Here's the @auscope.bsky.social Seismometers in Schools recording this morning's M7.8 Kamchatka earthquake. Data and network visualisation is from SRC's Seismosphere. The 24-hour single station view from Nhulunbuy in the Northern Territory shows the seismometer detecting the earth ringing for hours!

The reason I started saying this is b/c many of my students haven’t had opportunities to actually think for themselves or collaboratively come to consensus to shape an idea. I blame this on k-12 standardized tests/worksheets and poor/uneven implementation of NGSS (what science ed *should* be).

Great to see this new work by Sam Mitchinson published this week! He quantified the uncertainty in expert classification of volcano seismic events, with important implications for ML model accuracy. 🌋

Modern spectrograms are awesome but there is just something so cool about older ones like this.... Liu (1985) the signal from the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mt St Helens in China!

The best way to start the day is with an email from someone saying they are using your research. 🥰

Everyone writing about Perseverance today should be asking how many of the scientists and engineers who were involved in this discovery no longer work for NASA bc of Trump.

Very excited that my new earrings came this morning! These are custom from cursivecraft.co.nz I love them!

Natasha Kozyreva, treasured Alaska Earthquake Center family member, passed away on August 30th. She leaves an enduring legacy. Researchers using our catalog are working with data shaped by Natasha’s careful hand. Read more about her: https://earthquake.alaska.edu/staff-spotlight-natasha-kozyreva

Pro tip: keep a document of ideas for projects and papers. BUT split them into things YOU want to do vs. something SOMEONE should do (you would be ok not being involved). You can also have a list of things that would be a good student project. Then when you have an idea it has a home.

My email to the amazing scientists I was working with at NOAA to locate things in the archive bounced as undeliverable. 💔

Seriously excited about the lineup we have for #TeamInfrasound at #AGU this year. Its going to be a different mix (obviously) but still a very strong set of talks. Just in case you need a little bright spot today!

Snap, crackle and pop! Love the booming explosions from the summit vent in the background.

Hark! Is that a mineral list I spy? www.mineralcup.org/2025/mineral... Lots of new contenders this year as we increase to 75% turnover for #MinCup25.

Made a figure. Questioned the figure. Spent all day recalculating and replotting. Original figure was correct. #science

From AEC over on X: The seismic data from before the Tracy Arm Landslide sped up so you can hear it. 🧪⚒️🪨 youtu.be/8_DZqYrlp4A?...

What happens when you fall down the volcanogenic atmospheric gravity wave rabbit hole? This is what happens. Volcanoes punching the atmosphere (thank you @olamb245.bsky.social for the company in the rabbit hole)

I received a comment about feeling like we're getting more magnitude 6+ earthquakes lately. It's funny how recent news can influence our perceptions. Here's global M6+ earthquakes for the last 25 years, and zoomed to the last 3 years. It's human nature to look for patterns. What do you see?

This is from AGU last year -- number of volcanoes erupting on each day from the GVP. The point I was making is that it was stable the approximate last 10 years, but there was a big jump around 2000 thanks to improved detections of eruptions from MODIS and other satellite sensors.

This looks consistent with (official) reports of 10-20 m run-ups in Kamchatka/Okhotsk. With complex topo/bathy short wavelength features like the waves seen here can develop and superimpose on the long period tsunami. We've seen this in other places. Time will tell if this can be verified

This is tide gauge data from the Chatham Islands, ~700 km east of New Zealand. The tsunami arrived ~14-15 hours after the earthquake and we recorded a tsunami of around 20-30 cm. The tsunami also travelled to South America and reflected back towards New Zealand.

