Graphic from Wright et al. 2025 in Journal of Applied Volcanology, showing that the level of bias increases when data availability and time to plan are low - a situation that characterises almost all volcanic crises.

🚨Exciting new article in JAV by Wright et al. 🚨 on sources of cognitive bias in #eruption forecasting and how to minimise them. The authors present an updated forecasting methodology used by the #USGS #Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP)🌋🏘️ 👇

For those interested in diffuse soil gas emissions in #volcanic areas, check out this new open-access article in #JAV focused on the island of Saba in the Lesser Antilles. The authors identified biogenic, atmospheric, and hydrothermal-magmatic sources of CO2:

**Deadline Extended!** 🌋Our special collection on data visualization and effective communication in #volcanology is now accepting submissions till 31 January 2026. JAV is fully open access and many institutions have read/publish agreements that cover the APC. Waivers also available where needed🌋

Our recipe book is finally published! Have a look at some of the recipes from Tz'utujil Maya women from our "Recipes for Recovery" project.
This work was part of my contribution to the @gcrf-ixchel.bsky.social based at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social as a postdoc.
Thank you all who contributed! 🌱

Monitoring lava lake fluctuations and crater refilling with continuous laser rangefinders - Journal of Applied Volcanology The U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) has developed a new method to continuously monitor lava lake elevations. Since 2018, HVO has stationed a laser rangefinder on Kīlauea’s ...

🌋Exciting new article in Journal of Applied Volcanology by
Paine and Wadsworth, who created a global compilation of fall deposit and ignimbrite volumes for #eruptions >M4. They found little or no buoyant plume component for eruptions of the highest known magnitudes😯👉https://tinyurl.com/44jsepxn

🌋✈️Brand new article in the Journal of Applied Volcanology by Debrel et al investigates changes to aircraft flight paths during ash-rich #eruptions. Greater volumes of airspace affected by ash result in greater deviation of flight paths with longer travel time & fuel use⏬⏬⏬

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu

Ah did the wandering rock make it back? Going early tomorrow for a couple of days, but will be returning to Munich early next year if that's any use?
