Dominica Island invites us for exploration! Valley of Desolation and surrounding - here we explore permeability changes associated with hydrothermal alteration processes. Can we solve the Boiling Lake puzzle?

A milestone in our research is to approach hazardeous sites and implement the lessons learned. This we now start at Indonesian sites, where aggressive fluids change rock samples under semi-controlled conditions. Data at Tangkuban Perahu, Galunggung and other sites visited are pushing our understanding forwards!

Field works creates data, rock samples, which produces more data. Our samples from Mombacho have arrived and go through the processing workflow of petrophysics (Strassbourg team), mineralogy and geochemistry (Uppsala team) and hyperspectral imaging (Potsdam team).

The award goes to .... drumbeat .... Claire! Congrats!

We put our heads together and discussed the results on alteration. Huge success at the first education sites. Thanks for the Uppsala team for hosting us.

Hydrothermal alteration triggering collapse hazards? Mombacho is a study site where these types of alteration consequences intensified recently. We collected samples. And a lot of data. 

What a week! RnR team members could teach and study alterations on Tenerife. We used hammers, drones, hyperspectral sensors and all our synergy to take best data possible. Stay tuned for results !
