Hello VMSG. As autumn turns into winter, we return with a new VMSG Newsletter, positively erupting with exciting announcements and updates. There’s news of our VMSG and Zeiss Postdoctoral award winners for 2025/26, announcements about VMSG2026 and the MinSoc150 meetings next year, including details of the VMSG Buddy Scheme. There are reports from VMSG bursary winners and information on the UK-wide This is Geoscience scheme. We have relaunched the VMSG Discord Server, we have a request for you to get involved with an exciting special issue in the Journal of Applied Volcanology, and we share numerous calls for abstracts for volcanological sessions at conferences in 2026. If there’s something we’ve missed, let me know and we’ll get it into the next newsletter! – Brendan McCormick Kilbride (acting Newsletter Editor)
Congratulations to Dr Emma Watts, whose contributions will be recognised by the Zeiss Postdoctoral Keynote Award this year! Emma was nominated for her outstanding student mentorship, peer support and dedication to public engagement, as well as her recent Nature Geoscience paper “Mantle upwelling at Afar triple junction shaped by overriding plate dynamics”, proving novel in both scale and scope and providing fresh new insight into rift–plume interactions. You can read the nominated paper here.
We’d also like to congratulate Dr Paul Cole, this year’s winner of the VMSG Award. During his many years within the VMSG community, Paul has been involved in pioneering research on explosive volcanism, delivering strong, collaborative academic output with significant impact. This includes work on La Soufrière, St Vincent, both prior to and following its 2021 eruption and successful evacuation. He also provided skilled leadership and management of scientific operations as Director of the Montserrat Volcano Observatory; integrating monitoring, hazard assessment and community communication, as well as broader innovation in hazard mapping, risk communication and public engagement to improve awareness.
Both Emma and Paul shall be receiving their awards at our annual conference at NOC Southampton in January, where they will each present keynote lectures. Please join us to celebrate their contributions & achievements!
Thank you to everyone who has registered already for the annual meeting in January. Please note that registration and abstract submission are closing very soon – 1st December! – so please act now if you’d still like to attend – the link is register for the meeting is here.
There is also an exciting range of workshops and spaces still available on all of these except workshop 3, so do look at those for further opportunities linked to the conference.

I am immensely grateful for the generous support of the VMSG Student Bursary which enabled me to undertake a field trip to Iceland during August 2025. As a chemistry graduate, this was my first ever opportunity to learn field skills for volcanology! I joined a wonderfully enthusiastic team from the University of Manchester led by Margaret Hartley and including Roxane Buso, Bridie Davies, Ben Esse, Bex Hughes, Thomas Pierce-Jones and Alex Riddell.
Upon arrival we met with colleagues Enikő Bali and Simon Matthews at the University of Iceland to discuss ongoing collaborations. Our visit coincided with the ninth eruption at Svartsengi and a midnight walk to Sundhnúksgígar crater row was an awe-inspiring way to begin our time in the field. The visibility of the eruption from the road to Reykjavík was a humbling reminder of its proximity to the most densely populated areas of Iceland. Experiencing the scent of the charred land beneath fresh lava flows and hearing the hissing, rolling sounds of the vent was extraordinary.
Participating as a field assistant for Bex and Thomas, we were able to learn about sampling techniques for collecting pillow lavas at sites across the Reykjanes Peninsula and the Eastern Volcanic Zone. With morale fuelled by choccy milk and stirring soundtracks, we braved rather breezy conditions to acquire fresh material for their ongoing research projects.
During the first year of my PhD, I have been completing a 3D XCT study of vesicle textures within pyroclasts from different phases of the 2021 Geldingadalir eruption at Fagradalsfjall. An extremely worthwhile visit to this eruption site has enhanced my understanding of its broader geological context and significance. I have returned with fresh motivation to finish writing up this work!
At Laki, under the guidance of Bridie and Margaret, I learned how to sample tephra deposits and how to construct the corresponding stratigraphy log. The samples we collected will be used to extend the work of my PhD research and hopefully to provide a project for a master’s student. Margaret’s expertise and fantastically clear weather enabled us to truly appreciate the scale of the Laki fissure and the neighbouring Grímsvötn volcano situated beneath Vatnajökull ice cap. We were captivated by the striking lime green and black mossy volcanic landscape.
Large boxes of samples have now safely arrived in Manchester thanks to our colleagues in Iceland. This incredible experience has greatly enriched my PhD journey. Sincere thanks to Margaret for coordinating the trip and to the support of VMSG for enabling me to participate!

