Preliminary NLL-SC relocation of M7 Dec 6 #Alaska #Yukon Hubbard Glacier #earthquakes and seismicity since 2020. Hubbard events fall in void in earlier seismicity, show clear SE-NW trend, and suggest main rupture was ~vertical (strike-slip?) at SE and complex or dipping (toward NE??) to the NW.

Today's shallow M7 #earthquake near the Yukon-Alaska border has produced more than 60 #aftershocks (some as large as M5.1) during the first 5 hours. Live #shaking from a seismic station at Haines Junction (YT) shows a steady stream of aftershocks: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/stndon/wf-fo... ⚒️🧪

New! We study the disruptive 2025 earthquake unrest near #Santorini using machine-learning derived seismicity as virtual stress meters at depth. We show the unrest was due to a magma dike intrusion, imaging in detail a complex, rebounding process of dike propagation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our latest study in Nature, together with colleagues from @geomarkiel.bsky.social and universities from Greece, shows what happened beneath Santorini earlier this year when tens of thousands earthquakes shook the islands and the seafloor. It was magma. We also have 1/2 www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

Quick map of M7.3 earthquake offshore the Alaska Peninsula. Today's earthquake (green) has a very similar focal mechanism to the M7.8 2020 Sand Point event, which was dominantly strike-slip but caused a tsunami. Based on depths of mainshock and early aftershocks, could be an upper plate event. ⚒️

The whole #MyanmarEarthquake rupture in one interferogram! This is three consecutive wide swath frames of ALOS-2 data, provided by JAXA through agreement with NASA. The line-of-sight (LOS) is ~perpendicular to fault strike, so most of what you see is vertical motion at bends and steps of the fault.

High resolution MAXAR satellite image reveals the #Myanmar #earthquake surface rupture north of the town of Sagaing. It is close to epicenter and N tip of the >400km long rupture. Right-lateral offset of ~3.2m is clearly illustrated by the distorsion and lateral shift of a dirt road striking E-W.

NASA JPL ARIA project analysis of data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 radar images measured the slip on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Quick preliminary map. More details later. Fault ruptured about 500 km (300 miles) in the magnitude 7.7 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Remote surface rupture observations for the M7.7 2025 Myanmar earthquake - soft rollout! doi.org/10.5066/P1RY... Simple fault trace and slip distribution from pixel tracking, high-res from available imagery. Watch for updates! ⚒️ USGS and collaborators effort led by @nadinegrr.bsky.social 🙏

The latest models from the USGS show slip, and associated strong shaking, extending much further to the south. Here I have plotted contours of estimated shaking over a map of population density. Note that the fault runs south through a narrow valley that is densely populated. ⚒️ 🧪 Myanmar earthquake

Cross-section of slip distribution by the USGS for the M7.7 Myanmar earthquake. Slip occured along the distance of about 250 km, maximum ~horizontal slip of 5.1 meters. ⚒🧪

Looking at the historical earthquake map and the preliminary USGS slip model below, it seems today's large earthquake filled partly the gap between 20 and 22 degrees North latitude.

Sunday update. Seismic activity has decreased significantly since last Thursday, but it hasn't stopped. To be continued ... #Santorini #Amorgos

🧪⚒️ The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation. Read more:

Moment magnitudes and corner frequencies calculated for 437 events from the Santorini crisis (Ml>3.5, Jan 24 - Feb 13) using SourceSpec. Big thanks to the EIDA node of the National Observatory of Athens for keeping their services online during this critical period. sourcespec.seismicsource.org

Seismic activity NE of #Santorini has decreased dramatically over the last 24 hours. This behaviour is similar to that observed in SW Iceland in March 2021 and August 2022, where seismicity almost stopped after the eruption began.

Hi Seismo-Bluesky! I decided to test a pipeline with SeisBench, PyOcto, NonLinLoc, and HypoDD on the Santorini sequence. The level of activity (>4,500 events) is truly stunning! There are repeated bursts migrating backwards and forwards, spreading outwards from a narrow, almost linear channel.
