Setting off to sample volcanic aerosols behind the Fissure 8 vent during the 2018 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, Hawai'i

Preparing melt inclusion vapour bubbles for Raman analyses


In 2019, we returned to Hawai'i to measure the composition of background aerosol sources such as seaspray, wildfires, and traffic (pictured here) to aid our interpretation of volcanic aerosols collected in 2018 during the eruption.
