Welcome!

To whom it may concern!

This is not my first, but surely my best so far, attempt at a personal website. I intend to keep it updated and make it relevant for many. It is meant to be a professional website above all, but there are two sections where I will post content that is aimed at a larger audience, namely In the Field and a Blog, for which you are currently reading the first post. I will aim to keep it updated as often as possible with things related to research or not. The field section will be in the form of photo galleries and entries there will likely happen after travel. I will used this blog to promote content on my research and field pages, and any event relevant to one or several of my circles: Academia, Volcanology, NAU, AZ, Flagstaff, Friends and Family, etc.

I encourage you to also follow me on Twitter (@jfsmekens).

Here’s hoping I can keep my promises and get you all to follow me!
