This is a great advertising campaign to get people to vote in favor of the measure 😆

I think that might be the first time I've noticed a rainbow in the alert cams...

Me, the week after AGU:

Was looking at a company's website and their resources page led me back to a short video I did back in 2017 introducing a then-new electrical resistivity survey planning tool, and the geophysicist superhero stick figures a coworker drew still crack me up. youtu.be/3WK1YJotbfw?...

I really timed today's outings well. Got a bit rained on, but luckily nothing like the sheets of rain coming down now!

Salt Creek's new boardwalk is swanky, but the state of the creek was non-ideal for pupfish observations. ⚒️

Talk about catching some air. Windy day out there! And why are all my uploaded videos getting so pixelated?!

📢 Do you want to do a #PhD using #hyperspectral satellite data to observe climate influences on tundra vegetation in Sweden? With me and @robertgbjork.bsky.social at U of Gothenburg. Apply by 19 Jan 2026. bit.ly/44duvJI

Perhaps a late Xmas/Chanukah/Festivus/Kwanzaa present for some research hot shot currently not in Canada but who might like to move here - the new Impact+ Research Chairs. Note the strategic areas in Arctic, environment, climate resilience and water security. 🧪⚒️ careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/1717054...

Basically my entire feed is now local NWS alerts

Whoah, that wind gust that just moved through west berkeley was huge.

I see blue skies and sunshine, and it is also raining.

Saw this and 😮! But looking at different apps, looks like it's a malfunction -- the Berkeley Aquatic park data spiked and then went offline last night ~3AM, when some of the worst of the storm hit. Hope it not permanently damaged.

Back at Basen* Working out in the field in Dronning Maud Land, the first results from LISA and finally "home" for Christmas..

What a gorgeous day, even found blue skies up in San Rafael.

At some point in the next 48-72hrs I’ll be dropping some 3D printed lidar-derived volcano scale model tissue box covers! Including FIRST RUN Stromboli and Etna and 2nd run Erebus, the southernmost active volcano in world! phaneritic.etsy.com

Soar-er Eclipse. #Photography #ArtAdventCalendar

Forget the crackling fireplace video, turn on the erupting volcano livestream!

"A growing number of scientists believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus may instead be subtly altering our immune systems. If correct, their hypothesis will change how we understand everything from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) to shingles to sepsis." (Aug 2025) www.bmj.com/content/390/...

Moody skies but calm below over the bay. I kept thinking that is was stormy out today, but it was actually great weather for a shoreline meander.

This is hard to watch, altho I think most of it has been brought to light before. The existing US carceral system already represents an unjust, inhumane, racist system. But deportations to CECOT take this to a whole other level, one this administration would like to see more of. Don't look away.

Odd, especially since none of the other businesses in the same building have closed. The stock and service at this store have dramatically gone down hill in recent years. I wonder if this is a next step towards closing it down.

This was an extraordinary sight today. At Dyersville Bar the main fork and South fork of the Eel River converge. After the storms this week, something close to 150,000 cubic feet per second was flowing by. In the summer the river may have only a few hundred CFS. #floods

What do we need? More sea otter photos!

PG&E’s meltdown harmed small businesses, canceled events, snarled traffic, shut down the subway, threatened safety & created medical risk. And this isn’t the first time. It keeps happening. San Francisco has been trying to break away from PG&E for decades. It’s time to make it happen.

Seriously, more PG&E outages?

Support public transit, in all its forms

Kablooey is the technical term, although smaller eruptions are just referred to as "blooey".

No. We need a bespoke tool. That we build. Trained on our texts. Because: 1) we can evaluate its accuracy *and* count on that to continue to be true 2) we're not at the mercy of a 3rd party company changing their model 3) we're not feeding texts (some unpublished!) into a plagiarism machine

About 21,000 San Francisco customers were still without power on Sunday, almost all of them in the Richmond District, after the PG&E blackouts. There is no clear timeline for restoration. The substation fire that seemed at fault was "extensive." missionlocal.org/2025/12/sf-r...

This model is the perfect FAFO tool for students to create a notice and wonders poster that can be shared as a group for discussion and really helps students visualize the relationships and reasons for the seasons.

Bring on the light & changing of the seasons. We need it in more ways than one. #solstice

This is the best thing Nature has done this year.

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout. With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections. missionlocal.org/2025/12/sf-w...

Bad day to be a Waymo (and even worse to be inside or stuck behind one). A widespread blackout left robotaxis stalled across the city, causing traffic chaos Saturday night. Read more: sfstandard.com/2025/12/20/w...

Seems like it's a major design flaw to have your AVs bug out during a citywide infrastructure failure.

Now imagine how downed robot cars would hamper response after major quake.

At the AGU Presidential Forum Lecture on Monday, AGU president Brandon Jones walked on stage to Public Enemy's Fight the Power 🎵. Just a few seconds you could easily overlook, but a 🔥 statement on responding to what's going on in the US right now and our path forward. (Clip from AGU recording)

Proof that I did in fact leave the convention hall for at least an hour during daylight. Once. (2x speed)

Trains are not stopping at Powell St. and Civic Center due to a power outage.

WTF pg&e you have ONE JOB and this is with moderate rain, no wind more like “pg&e outrage map”
