Abstract Deadline für die GeoMinBochum2026 verlängert - 4. Juni. geominbochum2026.de Vielleicht sieht man sich bei Session 129: Assessment of fault activity for seismic hazards: Integrating observations across methods and timescales...?

I am a fan of raised relief maps and 3D geological teaching material.

Excited to share a new open-access paper by Oliver Heidbach and Mojtaba Rajabi @geostress.bsky.social, marking the 40th anniversary of WSM project. Using 100,842 stress records, the study provides fresh insights into present-day global tectonic stresses. Download link: doi.org/10.5194/se-1...

I've approached multiple people without any responses (it's that time of year, I think), so I'm gonna try launching this into the bluesky. I need someone who can speak with me about Mercury geology. This probably means someone who worked on MESSENGER? But please share and thank you for any help! 🧪🔭

One week left to apply to these postdoc positions in global seismology!

Call for abstracts for session ID129, "Assessment of fault activity for seismic hazards: Integrating observations across methods and timescales," at the GeoMinBochum 2026 conference, September 20 to 24, 2026. geominbochum2026.de/call-for-abs...

#Earthday in the Silesian Planetarium (last Saturday) I told, among others, about eigenfrequency, i.e. why during mining tremors they nod chandeliers and not buildings, and how I translate it into earthquake research in caves #SciComm

Vertical surface motions in Europe. I love the Copernicus EGMS! Scandinavia goes up due to postglacial rebound. Po Plain sinks because of sediment input, compaction, and flexure caused by Apennines and Alps. egms.land.copernicus.eu

On this day, 34 years ago, the ML 5.9 Roermond #earthquake struck near the NL–DE border early morning. It caused major building damage, injured dozens, was felt as far as France and England, and triggered aftershocks that lasted for years. One person died from a heart attack. 🧪⚒️

We'll publish soon our first Field Guide paper, now accepted for publication. Stay tuned. ⚒️ Send yours if it's in our scope, i.e. #tectonics. It will be carefully peer reviewed, and, if accepted, published without cost and #open-access. Support free to publish / free to read #DOAJ !

New papers on paleoseismology, active tectonics, and archaeoseismology (April 2026) paleoseismicity.org/new-papers-o...

It's time to introduce six new associate editors at Geomorphica, who will help us manage the growing number of submissions. First up is Max Engel! #MeetMeMonday

Yeah, our new paper on the N America-Caribbean plate boundary is out now! We found 5 surface-breaking earthquakes in the last 1300 years. Joint research w/colleagues from Guatemala and @umkc.bsky.social. Funded by @dfg.de at @uni-jena.de 1/11

Oh no, geobulletin.org is no more!

Our paper, led by Ignacio Sepulveda, with Bjarke Nilsson, Yao Yu, Matías Carvajal, Matthew Brandin, David Sandwell is out in Science today! science.org/doi/epdf/10.... Video: Bjarke Nilsson @sdsuresearch.bsky.social @scrippsocean.bsky.social @ucsandiego.bsky.social @udeconcepcion.bsky.social @lmu.de

Here I wrote about the PATA Days meeting on active tectonics, and about the field trips I led in Guatemala.

Researchers at #UniJena, in collaboration with international partners, have found new evidence of repeated human settlements in south-eastern Arabia – thereby challenging a long-held assumption about the settlements of modern humans. ➡️ www.uni-jena.de/en/396561/new…

This popped up literally while I was writing that there is low seismicity north of the Southalpine Front...

Everyone loves 3D prints of #lidar topography! We put together a how-to tutorial video using the DEMto3D #QGIS plugin to make prints like these examples from @bayesmap.bsky.social. Check it out: opentopography.org/learn/3D_pri...

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Mw7.5 Guatemala Earthquake. The first sessions commemorate this disastrous event and shed light on the tectonics of the plate boundary and anti-seismic design in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Antigua. #PATADays

Today we start with an Archaeoseismology walking tour through Antigua. Lots of earthquakes have affected the city since the 18th century, and we can see the traces as well as the antiseismic design. #PATADays

The cooperation between DFG and #TWAS allows to invite researchers in early career phases #ECR from various countries outside Europe to an institution in Germany for a 3-month research and collaboration stay. Full information on requirements, deadlines and info sessions: www.dfg.de/en/news/news...

🚨Job Alert! 🚨 Professorship (W 2) for #Petrology at #Geosciences, Uni Potsdam. 🧪⚒️ www.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/pr...

I learned a lot during the 1st day of the INQUA PATA Days meeting in Antigua Guatemala. Great talks!

The last day of the PATA 2026 field trip took us to the La Laguna trench site, which has evidence for five events including 1976

#patadays Day 3. Another spectacular evidence of Motagua fault, in a complex structural bending at La Laguna. Trastensive cinematic, well expressed in a paleoseismological trench.

🚨 New map redraws our understanding of how continents deform 🚨 We are excited to share ground-breaking work led by COMET Co-Director @timwrightleeds.bsky.social, published in @science.org. Read more: comet.nerc.ac.uk/new-map-redraws-our-understanding-of-how-continents-deform/ #Tectonics #Research

#patadays Day 2. The rupture of 1976 eq. on the Motagua fault, and his offset along a canal

Day 1 of the PATA field trip led the participants to a slip rate site and a trench on the Motagua Fault. Today we will see earthquake damage to Maya ruins at Quirigua.
