As well as Newberry identification, we combine triple sulfur isotope analysis and geochemistry of cryptotephra deposits to put source latitude and plume height constraints on eruptions in 626 and 682 CE – some of the largest volcanic sulfate deposits in polar ice during the last 2000 years.
I appeared last week in our University's internal "Research Spotlight" magazine segment where I was asked about all things volcanoes and ice 👩🔬🔬🌋. Nice to remind myself and put into writing what I enjoy so much about my job!

🚨🌋❄️Delighted to share our paper identifying Newberry Pumice tephra in Greenland ice at 686 CE, and investigating other 7th Century eruptions associated with climate cooling is now available online in Quaternary Science Reviews. 🌋❄️🚨

Huge thanks to coauthors involved in the work @oceanicandrea.bsky.social, Will Hutchison, Michael Sigl, Joe McConnell, Nathan Chellman, @tephrabird.bsky.social and Jakub Sliwinski ✨🌋
Mostly just delighted for this paper to come out as this mug printed with an SEM image of Newberry tephra from @oceanicandrea.bsky.social has been sitting on my desk and nagging me to get on with publishing the chapter since my PhD!
First Bluesky post! 🦋 Great to be at EGU this week! I'll be presenting some (very exciting) ice core cryptotephra correlations from 680-700 CE tomorrow morning in session GMPV11.1. meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... come say hello in hall X2 👋
Our faculty, postdocs, PhD researchers, and MSc students delivered more than 25 talks and poster presentations at #EGU26 in Vienna last week, showcasing the breadth and diversity of research happening across the School.
A fantastic week all around – well done to everyone who took part!
