Congratulations @MichaelaJDobson what an achievement and such a unique experience for you!!!
We're delighted to share that our PhD student @MichaelaJDobson has been awarded a scholarship to intern at @NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California.
Congratulations @ShreyaKanakiya for receiving the @EnvUoA earth science PhD award! Shipping this small treat your way.
The wealth of data and breakthrough findings have been amazing, so sad it cannot go for decades 😩
The day is coming when I’ll fall silent, ending my nearly four Earth years (over two Mars years) of studying the Red Planet. As my time winds down on Mars, my team is helping make sure scientists can get the most out of everything I’ve gathered.

ALT Photo from NASA’s Insight lander on Mars shows a portion of the lander and one of its solar panels covered in a thin layer of dust. Part of the lander’s robotic arm is visible at the top of the image. In the background, a dusty, rocky plain stretches to a flat horizon.
Nice!! Did Alvarez give you his excellent popular science book as a graduation gift? goodreads.com/book/show/8397…
Fantastic opportunity in Aotearoa! (NZ)
I am looking for a postdoc to come and join our group at Victoria University of Wellington (NZ) to work in the broad field of earthquake science using seismological or geodetic methods and modelling. Check out the advert and apply here:

Long dead marine ‘bugs’ control how the fault slips. Very cool!

Fascinating ongoing research on early life imprinted in stone by @stonehistorian @ScienceUoA
Our first episode of Five Minutes with the School of Environment has just dropped on YouTube! We spent Five Minutes with Kathy Campbell @stonehistorian, an Earth Science Professor, hearing about her recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. Watch here: youtu.be/awgKa09eu7M
With this opportunity from @MBIEsci we look forward towards advancing research to decarbonise Aotearoa. @UCNZ, @DavidEDempsey Mahi Maioro Professionals and @NZPoroLab have partnered with national @GNS @otago and fantastic international collaborators in this effort. More soon…
Grateful to @MBIEsci for funding our endeavour on green H2 geostorage in Taranaki 🙏 Here's a look at what we'll be working on for the next 5 years @NZPoroLab @UCNZ theconversation.com/new-zeal…
Awesome way to learn functions! We should encourage students to post their own math dance function on TikTok 😁
After a two year hiatus, we finally welcomed -in person- prospective students to the @AucklandUni @ScienceUoA open day. Nick Richards did a fantastic work for the @EnvUoA booth, and a big thank you to student and staff volunteers! It was so energising to talk to all.

This is bloody good news - CO2 injection already underway in NZ geothermal fields. stuff.co.nz/environment/clim…
A perspective on some of the big questions we need to answer to advance #GreenHydrogen in Aotearoa being led by researchers at @UCNZ, @ScienceUoA @EnvUoA and Kēpa Morgan.
There's a lot of enthusiasm for #GreenHydrogen. We've written in the @ConversationEDU about some of the problems NZ might need to solve if it wants to get an H2 economy running at scale

Love those rocks and your results! Though not their stinky smell …
Do you find these colorful rocks fascinating? Want to learn what story they have to say about New Zealand’s most active volcano #Whakaari? Come visit my invited talk at #EGU22 on 23rd May to learn more. @EGU_GMPV

I always like when a leading hypothesis needs to change based on new scientific data as @scronin70 discusses here.
What we know about the Tonga eruption, four months on rnz.co.nz/programmes/the-det…
Great discussion from different perspectives on the #HungaTongaHungaHaapai eruption
There is a panel discussion on the Tongan eruption (guests from Red Cross, Tonga Govt and I) on the Al Jazeera English TV channel & YouTube at 08:30AM Auckland time on Friday, 21 January - this will be the live link protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Rr…

Great article by @scronin70 on why the volcanic eruption in Tonga was so violent, and what to expect next. #HungaTonga has an explosive past with a large submarine caldera and past ashfall preserved on Tongatapu. theconversation.com/why-the-…
TC1 School Seismometers in NZ (Taupō-nui-a-Tia College and St. Mary’s Catholic School-Rotorua) record the sound wave from the #HungaTongaHungaHaapai eruption travelling through the air!
Fantastic work by @HrvojeTkalcic and Sheng Wang. Delicious analogy: the look and speed of slicing the cake through its layers in different directions is definitely a cool one! – at Auckland, New Zealand

Croatian and Chinese cakes make news today! Sheng Wang and I published a paper on Earth's inner core @anisotropy in shear, and the cake analogy was used to make the texture more friendly for journalists 😁 @anuearthscience @ANUmedia @scienceANU @SEDI_AGU
Love it! What a great gift, I wish I knew earlier… still a great idea for many other special achievements, even for kids! Not heaps filling the tree, just a special one. – at Auckland, New Zealand
