociety in Oct! I talked about the awesome @GeospaceUF tech setup at SP Crater. We were able to talk to the group at the top of the volcano from the base! You can watch my presentation here: youtube.com/watch?v=mzWYUryh…
