The post is about the powerful floods that could result from a subglacial eruption at B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga.\u00a0 Ed describes how the current J\u00f6kuls\u00e1 \u00e1 Fj\u00f6llum canyon was produced by giant floods of the past.\u00a0 His research into this was published this month<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

- \u00a0Easily plot data on Google Maps background with the QGIS OpenLayers plugin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
QGIS is an open source GIS package that’s especially great for putting together maps for printing.\u00a0 It’s also really quick to import data from a csv file or spreadsheet.\u00a0 The OpenLayers plugin loads maps from online sources e.g. Google Satellite, Open Street Map, Bing Aerial that you can use as a background.<\/em><\/p>\n

- Fieldwork guide for robots (and humans)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This post outlines the routine that I follow at each sample site in the field.\u00a0 It describes how to use handheld GPS (or smartphone GPS tracking app) alongside a normal camera to geotag your photos and logs, using the <\/em>gpsbabel and <\/em>GpsPrune software<\/em>.<\/p>\n

- Easily plot magma compositions (TAS diagrams) in Python<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A handy script for anyone working with geochemical data for igneous rocks.\u00a0 It adds fields with the names of different magma compositions to plots of Total Alkalis vs Silica.<\/em><\/p>\n
Pretty picture<\/h3>\n
The sole purpose of the (Almost) 3D picture of H\u00e1ifoss waterfall<\/a> post was to share this picture\/illusion, because I think it is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Highlights from 2011-2013<\/h3>\n
A list of all posts from 2014, and in fact since the blog began, can be found on the Every Post Ever<\/a> page.\u00a0 I’ve also picked out highlights from each of the previous years so far in the following posts.<\/p>\n

- Three years of volcan01010<\/a><\/li>\n
- Two years of volcan01010<\/a><\/li>\n
- One year of volcan01010<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Progress since last year<\/h3>\n
The B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga eruption was a big help in bringing people to volcan01010.\u00a0\u00a0 Over 1,000 people visited the site during one day when the eruption began.\u00a0 The blog had 58,000 page views in 12 months, compared to 28,000 last year.\u00a0 Most of the traffic is still from the UK and USA and there is a steady flow to the software posts.\u00a0 The Mail Online don’t need to worry about competition from me yet, but it is nice to see traffic increasing.\u00a0 I’ve managed to keep posting about once a month.\u00a0 The Twitter account<\/a> now has 1902 followers (up from 881 last year), lots of whom joined back when the eruption began in September.<\/p>\n
