Como estamos tan apasionados por los volcanes y el mundo de la volcanología, hoy os proponemos un viaje por los volcanes peninsulares, sí has oído bien.
¡Pe-nin-su-la-res!
¿Pero qué locura es esta?

¿Pero qué locura es esta?
¿Qué te parece si te cuento que tenemos volcanes en Girona, Valencia, Castellón, Murcia, Ciudad Real y Almería? Afortunadamente este volcanismo ocurrió ya hace un tiempo. Concretamente entre unos 22 millones de años durante el Mioceno hasta hace tan solo 10.000años! 
Cada día vamos a hacer un recorrido por la Península desde el volcanismo más antiguo hasta el más moderno, donde podremos observar los diferentes tipos de erupciones, edificios, depósitos y lo que es más significativo, su variedad composicional.
¡Comenzamos!

(1/7) On this #WorldTurtleDay discover the story of Thunderbird, the loggerhead turtle 🐢 that travelled 6000km. Her epic journey illustrates 2 of the major threats that many #marine #species face 🦈🐋 – entanglement in #ghost fishing gear and #bycatch in industrial #fisheries 🆘
(2/7) Thunderbird was found entangled in ghost fishing gear by #SaveTheMedFoundation in July 2020, and taken to the @PalmaAquarium rescue centre in Mallorca 🐢

(3/7) We attached a #satellite tag 🛰️ before she was released as part of the “Oceanographic turtles”, a joint programme by @socib_icts, @alnitakmission, @PalmaAquarium and @ExeterMarine, with the support of @NOAA NMFS 📉🐢
#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.
It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).

French / Luxembourghish sign:
#Hydronym and #hydronomastics both derive from Ancient #Greek ὕδωρ / húdōr (water) + ὄνομα / ónoma (name).
#Hydronyms tend to outlast other #toponyms, even when new #languages and cultures displace earlier ones.
#England, #EastAnglia, #Essex, and #Sussex are named for the #Angles and #Saxons; but #Trent, #Ouse, #Thames, #Severn, and #Avon are older #Celtic and #RomanoBritish names.

‼️ Our new #AlarmPhone Western #Med Regional Analysis is out, 1.11.19 to 29.02.20 ‼️ It documents developments & dynamics affecting the possibility of transit via #Morocco to #EU. Read about our experiences, news from the region & political dynamics.

Recent setbacks & successes: an #ECtHR ruling legitimised a push-back at the #Melilla border fence but on 6 Feb we held a large protest at the #Morocco - #Algeria border to commemorate dead & missing travellers. In late Feb, 8000 people marched in #Ceuta against racism.
Most of the distress calls #AlarmPhone received came from the #westernsahara route where our collaboration with the #Spanish Salvamento Marítimo was good. In the Strait of #Gibraltar or the #Alborán Sea it was more difficult: often cases were referred to the #Moroccan Navy.
1/3 Our new Western Med Regional Analysis covering the latest developments of the migratory route between #Spain & #Morocco is out! Although the number of successful border crossings has increased here, the western Med route remains dangerous & deadly.
2/3 The report contains political analyses & testimonies of people who move from #Mauritania to #Morocco, to the #CanaryIslands or through the #Alboran Sea. It also contains accounts of those in solidarity with migrant travellers, activists & NGOs.
3/3 Read about recent news of #SalvamentoMaritimo pulling out of SAR activities & increasing collaboration with the Moroccan Coastguard, expulsions from Morocco further south, the violent attacks on sub-saharan migrants + more, here: alarmphone.org/en/2019/08/07/…
