¿Qué nos cuentan los piroxenos de #LaPalma sobre el sistema magmático de #CumbreVieja? Articulo de divulgación en español sobre nuestro último trabajo en @es.theconversation.com por @albertocaracciolo.bsky.social @teresaubide.bsky.social, Mónica Ágreda Lopez y Álvaro Márquez.
La erupción de 2021 todavía aporta conocimiento a los investigadores sobre cómo funcionan los volcanes. Un estudio recién publicado muestra que los patrones han sido similares a lo largo del tiempo.

🌋 New paper out!
We explore temporal evolution of magma storage beneath #LaPalma, using clinopyroxene chemistry, LA-ICP-MS maps & clustering, revealing deep crystal mushes repeatedly remobilized by mafic magma.

Recurrent evacuation of mantle mush in ocean islands revealed by clinopyroxene from La Palma - Nature Communications
Historical eruptions at La Palma repeatedly involved hot magma mobilizing a deep, cooler crystal-rich reservoir, highlighting a process potentially common to ocean island basalt systems.

A wonderful week of #fieldwork in La Palma 🌋
Back at home after an incredible week of #fieldwork in La Palma #LaIslaBonita! All lava flows, basalts, phonolites, enclaves of all flavours... learning a lot with the best company, @falladamente.bsky.social @albertocaracciolo.bsky.social and Álvaro! Y mucho #barraquito... ⚒️ 🌋

Leaving Iceland for now, along with the Reykjanes eruptions! However, I am happy to share that I have started a postdoc at the University of Perugia, working with Maurizio Petrelli and collaborators on the 2021 La Palma eruption 🌋

This photo shows the November 2024 eruption at Sundhnúksgígar after a day of activity, when most lava flowed west. White smoke comes from the Svartsengi geothermal power plant, and black smoke from the burning Blue Lagoon parking lot. The barriers are doing a great job protecting the infrastructure
