Multi-tasking at its best… looking at the fate of tellurium in contaminated soils using the European synchrotron in Grenoble, keeping in touch with footy, all from the safety of our lockdown in Melbourne! Makes for interesting logbook… @MonashEAE @esrfsynchrotron

Day 63: I don't think "comet" porphyroclasts are an accepted term in structural geology, but this is an example of one. I'm not sure exactly how these form and I've only ever seen this one. This is in a mylonite from the Pichao shear zone NW Argentina #100daysofgeoscience

Day 55: A mylonitic granite. I wonder if the rectangular porphyroclasts started as a longer leucocratic layer that boudinaged into pieces…? Or can rectangular porphyroclasts from naturally from granitic phenocrysts? Any ideas? #100daysofgeoscience

Check out my new paper in Tectonophysics, integrating EBSD and volatile/trace element geochemistry of cratonic xenoliths impacted by flat slab subduction. Aside from the geology story, we really milked these EBSD datasets for every drop of new data! authors.elsevier.com/a/1dlsp…

New mineral alert! My first new mineral, wildcatite, is officially published - a calcium iron tellurate hydroxide, CaFeTeO5(OH). It is named for the small gold prospect in which it was found, Wildcat prospect in Utah, USA, which I visited in 2018. doi.org/10.3749/canmin.20000… (1/7)

Really excited to share the @ConversationEDU article on #volcanic #filters in #ocean #island #hotspot #volcanoes 🌋 Great #scicomm experience with @mikehopkin !!🤗 theconversation.com/there-sh… #UQmagmateam @UQ_News @UQ_sees @srap_ieap @ScienceAU @geosociety @VIPSCommission @WOMEESA

There she blows: the internal ‘magma filter’ that prompts ocean island volcanoes to erupt

A previously unknown filtering process inside some volcanoes can cause magma to shoot out like champagne from a bottle - and perhaps even make it easier to forecast when a volcano is about to erupt.