I am grateful for the VMSG Student bursary which enabled me to pursue an opportunity to travel to the University of Cologne in September 2025 to undertake radiogenic isotope analyses (Sr, Nd, Pb, Hf) on Deccan flood basalt samples and to present at Geo4Göttingen 2025 conference. The award contributed to travel and accommodation costs which would have otherwise not been covered within my PhD budget. This enabled me to accept Prof. Münker’s invitation to complete isotope measurements that will play a pivotal part of my dataset for testing whether my samples reflect mantle source heterogeneity or crustal processes.
The visit allowed intensive hands-on training and learning analytical skills from experts in an internationally renowned laboratory in column chemistry and sample preparation (Pb, Sr, Nd, Hf), and operation of the Neptune MC-ICP-MS and using the Aridus setup for Pb, Hf and Nd. I completed multiple chemistry cycles, prepared dissolved element cuts and supported with setup of isotope measurements.
In addition to the scientific data and analytical gains, the bursary supported the collaboration and helped in enhancing my networking and communication skills. While in Germany I also presented my work at Geo4Göttingen, obtained valuable feedback that refined my follow-up plans, and expanded my professional network. As a consequence of successfully presenting my research, I received additional samples from Prof. Münker to further support my research. I also engaged in detailed scientific discussions with peers. The practical experience increased my confidence and independence in high-precision isotope work which will not only play a key role in my PhD research but also underpin a high-impact publication.
In summary, this opportunity directly enabled critical analyses, specialist training and new collaborations that would otherwise have been impossible without the support from the VMSG student bursary, substantially advancing my career as a researcher.
If you spend too much time squinting into the middle distance right now seems like a bleak time for geoscience in UK Higher Education, with multi-directional squeezes on time and finances. This seems paradoxical in a global moment when the skills of geoscientists are what are needed to find solutions across a variety of challenges.
Each institution is facing its own challenges, in ways that can often feel isolating for those caught in their midst. This is why its so particularly heartening to come across a collective endeavour! It turns out one of our parent organisations, The Geological Society of London have been working away over the last year or so, focusing a campaign to improve perceptions of the field, and its career prospects particularly aimed at school age students.
Through their research (looking at a year’s worth of job adverts) they demonstrated the intellectual and economic value of a broad spectrum of geoscience degrees and have analysed trends in degree numbers and choices. They have also spent time talking to the target audience to help focus on what needs fix to help us leap the gap between the need for geoscientists, and the desire to become one!
The graphics here are part of their output, but there is also a comprehensive report and lots more materials for general use and sharing. These can all be found on the ThisIsGeoscience website. This is a welcome sign of all pulling together to help tackle these problems! They welcome more input so please do feel free to get in touch and offer some more examples and role models associated with VMSG!

The VMSG Discord server has returned! Not all VMSG members will be part of large, lively geoscience departments, leaving them scientifically (and potentially socially) isolated from their peers. The mission of the Discord server is to provide an online platform for members of the VMSG community to connect, whether through scientific discussions, sharing their academic journey, or general socialising. Ideally, the Discord server would also act as a virtual icebreaker for new (and returning) VMSG members, hopefully alleviating some of the anxiety experienced before large social events.
The success of the Discord server will depend on it being used by as many VMSG members as possible, for as many different reasons as possible, so whether you’re looking for a bit of company, a bit of advice, or someone to show your prettiest rocks to, sign up, log on, and connect with the community!