This should be a very useful webinar on USGS water data API changes, part of their wide-scale multi-year national water information system modernization efforts. USGS doesn't always do a great job of educating about how to access and use their data, so @cuahsi.bsky.social has you covered! ⚒️🧪

#EarthquakeReport for the M 8.8 #Earthquake offshore of #Kamchatka #Russia megathrust subduction zone earthquake transpacific #Tsunam report is prepared some tide gage plots put together i will update over the coming week report here: earthjay.com/?p=12355

On Tuesday, an 8.8 magnitude #earthquake struck off the coast of Russia, triggering multiple #tsunami alerts along the U.S. west coast. Learn how NOAA scientists monitor, detect, and research tsunamis: noaa.gov/explainers/science-behind-tsunamis

A thread 🧵 on the importance of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, from the point of view of Washington State (unofficially, of course; this is just my opinion). Don't just take my word for it, though - read the NTHMP 2024 annual report here: www.weather.gov/media/nthmp/... 🌊

Hello! We're aware of login issues on agu.org affecting membership renewals. Our team is working on it, and we appreciate your patience. To support affected users, the abstract deadline is extended to Thursday, 31 July at 5 PM ET.

After a 25-hour workday, I'm finally home from this #tsunami response! I have many thoughts to share soon, but most of them come down to "hey, maybe we shouldn't defund the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program, which funds the vast majority of state-level tsunami work in the US!"

Following the powerful earthquake originating off the coast of Russia, #UNESCO's early warning systems triggered a #Tsunami alert within just ten minutes. Read the full press release here: unes.co/ts26zj

This. Fucking this.

I have a close friend with elderly parents in a location that takes a while to evacuate from in Hawaii. Glad to have helped and keep them updated through their evacuation. Even if its one family I love being able to help and answer questions.

Reminder that the Tsunami Warning Centers are part of the National Weather Service. It would be nice to have them fully funded.

Wow! This is why you Drop, Cover and Hold On!

According to the "experts" at the Kiluaea overlook tonight microradians is a unit of pressure. I probably shouldn't enjoy listening to tourists explain the volcano to other tourists so much.

Once again going to throw this out there so maybe it gets made: a streaming youtube channel of lava flows video and classical music. Please?

Aloha folks! I am on the IAVCEI advisory board and welcome comments you’d like me to anonymously pass along to the executive committee about your #IAVCEI2025 experience (both positive and negative). Having concrete feedback is one of the best ways to ensure each experience is better than the last.

This was posted in one of the Big Island facebook groups and I just wanted to share. Sometimes its good to take a step back and remember just how awesome and special it is when we get to work on volcanoes. Thank you USGS/HVO for all the work you do on island!

Doesn't matter if it's the books or the TV show, get yourself some Murderbot in your life!

I can't believe it is already time to start thinking about AGU abstracts! Join #teamInfrasound at #AGU25 this year in NOLA! www.linkedin.com/posts/jellea...

@infrasound.bsky.social gave a great talk on PDC generated infrasound! I might be biased, but I think it was wonderful work ❤️ #IAVCEI2025 @iavcei.bsky.social

I was bad about social media this week! My talk is 2:15 in the big room today! #IAVCEI2025

Whoa. That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today. With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Good morning #IAVCEI2025! I have two presentations for you today. I have a talk about the amazing acoustics of the Hunga eruption at 3.45, followed by a poster on the 2022 unrest episode at Taupō (which inc. a tsunami!) See you there!

Don't forget that Seismic and Acoustics start today at #IAVCEI2025 and continue tomorrow! Can't wait to see all the cool wiggles!

forms.gle/TWLt2qq1XLZz... #IAVCEI2025 Fellow volcanologists, if you use drones (or even intend to), please take a minute and fill out this survey.

#teaminfrasound stickers are at the Chaparral booth at #IAVCEI2025 and with me!

Hey #IAVCEI2025 do you use drones/UAV in your work? Fill out the survey! It was cool to hear about the results on Monday on the initial survey of drone users.

Loved (biased) @pyrolithic.bsky.social talk on lahar fingerprinting and the convergent development of a tool and the use of cross correlation matrix visualization we use in seismology! #IAVCEI2025
