When school student Dion got in touch with volcanologist Anna Hicks to discuss the island of Tristan de Cunha, little did they know it would result in a trip to Indonesia, representing Team GB for the Geography Olympiad!

A rare and very special opportunity to conduct 🌍🌧️🌋and 🫂 research on the world's most remote island with me, Donald John MacAllister Leo Peskett and Ryan Pereira iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/u… #tristandacunha IAPETUS DTP

Rounding off our recent awards announcements - it's with great pleasure we can share that the 2024 Thermo Fisher VMSG Award has been awarded to Clive Oppenheimer (Clive Oppenheimer) for his many and significant contributions to volcanology. Congratulations to a very worthy recipient!

A little #science #segue highlighting our work on #TristanDaCunha during my keynote presentation at the #AGEOFinalConference . Our #TristanLandslides project is funded by the @FCDO & TdC Government providing a crucial baseline dataset to better understand landslide hazard & risk

🗣 Anna Hicks (Anna Hicks) from British Geological Survey opens the 2nd day of #AGEOFinalConference sharing her experience with STREVA , working with communities through collaboration and dialogue to strenghten resilience in volcanic areas

What a wonderful few days in #Lisbon at the #AGEOFinalConference ; invited as #keynote speaker about opening up citizen science to include all forms of knowledge for disaster risk reduction. Huge ❤️ for the STREVA and VolcanoReady SVG. Thanks for hosting us LNEC ! 🌋

direction, coastal erosion caused by the continual pounding of the South Atlantic ocean is also a challenge. #FieldworkFriday 🌋Project funded by Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office & TdC Government.

Pleased to share our latest publication on UWISeismic Research crisis communication using #socialmedia during the 2020/2021 #LaSoufriere volcanic eruption!😎😎🌋🌋 Stacey Edwards Anna Hicks richard robertson lyellcollection.org/doi/10.1144/SP…

“Volcanic risk cannot be fully understood without the perspectives of those who experience it.”

Great to hear virtually from Omari Graham at #iavcei2023 ! A reminder of the extraordinary efforts of UWISeismic Research during the 20-21 La Soufriere eruption. A super thesis too, Omari! Wish we could've caught up in person 😔

More outputs from our #TristanMapping #landslides project on this #FieldworkFriday . Created from 2667 aerial images captured using a DJI Air2S, Maps Made Easy & pix4d - a 3D model fly-thru up Hottentot Gulch on #TristanDaCunha . Project funded by Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office & TdC Government

Great to present our preliminary #drone mapping outputs from #TristanDaCunha and the #TristanLandslides project at #VMSG2023 🌋with Anna Hicks and to meet a new and welcoming group of scientists and experts 🙂 #volcanology

We are still #TristanMapping landslides; Anna Hicks and I may have left #TristanDaCunha , but we've been busy processing and reporting🤓. This 3D model fly thru we created from 1,994 UAV images of Wash Gulch shows how the debris avalanche has impacted the Potato Patches and road.

Humbled to receive an OBE🎖 from The Princess Royal today- with massive credit due to my amazing colleagues in Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and across the 🇬🇧 Overseas Territories who I am very lucky to work with.

Such a wonderful day and night! Thank you Heather Handley for making it happen! We at CDR Centre for Disaster Resilience (CDR) we are so proud of you and what you have created!

Welcome home to passengers disembarking the MV Lance this morning. Vital replacement C-19 booster jabs also on board & now safely on dry land. And this is the unique way it gets from ship to shore when you live on the 🌍 most remote inhabited island. Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office NHS England Media

Day 20 #TristanMapping landslides. Our time on Tristan has come to an end 😟. Heading home via Gough Island, we glimpsed Nightingale Island peeking through the #sunset as we steamed south. We hope you've enjoyed following our updates whilst in the field 🙂 #WednesdayMotivation

Day 21 #TristanMapping As we steam east on the #SAAgulhas , we updated folks about our preliminary findings from our #landslide research on #TristandaCunha #FieldworkFriday

Day 20, not #TristanMapping now 🥲. Neil Golding and I are on the SA Agulhas heading off to Cape Town via Gough. Wonderful to finally get a baseline landslide dataset for the island, ground truth the geology and visit/make new buddies along the way ❤️
