First on our list of master's student members is Jacqueline Grech Licari (@GrechLicari). She is a Maltese student specialising in physical volcanology and geochemistry at the Faculty of Earth Sciences at @Haskoli_Islands and is graduating in October (1/4)
@GrechLicari obtained a B.Sc. in Earth Systems from the @UMmalta in 2018, where she evaluated #tsunami impacts on the NE coast of Malta. She joined us in 2019 after conducting #scicomm at @EsploraMT (2/4)
Her thesis investigated shallow conduit processes, volatile behaviour & transport-deposition mechanisms of the #explosive phases of the 1211 Yngri Stampar #eruption in #Reykjanes. She was supervised by @ThorvaldurThor4, @volcano_will, Prof. Enikö Balí & Prof. Bruce Houghton (3/4)
As of 2023, Jacqueline will start a PhD at @WellingtonUni in #NewZealand, where she'll research the eruptive histories of Mayor & White Island, under the supervision of @VolcanoSimon. Until then, she'll assist us via fieldwork & #scicomm at the #Fagradalsfjall eruption site (4/4)

Except for continuous degassing, no activity was observed at the vents since 6am of 21/08/2022. It is likely that eruption from the vents is over. But, any of 2-3 scenarios could be unfolding. More info 👇(1/7)
The eruption lingered on throughout the night of 20/08/2022. The glow from the northern vent, and from the lava creek flowing out of the lava pond to the SE, lit up the gas plume that rose from the crater. The glow from the lava creek diminished during the night. (2/7)
The northern vent maintained a glow until daybreak yesterday (i.e., until 4am on 21/08/2022). At around 5am, this vent ejected glowing magma blebs (spatter bombs) in several discrete explosions, over a period of 15 minutes. The bombs breached the crater rim (photo). (3/7)
