Shout-out to my geological aunties in the Other Pond - #AscensionIsland, #SaintHelena, and #TristanDeCunha - who got tall enough to poke their heads above the @atlantic-ocean.bsky.social and then were occupied by the Brits. 😆

Mad props to the #MidAtlanticRidge for being the ultimate makerspace.

Reviewing pictures from previous travels...being held up by a couple of feral donkeys on Ascension Island. Finally I had to give over an apple before they stopped staring at me.

Meet Sam, who wants to understand what is driving inshore shark movements in Ascension Island. Frequent encounters with Galápagos & silky sharks in shallow coastal waters have created conflict with ocean users.

A stunning telephoto image captures the rare double occultation of Venus and Jupiter by the crescent Moon on April 23rd, as seen from Ascension Island. Venus emerges from behind the brightly lit crescent, while Jupiter appears above the dark lunar limb, with its moons Ganymede and Io visible nearby. The faint earthshine illuminates the rest of the Moon's surface.

My #PhD was focused on #AscensionIsland where I investigated eruption dynamics using compositional analyses, #Fieldwork & studies of bubble textures in pumice. I also had the privilege to work on rocks from the 2020-21 eruption of La Soufrière St Vincent as part of the monitoring effort!
Woman wearing shorts and a t-shirt, sunglasses and a cap with her back to camera excavating layers of volcanic ash and lapilli from an exposed section using the flat side of a trowel. View looking up a pumice-scree slope with view of a pumice fall cliff section above. You can see a woman wearing shorts, t-shirt and cap lying down on her back arms spread wide in amongst the pumice scree. An open notebook is next to her right hand.