We would like to make you aware of an exciting special collection currently receiving submissions in the Journal of Applied Volcanology until 31st January 2026.
The special collection on ‘Data Visualization and Effective Communication in Volcanology: Cross-disciplinary Lessons from Research and Practice’ will highlight effective approaches for visualising and communicating volcanic information: from monitoring data to hazard model outputs, through to risk, impact, vulnerability information, and more.
Our guest editors for this collection are:
Dr Danielle Charlton, Earth Sciences New Zealand
Dr Mary Anne Clive, Earth Sciences New Zealand
Dr Shinji Takarada, Geological Survey of Japan
The collection seeks to explore effective information visualisation, considering the full spectrum of approaches to displaying complex science: ranging from effective maps and displays of spatial and three- or four-dimensional information, through to the use of symbology and information products for non-technical users, and beyond. We welcome articles presenting research studies, case studies, and literature reviews, including evidence for best practice, techniques to identify and evaluate user needs and preferences, evaluation methods, software for visualisation and management of big data, and other topics that support effective communication. The full description of the collection and link to submit an article can be found here.
About the Journal of Applied Volcanology:
The Journal of Applied Volcanology is a fully open-access international journal with a focus on applied research relating to volcanism, and particularly its societal impacts. The Journal was initiated by the IAVCEI Commission on Cities and Volcanoes.
Characterising volcanic impacts and associated risk relies not only on quantifying physical threat but also understanding social and physical vulnerability and resilience. The broad aim of volcanologists in this domain is to increase public resilience to volcanic risk via research that reduces both human fatalities and volcanic impacts on livelihoods, infrastructure, and the economy. The Journal of Applied Volcanology fills an important gap for scientists who want to publish research that addresses this aim and wish to reach a broad audience. It also aims to present research that is driven and led by practitioner and community needs and thus welcomes articles led by, or written in collaboration with, those managing volcanic risk.
The Journal also has a unique Hazard Map article type, which you can read more about here.
The Journal has a number of waivers available for corresponding authors in difficult financial circumstances to reduce or waive the article processing charge (APC). These are available on discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have a possible contribution and would like to discuss this. We have a number of these waivers available for the special collection on community voices. Many corresponding authors at academic institutions in the UK are also likely to have the APC covered under institutional read and publish agreements with Springer Nature. Thus we encourage you to check if your institution is included. Please also feel free to share this information with any colleagues who may benefit.

GMPV10.2: Magmatic crystal textures and clocks: a mineralogical perspective into igneous processes
Minerals are fundamental components of igneous (volcanic and plutonic) rocks. Variations in their textures and compositions are the results of magmatic and/or volcanic processes such as magma recharge and mixing, magma storage and crystallization, mush formation and remobilization, pluton growth and maturation, magma ascent, degassing, and syn-eruptive processes. These processes operate on timescales of minutes to millennia and unlocking the temporal information from various minerals provide complementary record of magmatic timescales. Minerals can also be used to reconstruct the original composition of the magma and its thermodynamic conditions, through modelling and experimental studies of elemental partitioning under magmatic conditions. This session offers a broad overview of these ‘microscopic archives,’ drawing on insights from natural case studies, numerical models, and experimental works. We welcome contributions related to volcanological, plutonic geochemical, experimental, and modelling studies of mineral textures and compositions with linkages to magmatic and volcanic processes and their timescales.

Advances in Computational Methods for Volcanic and Magmatic Studies
The dynamics of magmatic systems are driven by complex processes that span from deep mantle melt generation to surface eruptions. These processes include: melt generation in the upper mantle and lower crust, magma transport, differentiation and emplacement in the crust, complex melt-rock interactions, genesis of energy and mineral resources, and volcanic extrusions with related hazards. Such fluid-mechanical and thermo-chemical processes emerge at sub-millimetre to kilometre scales and second to million-year times, and involve different phases, such as liquid melt, solid crystals, volatile fluids, and pyroclasts. Understanding these processes requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining observations, experiments, and computational methods including forward and inverse modelling and machine learning.
Despite the crucial role of computational methods in integrating and interpreting data from various sources, there has been limited progress in establishing a dedicated community within volcanic, petrology, and magmatic studies. This session aims to address this gap by focusing on computational approaches applied to these areas. We seek to bring together researchers working on forward and inverse modelling, machine learning, and other computational methods to foster a thriving community which complements well established observational and experimental communities.
We encourage contributions that explore the theory, application, and validation of computational approaches in the context of experimental and observational data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Multiphase flow dynamics
– Thermodynamics and phase equilibria
– Magma transport and storage
– Chemical and rheological melt-rock interactions
– Crystallization and degassing processes
– Energy and mineral resource genesis
– Magma-hydrothermal interactions
– Eruption dynamics and hazards
This session aims to provide a platform for in-depth technical discussions that are challenging to facilitate in broader multidisciplinary sessions, ultimately fostering a stronger computational community within volcanic and magmatic studies.

