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…

Breathtaking satellite image of the bomb cyclone off the coast of California.
So good to finally see this paper out, nearly five years after the workshop discussions that sparked the idea 🫠
Key takeaway: inclusion rates are slooowly improving but there are many places where we have to do better, ideally now
New paper! How inclusive is volcanology? Here are new insights from a global bibliometric analysis by @Tyranakisaurus and colleagues!

Bonus factoid about this paper that was rather mind blowing (until we stopped to think about it at least).
We found more papers just on Mt Saint Helens than for all of Indonesia's volcanoes combined... 🤔
Great work writing up @Tyranakisaurus!
How inclusive do you think volcanology is? In our new preprint, we tried one way of looking at it. We investigated how often locally affiliated authors are included in or lead research about volcanoes in their own countries. #volcano #inclusion

X-axis is percentage of articles including a local author, y-axis is countries with at least 50 articles published about volcanoes located there.

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
@EOS_SG @VolcanoRisk
Don't miss Geoff's talk if you're at #COV11 I suspect it will be an eye opener for many. We've analysed a ton of data to come out with plots like this, showing how inclusivity varies by journal. @WeAreVolcanica leading the pack 👍
Hey #COV11 people! Interested in inclusion in volcanology? We've been studying how often volcano research includes local researchers and how this has changed over time. We really really want your feedback! Come watch session PS4 Monday at 2:30pm Methana Hall. #citiesonvolcanoes11

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.
