the mascot of the gop really ought to be updated from "elephant" to "trojan horse"

Where is @the-independent.com getting this idea of a 1000ft tsunami from the paper they cite by @diatomdura.bsky.social ?? Am I missing something? ⚒️ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Does anybody remember a video a few years ago where CCTV caught a thrust earthquake that uplifted a truck if I recall correctly. I retweeted it with a comment like "1 small step in orogeny" but of course, Twitter is dead, so there no way to find it #earthquake ⚒️

Nature paper finds that 2/3rds of warming since 1990 is attributable to the wealthiest 10%, with 1/5th caused by top 1%, and 8% of attributable to top 0.1%. A reminder that policy must address the outsized impact of the world's wealthiest. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

And another ⚒️ position in Christchurch New Zealand- this one for #earthquake people in #ActiveTectonics and #Geomorphology, Youll be replacing the wonderful Tim Stahl so thems pretty big shoes imo jobs.canterbury.ac.nz/jobdetails/a...

Just spotted a Facebook post by New Zealand defence force, highlighting their medical units training for an Alpine Fault rupture. Good to see them engaging with such a threat #AF8 ⚒️ www.facebook.com/share/r/16mY...

Lecturer or senior lecturer positions (x2) in #EngineeringGeology. Come to Christchurch in New Zealand's South Island.

If you had to wait at a bus stop this morning in Christchurch with no shelter please vote in the Local body elections for candidates who will support more investment in public transport infrastructure.

South African judicial system apparently up to the challenge of holding government to account, pity about other countries theconversation.com/south-africa...

Tour of Flanders day! 🤠🤠 Last year, we made this clip about the Geology of the Tour of Flanders: why are those hills so steep? Check it out below, and have fun today! youtu.be/Sq-AvUHGKf4?...

USA v Trump Loyalty - 1 Competence - 0

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America. This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable. 2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Rockfall at Aoraki (Mt Cook) in the Southern Alps, New Zealand. Will be interesting to see more about this... ⚒️ www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Today I attended the funeral of New Zealand legendary volcanolgist Professor Jim Cole. Remarkable gentle man, scientist, teacher, mentor and human. Vale Jim Cole. deaths.press.co.nz/nz/obituarie...

I never get tired of looking at Poplars Graben releasing bend on the Hope Fault, New Zealand. Remarkable how much detail can be seen in google maps 3D view ⚒️ www.google.com/maps/@-42.59...

If you're an early career researcher - perhaps based in a fledgling authoritarian state - and want an out, @britishacademy.bsky.social offer 2-year fellowships to come to a UK university (including relocation costs and research funds). www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/inte...

People need to stop rolling over and doing what they are told. Superior Orders are never a valid excuse for endangering a life (or millions of lives in the case of the PTWC). I'm sorely tempted to bet there'll be no more elections in the US

Walter Mitty, give way to Donald Mitty Trump. What the hell is going on over there? Just going to laugh!

Start from here, then go back and read the thread. Use as many of the Trump trigger words as possible, in multidisciplinary ways, in US funding applications, just to make things difficult in fascist grant screening.

What happens to all these 'fired' federal employees? Do they lose pensions? Do they have right of appeal?

Nice to see an example of not rolling over....

So, if you want something important but slightly complex doing (like, I dunno, saving data you once had publicly available but have now been ordered to delete) @lavaeolus.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy has some suggestions. safeguarding-research.discourse.group

Example of how to roll over and submit

Why are US government departments just following fascist instructions re diversity, climate, health, etc, and not refusing en masse? Why were plans not in place?

Looking for publications on the glacial geology of Glencarn Lough, Sligo, and the amazing landslides along there, which look like camber blocks ⚒️ maps.app.goo.gl/Qfj6u1Z4sKBG...

What is the earliest allusion to or forecast of increased #wildfire risk in #California under climate change scenarios? I see studies from 2004 but I assume there are some older than that? link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I have now posted my provisional analysis of fatal landslides in 2024 on my blog. In total, 708 fatal landslides (excluding those triggered by an earthquake), cost 4,492 lives. This is far higher than in any previous year for which I have data. eos.org/thelandslide.... Published under a CC license.

Just enjoyed reading this open access article about a morphological study of coseismic submarine canyon flushing. The scale and diversity of features formed is quite incredible ⚒️ pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...

Meanders as wrinkles in time. Every time step in the animation is a 3D-printable object 🧪⚒️

Hello Bluesky folks! I am interested in meeting people working on climate, sea level and ice sheets, especially with reference to the past. Please visit my website for a larger bio! raisedbeaches.net/about/

Interesting paper Haibo, and does anybody know what paper is gracing the cover of this issue of Tectonics?

What is the appropriate response to a review request like this... Answers on a post card please #earthquake

🪨⚒️ #thinsectionthursday of a recrystallized quenched frictional melt (pseudotachylyte) from Lofoten, Norway. Plagioclase survivor clast retains deformation twins, reaction between garnet-amphibole. Garnet cores are full of inclusions from rapid quenching growth, then slow growth to form facet GB🧪 🔬

So nice to see Liz on here! Follow for awesome sedimentary geology ⚒️

(1) This image shows a detrended lidar DEM of an area between Rangiora and the coastline, South Island of Aotearoa. I think this is a very large (c.10km) avlusion deposit (crevasse splay?), formed when the Ashley River broke out of its banks in pre-European times. ⚒️

@davepetley.bsky.social, I just spotted this on threads, amazed at how close the cameraperson remains to the headwall www.threads.net/@frema_shows...

Surely everyone, especially if you use the hammers ⚒️⚒️

@sandramcgeo.bsky.social has set up an editing and communications consultancy that may be useful to some. Good luck Sandra. www.write-edit-review.net

Was feeling a bit rough yesterday and not up for much physically, so I had a crack at trying to make a geoscience crossword. First attempt, so hopefully will improve... ⚒️

just read about this on Jascha's 9 month old post and spent the next interesting hour reading follow up - it seems that they have tried to dewater the landslide and slowed it down but still moving at scary rates! easyreadernews.com/life-on-a-bu...

stunning!

Ok, #ClimateSky, What do we need to make sure we save?

The USA just sentenced the world to a min 4-year term of climate ruin, misogyny, racism, anti-science fundamentalist Christianity bull, not to mention increased wealth concentration. I don't think there's a way back. My kids will pay the price of this fuckwittery

A major landslide disaster has occurred in #Myanmar ( #Burma), triggered by #TyphoonYagi. These two Planet Labs satellite images show before and after for an upland area in Shan State. There are literally thousands of landslides and the river systems are inundated with sediment.

New Zealand's right-wing government considers that tertiary education is a profit making thing, rather than an investment in the country's future. How typical www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

How utterly depressing. We continue to dither, while climate change marches on.

Every so often, I google "why can't I burp?" Then suddenly I discover it's actually a named thing!! But only since 2019... onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Where would I be without an 'undo' button!? #undo #panicover
