How do volcanic systems recover after a supereruption? The answer may lie in zircon crystals like the one I am analyzing on the IMS 1300-HR3 at Curtin University in Perth, Australia. Scale bar (bottom left) is 100 microns. Stay tuned. @OSUCEOAS
With excellent post docs Alejandro Cisneros and Walter Báez using the Cameca IMS 1300 ion probe @JDLCentre to analyze zircons and allanites to contrain the timing of the run up eruptions at volcanoes from Indonesia, Argentina, Japan, Peru, Bolivia, and Saudi Arabia. #OSUCEOAS
Done! A productive week exploring a few more details of the worlds largest supervolcano, Toba. Rainy weather and thick jungle didn't put us off and we hit all our targets. With Indyo Pratomo, Alejandro Cisneros, Tushar Mittal, Axel Schmitt, Martin Danišìk, Gustam Lubis. 1 of 2
For those interested in arc magmatism. This finally came out after a yeoman attempt by the first author to quantify regional eruption rates as accurately as possible. nature.com/articles/s4324… A useful dataset and some interesting insights. @OSUCEOAS@AucklandUni
