A great pair of post doc opportunities in cryoseismology working with a top-notch scientist and human! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/31560 academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/31559

Proud to have helped in a small way with this amazing study peering under the ice and back in time!

I know Jack in the Box is a thing out here, but I honestly freeze every time I think to go. What’re the gems on (and off?) menu?

Having just experienced transit in 15 North American cities over the past 7 weeks I can attest that at lot of transit agencies are leaving so much money on the table by not making merch out of this stuff.

New post by me on #MITPressReader @mitpress.bsky.social On the 100th anniversary of the #ScopesMonkeyTrial the ways we depict #evolution can still give an erroneous progressive view (that evolution leads to humans or ‘increased complexity’). thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/is-our-pictu...

One of my favorite bike lane protests: 1) Clearly demonstrates the issue 2) Proposes a systemic solution 3) Creates content that can be spread and shared easily 4) Does so with humor and heart

Good news!! The deadline to apply for this job has been extended to November 24. 🗓️ Get your applications in soon!

Whose ear do I need to start bending to deal with the storm water ponding issues in the Seattle bike lanes?

NOAA cut funding to the Alaska Earthquake Center, directed by my friend Mike West. As a result, seismic monitoring by nine stations in Alaska tracking tsunami-causing earthquakes will go offline by the end of the month. This endangers people in Alaska, Hawaiʻi, and other parts of the Pacific.

Another unnecessary blow to public safety for the whole pacific www.nbcnews.com/science/tsun...

Fellow seismologists, we're going to get a lot of mileage out of the latest @xkcd.com

You can check if your ballot is valid here or if you need to fix it here. Most of the issues are related to a lack of signature or the signature being different than that on your driver's license: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Excellent thread

Machine learning in my field: -does this wiggle match approximately wiggle from a known earthquake or is it from some other source? -does this receiver function meet a particular set of "good" receiver functions? Basically an advanced form of template matching.

Absolutely nobody asked for this but I reformatted my animal yeetability thread into printable poster & zine files. Introducing, the "Pocket Guide to Responsible & Sustainable Animal YEETING" featuring a revamped rating system. Download links below.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

The Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys is hiring a volcanologist who would work with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. A fantastic opportunity to work with great people and study very active volcanoes. Details in link below. Applications close on Oct. 1. ⚒️🌋🧪 bit.ly/3IkqN9n

This is deeply charming, and at a moment in which the rest of the internet feels full of dread and misery, you might need this little pick me up in which the next mayor of Seattle describes herself as “dumpy” and goes to Goodwill for a new wardrobe

Please more transparency like this.

A peek behind the curtain for ongoing analyses of the recent Mount Rainier seismic swarm by @pnsn1.bsky.social in partnership with the USGS CVO. …with a little nod to overtime 😂 www.pnsn.org/blog/2025/07...

Since people are still doing it and I'm going to have time to kill until I figure out what to for the rest of a chaotic week that promises to have lots of little pockets of down time: 1 like = 1 opinion about subducting slabs.

Fresh from the press, so to speak, a result of our #tsunami model based on the specifics of this earthquake (we will update it one we have more model runs). The color code is wave height in metres. The dotted line in the centre of the picture is the Hawaiian island chain.

Full video of the tsunami in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka, Russia, following the 8.7 earthquake. Wave seems incoming and a few meters at least.

A TSUNAMI ADVISORY has now been issued for Washington state. If you are on the coast, stay OUT OF THE WATER & AWAY FROM THE SHORE, which includes HARBORS and MARINAS due to strong currents & dangerous waves. Details here: tsunami.gov/events/PAAQ/... #wawx

On 7/8/25, the USGS & PNSN detected a swarm of earthquakes at Mount Rainier starting at 1:29AM PDT. Currently, there is no indication that the level of activity is cause for concern, alert level & color code for Mount Rainier remain at GREEN/NORMAL.

After 10 hours of debate, “vote-a-rama” (when senators can propose endless changes to a bill that their colleagues then need to vote on) will begin. Submit your ideas for amendments so Democrats can delay for as long as possible with a record-breaking vote-a-rama. 👇

Please enjoy this table of possible future scenarios from a 1990s paper in a peer-reviewed journal on how to deal with nuclear waste storage in underground repositories in New Mexico. I found it while doing research for an article on nuclear waste storage. "WIPP" means "Waste Isolation Pilot Plant".

I installed my first seismometer 9 years ago today! This is one of the five stations I helped @risky-on-rocks.bsky.social install in response to the 2016 M5.1 earthquake in Fairview Co., Oklahoma.

Nice little birthday present - thanks for posting our work on the Journal of Glaciology landing page! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Accepted in Journal of Glaciology! Work co-led with @subglacial.bsky.social testing glacier slip theory in the lab. We characterize new slip behaviors on short forcing timescales, while also finding theoretical models are reasonable over longer periods. www.researchgate.net/publication/...
