Lava fountains, pyroclastic flow and lightning during the latest paroxysmal eruptive episode at #Etna, 24 February 2021 Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Dr Melissa A Pfeffer & Dr Sara Barsotti from IMO carried out gas measurements in Reykjanes. Despite the ongoing seismic swarm for the last 24 hrs, no increase of gases was detected. Another field campaign is being prepared & the area is under strong surveillance. #EUROVOLC Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Grand day for a master class from Florian Le Pape on the @dias_geophysics ocean bottom seismometers. We'll be deploying these as part of the @iCRAGcentre survey led by Andy Trafford & Shane Donohoe @ucddublin to develop a fibre-optic approach for offshore site investigation Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
An example of selected schools for @AtSeismo are inviting students from nearby schools to share earthquake-related knowledge, thanks to high-motivated students and teachers. Good to see knowledge is transferring into the community. @SubediShiba1 seismoschoolnp.org Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Earthquake swarm began this morning close to Fagradalsfjall. An M5.7 earthq. occurred at 10:05 many aftershocks followed. Info will be updated when activity has been reviewed further. Activity is within the Reykjanes peninsula. Other locations of large earthquakes are unreliable. Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
A seismic swarm is shaking the Reykjanes peninsula, the volcano-tectonic episode close to Grindavík is still ongoing. Several earthquakes of ~M5 have taken place for the past hour. The 10:05 earthquake has been calculated Mw5.65. en.vedur.is/earthquakes-an… Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Results from the real-time #GPS #analysis from station SENG 12km SW of the epicenter of the Mw5.65 #earthquake this morning at 10:05 local time showing 3cm southward motion. #EUROVOLC #volcanichazard #volcanicrisk #volcanos Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics

Happy #ValentinesDay. Here's more #ScienceValentines by @Squidfan Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Includes an ESR position @dias_geophysics with Prof. Chris Bean and myself @GeosciencesEd looking at ground motion and unrest triggering at volcanoes spin-itn.eu/esr41/ - including at Sierra Negra volcano in the Galápagos Islands. Application deadline 31 March 2021 Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Looking for a PhD in #seismology? Help build the future of seismology by joining an exciting research & training network of leading European institutes: spin-itn.eu Now recruiting 15 PhDs in a new #MSCA #ITN 'SPIN' focusing on new sensors and geohazard monitoring! Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience! Anyone can be a scientist, and we will always support you where we can on your geoscience journey. Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Dolines or sinkholes are the most common karst landform found in karst landscapes. We have over 11,000 recorded in our karst database #IYCK #karst Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
The European Catalogue of #Volcanoes (volcanos.eurovolc.eu) has been updated! #EUROVOLC team has created a reliable source of #volcanological info, available on an interactive web-page. Features such as eruption search, #tephra database & event trees have been improved. Enjoy! Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
Today marks the 'International day of Women and Girls in Science'. Below you can meet some DIAS's past and present women leading innovation and empowering women and girls across the world! Our CEO Eucharia Meehan will be chatting with @HeritageHubIRE later today on this topic Retweeted by DIAS Geophysics
#Otd 1846: #Dublin's Robert Mallet, FRS, MRIA presented ‘The Dynamics of Earthquakes’ to @RIAdawson. This @tcdalumni geophysicist & civil engineer used dynamite explosions to measure the speed of elastic waves in surface rocks, pioneering & coining eg 'seismology' & 'epicentre'!
