From the #Med to #Tibet, #geodetic strainrates sometimes match, and sometimes don't, what #earthquakes tell us. #open #science reanalysis of GNSS data by Castro Perdomo et al. in @agu.org's JGR-SE. Figures are so pretty, as if I made them myself. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/DX5BNA...

Packing up our deployment in Northern Chile, bittersweet.

Cool summary of related craton dynamics problems including our paper by @scishow.bsky.social youtu.be/uMhEjGzxHJE?...

Geophysics is serious business.

Intermediate depth earthquakes can cause destructive shaking in Chile, and may mixed mode rupture. Study led by Jia on the 2024 Calama 7.4 with a number of our Chilean friends, including our field team Bertrand Potin, Sergio Ruiz, Juan Baez, and Marcos Moreno. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Not saying but at least it looks nice.

Thanks Princeton University Press, students and colleagues for helping us make this textbook happen. Available widely in November. #tectonics #geodynamics #earthquakes press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Most excellent workshop with our NNW colleagues and part of the MTMOD crew. Onward in figuring out physics based seismic hazard models. Thanks to Jamie Howarth and his crew.

Awesome start to the NNW-MTMOD meeting on fault dynamics and seismic hazard in St Arnaud. Also Captin Underpants on white board (why?)

These stunning animations from the USGS and NOAA show modeling of the earthquake waves and tsunami waves generated by the M8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia. 🧪

Intriguing earthquake volcano connection like discussed for Fujisan. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more coupled conduit - seismic wave models to mess around with… www.bbc.com/news/article...

#NISAR will take 90 days to perform commissioning tests & reach its science orbit. “But as we progress, we’re going to get little peeks behind the curtains...It’s going to be transformational.” —Alex Gardner, JPL eos.org/articles/tra...

Four hours after the arrival of the first #tsunami wave at Crescent City CA, as shown by this tide gauge record, more than thirteen hours after the M8.8 Kamchatka #earthquake, the wave height again reached almost 1 meter, not that much lower than the maximum of 1.1 m almost three hours earlier. 🧪⚒️

Love the cautious optimism of Deutsche Bahn…

"In the letter, the signatories warned that National Science Foundation grants now underwent a 'covert and ideologically driven secondary review process'...” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/s...

NASA employees have released their own 'dissent' letter, joining NIH and EPA employees in protesting agency changes in the Trump administration. They call it the Voyager Declaration. Words by me: 🧪🛰️ www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Join us for session DI012 – Seismic Anisotropy from Surface to Core at AGU 2025, in New Orleans. The session will feature presentations by our invited speakers, Gianmarco Del Piccolo and Xiongwei Liu agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/pr... #seismic_anisotropy #agu25 #new_orleans

In the next few months, Japan will finish work on an instrumented network of seafloor cables and wire it directly into a national early warning system. Learn more: scim.ag/44FXkxI

Dylan in ATX. Or maybe Timothée Chalamet. I can attest to a Dylan sounding person behind the piano.

Meaning, for example, N = 2, once all is said and done. Does make you wonder.

US Earth Science people: Our June webinar felt so good, we’re making it a series. Join us next Tuesday 7/15 (and again in Aug & Sept) to hear from NSF staff and to get (most of?) your questions answered. www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-d...

Great to have John Aiken at UTIG to talk about solid fluid interactions and new code development paradigms leveraging AI

I cannot express to you the hours, days, YEARS that went into these images across Rubin. They are spectacular. And truly just a peek. It has been the wildest few months of my life getting my small piece, the social media, ready for this. You're not ready for 11am. ls.st/rubin-first-look-livestream

#computational #geoscience jamboree in Breckenridge CO this summer. One more day to submit abstracts and apply for EC funding to attend the #CIG meeting. Science includes earthquakes, landscape evolution, subduction zone fluid transport and more! geodynamics.org/events/detai...

The LI-900 silica tiles used on the Space Shuttle were such poor heat conductors you could grab them with bare hands seconds after pulling them from a 2200 degree oven. Full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9Y...

US Earth Scientists: We know you have questions, come get them answered directly from NSF/EAR POs! Tuesday, June 17, 2p Eastern. Register here: www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-d...

Nominations open, and some awards are waaaay undersubscribed

Great time back at JAMSTEC, science discussions and awesome toys

New preprint from our team on Graph Neural Network Simulators as surrogates for dynamic rupture propagation, Bayesian inference, and exploring the physics of the mapping from fault stress state to earthquake scenarios. doi.org/10.22541/ess...

One more month to submit abstracts for the upcoming CIG meeting

Still amazing to me that the change in Earth's ellipticity (dJ_2/dt) shows GIA and recent melt contributions. New constraints for time series here agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New preprint on Tethyan belt crustal deformation and lithospheric dynamics based on a comprehensive new GNSS based model, led by Nicolás Castro-Perdomo doi.org/10.22541/ess...

A nice summary of our team effort synthesizing the role of mantle convection for closing the Tethyan seaway and perhaps contributing to mammal migration patterns. www.jsg.utexas.edu/news/2025/04...

geology has the best words “the craton” “dripping lithosphere” “subducting slab” incredible work all around

We are rebooting the biannual computational geoscience and geoydnamics meeting - please join this CIG sponsored event in Breckenridge CO this summer - EC support available. geodynamics.org/events/detai...

Did Gomphotheria follow northward flow of mantle plume material when first migrating to Eurasia? Find out in Straume et al, with @thwbecker.bsky.social, @alexislicht.bsky.social, myself @gfz.bsky.social & others, in @natrevearthenv.bsky.social. For 1-minute summary: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDeL...

New full waveform imaging for the mantle underneath North America shows craton dripping induced by past subduction (we think). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Huge congratulations to my long-term friend and colleague Ahmed Elbanna @mcslabuiuc.bsky.social on becoming the next Director of SCEC! Super excited to be part of the next chapter of SCEC with Ahmed’s leadership, expertise, and deep passion for earthquake science www.scec.org?mailpoet_rou...

Satellite radar reveals California’s hidden risks. Scientists mapped coastal land motion, finding sinking in cities & beaches and uplift in oil & gas regions. Some areas face double the expected sea level rise! #RemoteSensing #CoastalChange - www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-le...

FYI, if you or your grad students are working on FINESST proposals, NASA just extended the deadline until Feb. 26. There appear to also be a few other amendments/updates to the solicitation. nspires.nasaprs.com/external/sol...

Two more weeks to submit to COMPSAFE2025 July 1-4, 2025 at Kobe, Japan. Topics include minisymposia for HPCC for environmental and natural hazard assessment and risk mitigation. A great way to engage with those working on translating science to solutions. www.compsafe2025.org/conference_t...

Please join NSF Program Officers from the Division of Earth Sciences for office hours. Program Officers will answer your questions and share information about opportunities for funding and opportunities to get involved. There are four office hours scheduled: 1/3
