It’s Thursday, and vEGU Week 2 is almost gone. But we are here, again, to make things easier for you! So, suggestions for the day: let’s start at 11.45 CEST by knowing more about “Volcano-glacier interactions: Arctic, Antarctic, and globally”, session GMPV9.4 (does Eyjafjallajökull sound familiar?). Here, Lamb et al. will introduce us to icequakes on Chilean volcanoes with the vPICO “Discriminatin ...[Read More]
Ready for another day of science? Make sure you’ve filled up on snacks and sugar, because a new exciting day of volcanoes, geochemistry, petrography, and mineralogy awaits you. Get a full load of energy because the morning starts explosively (09:00-10:30 – CEST) with Magma ascent, degassing and eruptive dynamics, in GMPV9.6. (link) Where you can understand more about eruptive processes walki ...[Read More]
After some technical teething problems on Monday morning (honestly is it even an online conference without technical difficulities?) we’re extra eager to get stuck into some of the amazing science being presented today. As with all the sessions so far, most of the presenters have uploaded display materials to accompany their presentations which range from posters to full length recorded talks, so ...[Read More]
Welcome to vEGU21 week 2! If you are a GMPVer, this will be a solid and interesting week of presentations. Each presenter will talk for two minutes, then there will be breakout text chats, and simultaneous live video chats. So be ready to be thinking about 7 things at once… No idea where to go or what to do? Try out this itinerary (all times in CEST): After a hearty breakfast of whatever you ...[Read More]
The 10th edition the Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Petrology and Volcanology Division’s early career scientists talks (EGU campfires) will be on Wednesday 19th May 3pm CEST. Our speakers are: Mallika Jonnalagadda (Assistant Professor @ Savitribai Phule Pune University) – Geodynamic evolution of the mafic-ultramafic rocks of Spontang Ophiolite Complex, Ladakh NW Himalaya, India Jonas Biren (PhD studen ...[Read More]
We are looking back to almost 4 years of GMPV blog history which covered a wide range of very interesting GMPV related topics from how experiments can help to understand volcanic eruptions to what role GMPV scientists can play in sustainable development. Within the last year, however, our blog team grew significantly (you can see part of our members here) allowing us to restructure the blog a litt ...[Read More]
By Emily Bamber (PhD Student, University of Manchester) At this year’s EGU meeting I was invited to co-convene the GMPV 5.7 session ‘Magma ascent, degassing and eruptive dynamics: linking experiments, models and observations’. At first, I felt nervous, as a PhD student who has so far only attended and presented at a few conferences. Afterwards I felt happy to be part of a session which presents cu ...[Read More]
