There's still time to apply to mentor a student intern this summer! Interns are fully funded for 11 weeks, so mentors can focus on research guidance and professional growth, rather than logistics. Mentor training and support are also provided. Apply by February 15 ⬇️ loom.ly/lQblWA4

We’re hiring a NTT lecturer in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Appalachian State University! We are a big (>300 majors) collegial undergraduate-only department in the Blue Ridge Mountains (southeastern US). See the full job post: appstate.peopleadmin.com/postings/53077

SSA Community Grants are fantastic. I know of a number of workshops (including one of mine) that were funded through this program. If you're thinking of doing a workshop and are trying to figure out funding, you should check this out. ⚒️

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: Electricity and Magnetism (favorite physics class) 18th Century French Literature (in French) Linear Algebra Hellenistic World and Roman Empire Rock Climbing

How to Download and Visualize NASA-ISRO NISAR Data in QGIS | Step-by-Step Tutorial Learn how to download and visualize NASA-ISRO NISAR SAR satellite data in QGIS without coding! This complete tutorial shows you how to use the NASA Earthdata plugin for QGIS to access powerful SAR data.

Woohoo! We're the same as Fairbanks right now! I knew lugging my Alaska winter gear through multiple moves would eventually pay off.

Sample data from the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) L-band imaging radar is now available from the NASA EarthData system. These are preliminary products with some caveats but include an interferogram for the November 2025 volcanic eruption in Ethiopia. www.earthdata.nasa.gov/news/nisar-s...

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

Happening today! Still time to register! ⚒️🧪

Great video about efforts to save a special newt that only lives in Crater Lake (Oregon). The caldera that holds the lake was formed as a result of one of the largest volcanic eruptions during the Holocene (VEI of 7!). An interesting intersection of geology and biology. ⚒️🌋🧪

I'm once again recruiting interns to join our science communication team next summer. There aren't many opportunities like this out there, and we work really hard to make it a great experience. Share this with anyone you know that might be interested! www.earthscope.org/education/st...

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

The NSF National Geophysical Facility will be expanding support for near-surface geophysics. Your input can help shape future efforts for research and teaching with near-surface geophysics! Please take a few minutes to complete this survey ➡️ https://loom.ly/tVEZXlE

OTD in 1912, Alfred Wegener delivered a lecture propounding the theory that our modern continents were formed by the splitting and drifting apart of an ancient supercontinent, which he named Pangea. Due to his failure to offer a plausible mechanism, he was widely ridiculed. 🧠🗃️⚒️ 🧪 #HistSTM #PhilSci

The New Year started with two more M5+ aftershocks to the Dec. 6 M7 earthquake in the southwest Yukon. With strike-slip dominating in the south and thrust events around Mt. Logan, there are likely multiple faults involved. Fascinating sequence. I just wish there were more GNSS sites in that area. ⚒️

Late night (slightly irritated) opinion: You should not have to create an account and then log in before you can submit a letter of recommendation for someone's graduate school application.

On 26 Dec. 2004, an M9.1 quake struck Sumatra, generating a tsunami that killed >220,000 people from >50 countries. A regional tsunami warning system wasn't in place then. There are now more extensive global warning systems, including DART buoys developed by NOAA. 🧵⚒️🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0Mj...

Happy holidays from your furiends at the zoo ✨ Thanks to Keeper Megan and Keeper Ali for the holiday pics!

This is hilarious. That last one hurt, though. I bet the multipath was very interesting. ⚒️🧪

An iceberg breaks off of Alaska's LeConte Glacier, one of the places glaciologist @exploreice.bsky.social has gone to for her research. A melting glacier's edge can be a dangerous place to visit and observe closely, so Pettit uses robots and sound samples to monitor melting ice. 🧊 #PictureOfTheWeek

I deeply relate to this new EarthScope sticker. I deal with brown bears instead of polar bears, but the behavior is the same. Intelligent, curious creatures who are sometimes complete jerks around GNSS stations. ⚒️🧪

On FB, Yukon Geological Survey posted some spectacular photos of landslides & snow avalanches triggered by the magnitude 7.0 earthquake on Dec 6 in the St Elias Mountains. Here are some of my favs. @geocron.bsky.social @theronfinley.bsky.social @davepetley.bsky.social @ksvenenvig.bsky.social 🧪⚒️

Our friends at USGS landslide group have some preliminary results about landslides and rock/ice avalanche that occurred from the M7.0 Hubbard Glacier earthquake on Dec. 6. I remember some people asking about landslides caused by this earthquake. Here you go: www.usgs.gov/programs/lan.... 🪨⚒️🧪

Hi US science folks, NSF has released some policy changes to the document I know you’ve memorized: the PAPPG. Take a look, send me your questions, I’ll add them to our own and try to get some answers. www.nsf.gov/policies/doc...

Make the mountains shake! 🏔️🔥 Each new whitish area on today's Sentinel image below is a landslide triggered by the Hubbard Glacier M7 earthquake (Alaska) on Dec. 6th! 😲 Mostly ice, but also rockslides! 🧊🌊
