This is a VERY large earthquake, possibly/probably among the 10 largest ever recorded. A clear subduction zone megathrust event. And it is another M>8.5 event with a notable foreshock (the recent M7.4 in same location), like Tohoku in 2011.

ISRO’s GSLV-F16 will launch ISRO-NASA joint satellite, NISAR, on July 30, 2025 www.reddit.com/r/ISRO/comme...

House Approps comm. Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies subcomm. Dems really dislike this bill. Grateful to @morelle.house.gov for pointing out it doesn't provide enough $ for science agencies, including #NSF. I hope @delauro.house.gov and all the Dems push for something better. #CJS

🧪 CRITICAL UPDATE: The House draft version is now out. ✅ Like the Senate's version, there's no cut to NASA's budget. ❌ There's a 23% proposed cut to NSF's budget. 8-page summary: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su... Draft bill: appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

#NISAR!!!! 👍

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...

Whew - the Senate is standing up for NSF! $60M cut, while not great, is a huge improvement over the President's/House budget.

SCOOP www.importantcontext.news/p/national-s...

CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY OR TOMORROW AND ASK THEM TO SAVE NSF!!! Full Committee Markup of NSF Appropriations for FY26 is happening Thursday morning at 9:30 EDT.

Thank you, @iavcei.bsky.social for a wonderful week of science and friendship in Geneva at #IAVCEI2025! Already looking forward to #IAVCEI2029 in Costa Rica!

Tuesday's #IAVCEI2025 personal highlight was Miriam Reiss' fantastic plenary talk on how volcanic tremor provides new insight into magma-fluid dynamics! Tuesday's lowlight was accidentally locking myself and my flatmates out of our Airbnb for 5+ hours....

Last night's #IAVCEI2025 'eruption' in Lake Geneva was <chef's kiss>. Thank you to our lovely hosts for making this rare and beautiful phenomenon happen!

EXCLUSIVE: Warner, Kaine, Beyer demand answers on NSF's forced exit from Alexandria headquarters

Some new intel here - thank you TPM!

Senator Warner demands cost analysis for HUD move to Alexandria, raises concerns about #NSF displacement www.alxnow.com/2025/06/26/s...

Does anyone know what's up with the M4+ earthquakes off Greenland's east coast? Four of them in the past week. Landslides?

Thank you, Congressman Beyer!

🚨CALLING ALL SCIENTISTS Please adapt the following email laid out by Dr. Prather and send to your Congressional Reps. Personally, the first part of my PhD was funded by the NSF (second half by NASA). The NSF is critical to our scientific ecosystem. Most of us have been funded by it at some pt.

Statement from Rep. Zoe Lofgren (Ranking Member on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee):

Absolutely speechless as this press conference basically ignores that NSF is already working, living, loving this building. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdct...

Call your Congresspeople, folks. The staffers I’ve spoken with consistently have no idea about the damage going on at NSF.

Call your Senators and House Reps to point out what an egregious example of waste, fraud, and abuse this would be. HUD Sec Turner is asking for extensive renovations including a private elevator, gym, and luxury dining room for himself and his cronies.

🌊 the @nationalacademies.org OCE Decadal report highlights the need for stronger U.S. investment in ocean research. Urgent 'Ocean Science Research Portfolio' recommendations is Extreme Events, including EQs, Volcanism, Submarine landslides, Seabed instability, and Tsunamis www.nap.edu/catalog/27846

Great to see this one finally out! Another nice example of how petrology and geophysics combine to illustrate how volcanoes work.

Happy Holidays from snowy and beautiful Quebec City!

Joining the fun under a blue sky! 🌟 Follow SZ4D for updates, events, ways to engage, and all things subduction zone science. Let’s connect!

Lava is currently burning the road to the Blue Lagoon as well as part of its car park. Photos in link: www.visir.is/g/2024265308...

The eruptions on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Iceland over the past few years have been spectacular, with lava flows and fountains that drew thousands of tourist. The next eruption might be brewing, but this time it is right next to a town of almost 4,000: www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth...

Happy to see this article finally out in Nature Communications! Sam Scott did some really cool work on an awesome FTIR dataset captured during an amazing lava fountain sequence at Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, in 2021. He came up with a really neat model to explain the activity! 🌋⚒️

Had a great time fishin' with a former postdoc on a beautiful Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago! We caught a monster 🐟. :)
