If you are attending the 11th IGC Conference in February 2026. Come along on the mid-conference Glacial Geomorphology fieldtrip to the Waimakariri to see landscapes like this... #geomorphology #NewZealand #Christchurch #geoscience #geology #geography #Aotearoa

I know we’re all tired 🥱 But let’s see how many reposts we can get across this app Let’s go ‼️

We are definitely going to be on the wrong side of history with this. We are a country that said NO to Apartheid era South Africa. We said NO to nukes. But condemnation of the genocide in Gaza? That's just too much for our coalition govt. Shame on them.

Quick video about the M7.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia, including an animation from @earthscope.org showing the seismic waves detected by seismic stations across North America. 🧪

This morning's #SolarEclipse as seen from up on Muaūpoko Otago Peninsula, Dunedin NZ. The cloud prevented the full set of images & at regular intervals, but this is kinda fun. (click for full image) #Nikon #Dunedin #DunnerStunner

NZ has now paid 120% of the full cost of 2 next generation, hybrid ferries for *checks notes* nothing at all. Those ferries were on track for 2025 & 2026 delivery. Extra points: our only rail enabled ferry is being retired on Monday & maintenance costs have doubled Should be sackable #nzpol

🌍💫 Geology pilgrimage complete! Just made it to Siccar Point aka the holy ground of Geology! 🙌🏽 James Hutton would be proud!!!

Really pleased to share our new paper in GRL, documenting evidence of multiple Quaternary surface-rupturing earthquakes on the Tintina fault in the Yukon. doi.org/10.1029/2025... @faultydata.bsky.social @earthquakeguy.bsky.social @thatfaultguy.bsky.social @tephrafan.bsky.social

Finally some precise numbers for the Blatten deposit! 👇 11 Mio m3 and up to 32 m thick ! 😱

Awesome find!

The village of Blatten in Switzerland is partly buried by the collapse of a glacier which melted because our greenhouse gas emissions warmed the climate. Another reminder that choosing to not invest enough today to reduce emissions means far greater costs for society in the long term.

Helicopter view published by Pomona Media (🔗 below) shows the lake building up by the end of the day. 5 m3/s is a lot of water. youtu.be/R0YlCNDW2l4?...

Excited to have the first paper of my PhD out in Geomorphology this week, using multibeam bathymetry to explore the sources lake tsunami in active tectonic settings. To find out more visit: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2024.109359 #Geohazards #Geomorphology #Tsunami

The Penguin Book of Penguins! Coming later this year: a beautifully illustrated book about the world’s most beloved bird, written by British Antarctic Survey’s Peter Fretwell @ptfretwell.bsky.social What better day to reveal the cover the #WorldPenguinDay? ⬇️

Here's Temblor's analysis of the M6.2 earthquake that struck the Marmara Fault near Istanbul. This quake was felt by a city of nearly 16 million people, but thankfully, the fault itself lies 15 km south of the city. Read more, in our latest, by Stein and Sevilgen. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

🚨Remember🚨 NEVER try to drive through flood waters - most deaths from floods are vehicle related. You’re also risking others lives and property 😞 Don’t walk, swim or play in flood waters - assume they are contaminated (human and/or animal sewerage, chemicals) or electrically charged. Stay safe ❤️

Cool. Thanks Max

🟧Severe Weather Update🟧 Heavy rain and blustery northerly winds are on the way! The largest accumulations are forecast for the northwest of the South Island where 350-450mm of rain is forecast. This area could still be upgraded to a Red Warning.

Forgot to tag ⚒️ 🧪 I take the opportunity to mention that ~3.2m is the offset localised on the visible fault rupture. It is possible that a proportion of more diffuse deformation must be added on both sides. This remains to be measured.

The middle building is moving a lot more than the shorter & taller ones either side. It’s a real world example of the BOSS model simulation - how an earthquake can resonate with buildings that have matching natural frequencies, and seemingly leave others unaffected. www.LinkedIn.com/posts/mehrta...

Our CEO, Ross Stein, talked with KPIX CBS Bay Area News about the M7.7 quake that struck Myanmar earlier today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfEw...

A M7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar and has caused both destruction and death. The link below includes a short summary of what we know, as well as a Temblor map and Coulomb stress transfer model. temblor.net/earthquake-i...

The Feb 27, 2010, M 8.8 Bio-Bio, Chile, #earthquake was caused by shallow thrust faulting along the Nazca and South America plates converging at 71 mm/yr. The fault rupture, over 100 km wide and nearly 500 km long, spread from 25 km deep, causing severe shaking and a tsunami. (1/3) #OTD ⚒🧪

Day 2 of sleuthing out scarps related to the 1863 EQ east of Waipawa with José from Chile 🇨🇱 . Sharp scarps and possible trench sites. Could a 15 m tension track in 1 scarp be a reflection of 1863?

This is how it is. こうしてこうですっ☆こうですっ☆

Awesome day in the field today chasing scarps related to the 1863 Waipukurau EQ with José Gonzalez-Alfaro. The EQ faulting eventually caused the avulsion of the Waipawa R in 1867

This week we dug a hand trench and augered a 2ndary rupture of the #1855 EQ near Lake Wairarapa. Thanks to Jose 🇨🇱 Joe n Paris. #eqnz

This is one of my all-time NPS visitor center favorite displays is in Death Valley. A simple wood block model showing how crustal extension and normal faulting can create the Basin and Range. Each edge of the block at the end of the motion is a mountain and the low spots are valleys.

In reality, the Nahua peoples who spoke of "Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl" didn't use that name for what's now the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, that name means "the Fresh Water of Chalchiuhtlicue," and it refers to her mansion in the midst of the cosmic sea, to the east the sea-ringed world. I'll explain. 1/

Lassen Peak in northern California is the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range. The flanks of this mountain are littered with steaming fumaroles and boiling mudpots. Lassen Volcanic National Park, California, 04/26/2013. #NationalParks

Sagan was a prophet.

10 years ago I thought I wasn't smart enough to study #geology, but some colleagues convinced me to try anyway. Today I just published my 2nd paper, which explores how fault ruptures can alter river behaviour and flood hazard. Check it out here! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper alert. Congrats to @earthscierin.bsky.social on another awesome contribution to understanding co-seismic river changes globally. Her work continues to inspire!