GMPV11.1 – Tephra processes and dispersal: from tephrochronology to hazard assessment applications in volcanology
Explosive eruptions can generate large volumes of juvenile and lithic material (tephra), which can be transported vast distances from the volcano. Depending upon the eruption style and/or the interaction with external factors (e.g., water), the processes involved in the generation and dispersion of the tephra can be varied, and this diversity can enhance, and/or preclude, its effective preservation in the geological record – a key input for hazard assessments. By better understanding the syn- and post-eruptive processes involved in tephra-generating eruptions, our ability to prepare for and mitigate against a wide range of hazards (e.g., impacts on health, infrastructure and the economy) vastly improves, in turn in turn reducing the impact of explosive eruptions on society.
Advancements in volcanology since the early 2000’s have seen a steady increase in our understanding of the way tephra is generated, transported and deposited, and has facilitated a much more comprehensive understanding of (1) how frequently explosive eruptions occur on a global scale, (2) how different volcanic systems behave, and (3) the timescales upon which different hazards may emerge across different regions. Coupled with advances in numerical/computational tephra dispersion modelling, we are becoming increasingly informed of past eruptions and their processes, as well as the tracking and forecasting of current and real-time explosive eruptions.
We invite contributions that continue to improve our understanding of explosive eruption dynamics through the study of tephra emission, dispersal, and preservation; encouraging submissions from a variety of research themes including (but not limited to) physical volcanology, tephrochronology, geochemistry/petrology, stratigraphy, computer modelling, environmental management, and hazard forecasting. This session runs in parallel with an open call for paper submissions to a Geological Society of London and AGU GeoHorizons book volume titled “Tephra: from reconstructing past volcanic eruptions to modelling and forecasting future hazards” edited by Hodgetts et al. Thus, we particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate interdisciplinary science to further expand our knowledge of tephra-generating eruptions and their processes. This session is also sponsored by the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI) Commission on Tephra Hazard Modelling (THM) and Commission on Tephrochronology (COT).

Session description: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/57800
Glaciers and volcanoes interact in several ways, including instances where volcanic/geothermal activity alters glacier dynamics or mass balance, via subglacial eruptions or the deposition of supraglacial tephra. Glaciers can also impact volcanism, for example by directly influencing mechanisms of individual eruptions resulting in the construction of distinct edifices. Glaciers may also influence patterns of eruptive activity when mass balance changes adjust the load on volcanic systems, the water resources and hydrothermal systems. However, because of the remoteness of many glacio-volcanic environments, these interactions remain poorly understood.
In these complex settings, hazards associated with glacier-volcano interaction can vary from lava flows to volcanic ash, lahars, landslides, pyroclastic flows or glacial outburst floods. These can happen consecutively or simultaneously and affect not only the earth, but also glaciers, rivers and the atmosphere. As accumulating, melting, ripping or drifting glaciers generate signals as well as degassing, inflating/deflating or erupting volcanoes, the challenge is to study, understand and ultimately discriminate these potentially coexisting signals. We wish to fully include geophysical observations of current and recent events with geological observations and interpretations of deposits of past events. Glaciovolcanoes also often preserve a unique record of the glacial or non-glacial eruptive environment that is capable of significantly advancing our knowledge of how Earth’s climate system evolves.
We invite contributions that deal with the mitigation of the hazards associated with ice-covered volcanoes in the Arctic, Antarctic, globally and extraterrestrial, that improve the understanding of signals generated by ice-covered volcanoes, or studies focused on volcanic impacts on glaciers and vice versa. Research on recent activity is especially welcomed. This includes geological observations, e.g. of deposits in the field or remote-sensing data, together with experimental and modelling approaches. We also invite contributions from any part of the world and other planets on past activity, glaciovolcanic deposits and studies that address climate and environmental change through glaciovolcanic studies. We aim to bring together scientists from volcanology, glaciology, seismology, geodesy, hydrology, geomorphology and atmospheric science to enable a broad discussion and interaction.

Session description: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/session/57808
Volcanic eruptions are spectacular manifestations of natural forces that dynamically shape our planet. Their impacts spread from the geosphere to the hydrosphere and the atmosphere with the potential to have severe consequences at global scale. Within the volcanological community, forecasting volcanic eruptions remains a primary goal in volcanic hazards and risk mitigation. Over the past decades, the quantity and resolution of observations and the quality of monitoring resources have steadily increased, providing a wealth of data on the underlying physical processes that drive volcanic eruptions. Novel technological advancements have significantly broadened both the spatial coverage and frequency bandwidth of geochemical and geophysical observations at active volcanoes. By integrating multi-parametric data from both ground and space, scientists now gain an unprecedented vision of the surface manifestations of mass transport beneath volcanoes as well as the internal structure from static and functional imaging techniques. This enables the detection and tracking of subtle signals of volcanic unrest prior to eruption, even at remote or inaccessible volcanoes. These advancements have been accompanied by new models and processing techniques including with artificial intelligence and machine learning, leading to innovative paradigms for the interpretation and inversion of observational data (geophysical, geochemical, geological). Within this context, this session aims to convene a multidisciplinary audience for discussing the most recent innovations in monitoring tools and to present observations, methods, and models that enhance our understanding of volcanic processes fostering our capabilities in volcanic early warnings and risk reduction.
