More on the science of the Venezuelan earthquakes from Hubbard and Kyle. Understanding what happened is important for preparing for the future and in other regions as we watch heartbroken at the impacts, rising fatalities and injuries. Thank you to all the rescue teams and humanitarians helping. 🧪

Agree. Hope the Academy can do more to return trust to science and scientists? Maybe more emphasis on translating science for the public, showcasing the positive and important impacts, and why it matters. 🧪

Wanted to add tag @judithgeology.bsky.social. Thanks again for all the quick credible info to help inform the broader public. 🧪

Thanks to the seismologists and earthquake experts, like those at USGS, and Judith Hubbard and Kyle Bradley, that quickly put out the scientific information. It's always my goal to help translate the credible science for the broader public. 🧪

When I spoke to experts for my book Dangerous Earth, it wasn't the unknowns that scared them. It was the knowns. Venezuela was an earthquake time bomb, high risk, dense population, poor infrastructure and little preparation. Catastrophic. Heartbreaking. Warning for other areas.

⚒️ 🧪 A catastrophic earthquake just struck northern Venezuela. Large buildings have collapsed, and the USGS PAGER is forecasting thousands of fatalities. Our colleague in Caracas, Dr. Frank Audemard, has shared with us what the earthquake felt like and footage from the region. Here’s what we know.

Seismologist Robert Yeats identified Venezuela as an earthquake time bomb due to faults, dense population and poor infrastructure. Tragically he appears to be proven correct today 🙁

Tuesday's forecast is worse than Monday's. For those that are Celsius-challenged, 42 °C = 108 °F. But this isn't a desert, and the humidity will make it feel much hotter. Truly life-threatening stuff in France and many parts of Europe right now. #France  #Heatwave #HotEurope

This study is making headlines, some of which are misleading. We've known enough for a long time that stress is building up but can't say when or how big the quake will be. The important point is - prepare and plan now, don't wait until it happens. 🧪 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Great news for us all! Thanks to all who contributed to making this happen and spoke up about the importance of ocean observations.

We've been getting lots of questions regarding the developing El Niño. This should help understand what it is and its impact on global weather and the 2026 hurricane season. Thanks to NASA's Visualization Studio for the excellent visualizations. 🧪🌎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYqo...

There's a lot of misinformation on WHY there are monuments where commercial fishing isn't allowed. It's bc industrial-scale fishing gear can catch & entangle marine wildlife - whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, and seabirds. It also can damage corals if it touches the bottom.

Initial analyses suggest that the 8 June 2026 M=7.8 earthquake offshore Mindanao in the Philippines this morning had the potential to have triggered significant numbers of landslides and areas of liquefaction. eos.org/thelandslide...

Mainstream media's choice to focus on the "middle" rather than the "truth" is the main reason for its downfall. Appeasement and pandering ≠ Trust. Choosing truth over convenience does.

This is bad. Bad for researchers. Bad for science. Bad for universities. Bad for professional associations. For example: 1. Every award would be vetted by political appointees, who could overrule peer reviewers and deny the award if it doesn't advance the president's priorities. 1/🧵

The heat is on in subsurface equatorial waters, suggesting a strong El Nino on the way. Could devastate Galapagos wildlife (land and ocean). El Nino's shut down upwelling, reduce food availability for marine iguanas, sea lion pups, birds, penguins and more. Corals may also take a hit. 🧪
