This is from the Mendenhall River Floods in Alaska.
This happened over a span of six hours. 😧
Can you imagine watching that happen to your home knowing there’s nothing that can save it?

[New paper] OpenStreetMap has data on 500M+ buildings thanks to million of contributors. So how good is it? We provide a comprehensive global quality analysis on its attributes across multiple dimensions (e.g. completeness & accuracy) 🔬🗺️. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2…

Another exciting paper just out (I'm so behind!): asessing past and future eruptions and impacts from the lesser known Bolaven Volcanic Field in Laos. Congrats to @AndreaVerolino and team: Kerry Sieh, Dayana Schonwalder-Angel, Vanpheng Sihavong and Oh Jee Hon.
⚓️New paper alert⚓️: Are there any volcanoes in Laos? Apparently yes...the Bolaven Volcanic Field is much younger than previously thought, with potential of huge economic impact in case of eruption. Paper accessible here👇: rdcu.be/cOcxC

Super excited to share the main results of three years in my PhD at #COV11 (portalapp.pcoconvin.eventsai…) on volcanic ash monitoring, and in particular, towards an automatic classification of the particles. Please, drop by to discuss/chat!

Our work on lava flow impacts at Kīlauea is published! Discover how lava damage isn't binary and extends beyond the channel and flow margin...

Exciting day! Here’s our newly published paper.
We believe that our proposed framework can address and formulate an exposure-informed risk management strategy in megacities by triggering discussions between scientific community and policymakers for a more resilient future.
Average annual losses as a result of evolving seismic exposure could double in Jakarta and Metro Manila by 2030, and increase by more than 50% in Istanbul.

I am in a new role and I am assessing proposals for new #educationresearch and #innovative #teaching, and I have some key thoughts already that I think might help people in preparing these proposals 1/x

Sakurajima, the most active volcano in Japan. It used to be an island but became a peninsula after an eruption in 1914.

Interested in PDC hazards and dynamics? Check out the shiny new paper that just came out with @VolcanoRisk. We looked at the impacts of PDC damage in the 2010 Merapi and 2018 Fuego eruptions and used that to figure out what was happening during the PDC.

Super proud of non-Twittering Elly for getting her first first-author paper over the line! Reconstructing past explosive eruptions at Gede, Java (the most populous volcano in the world!). See here: bit.ly/2Vxp08x
