WATCH: King hugging it out. King Charles meets New Zealand women’s rugby union team @BlackFerns - and got a proper Kiwi embrace from his guests 🤗 When they asked for a hug, the King replies: “A hug? Why not!” #blackferns 🎥 @DuncanCStone for @itvnews

We are thrilled to announce that Rotorua’s geothermal fields (Ahi-Tupua), Ruapehu volcano and other New Zealand sites have been recognised with "world's best" status in the Second 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites. Read the full story here 👇 i.mtr.cool/iaunrjiyys

First time at the controls! Observers from the Rabaul Volcanological Observatory are getting in some air time at our #GCRF drone training workshop. Building confidence slowly with tasks of increasing complexity, combined with classroom theory sessions @EarthSciCam @UOBFlightLab

This has been one of the most rewarding projects I have worked on thanks to the BOP Regional Council for the support.

New Zealand's geothermal systems are powerful, beautiful, and essential for life ♨️❤️ ...but we can't take them for granted.  🔇 During 1960s, 70s and 80s, Rotorua's geothermal system suffered from overexploitation, and Papakura geyser and many others, fell silent.

New eruption on Reykjanes, Iceland started around 2 pm local time. The fissure is in the same place as the previous eruption, a few km north of Grindavik. Currently ~2.5 km long and may be still lengthening

Due to the absence of further eruptive activity at Whakaari/White Island 🌋 since Sat 25 May, we have lowered the Volcanic Alert Level to Level 2 (moderate to heightened unrest).  Read the full bulletin: geonet.org.nz/vabs/5ETpL5nyX…

Heading into the field with experts in the area is an incredible learning experience. The fantastic @Eruptn tells a beautiful story of how our calderas, faults, and geothermal activity, & people, are linked in our best-smelling city, #Rotorua. Thanks Brad! teawamutunews.nz/2024/04/our…

#CitiesOnVolcanoes12 #CoV12 Such a sad story (if I have understood the Spanish correctly). Several people standing on a bridge observing the eruption of Fuego volcano perished in a PDC because they thought the volcano erupted in the same style as Kilauea on Hawaii, ie lava flows
