Dear US citizens, we can't wait another 3 years for you to fix your government.

The download page of USGS's slab2 dataset looks gone. www.usgs.gov/data/slab2-a... Here is the alternative download link. I downloaded it in May. drive.google.com/file/d/1lrP1...

Geological Survey of Japan has released the raw drone videos of the eruption of Shinmoedake back in July. storage.repository.aist.go.jp/1104/index.h... DJI_20250703140503 has the footage of the most intense part of the eruption.

Igneous mafic-silicic something. Don't ask me what was happened here in 120 Ma tonalite. Shikanoshima, Fukuoka, Japan.

I am pretty impressed to Gemini 3. It is the first AI I am scared of. We dont probably need human researchers to find a scientific question anymore. Only lab rats and field explorers will survive this major extinction. Good luck.

The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku. Reposting unofficial visualization by x.com/kotoho76/sta...

Japan Coast Guard found no significant bathymetric change after the earthquake swarm in Tokara Islands. The mystery deepens... www.kaiho.mlit.go.jp/info/kouhou/...

Today is the National Disaster Prevention Day in Japan, commemorating the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake which devastated Tokyo and Yokohama. Here is the ground displacements map after the EQ, which was of course made without GPS or InSAR... www.gsi.go.jp/kohokocho/ko...

Hey Nano-Banana, please super-resolution and enhance this low-resolution satellite image. Make it like the imagery from the state-of-the-art 10-cm resolution satellite. Strictly keep the composition and viewing angle of the original image. Add immence details to the original blurry image. 😱😱

Automatic Colorization has reached this level now (Qwen Image Edit i2i model). Sakurajima 1914, Bezymiannny, 1956, Quizapu 1932. It is increasingly important to keep the original data.

The strong eruption of #Shinmoedake this morning, from JMA and municipal government cameras. Reddish growing has been observed for the first time this year.

I have just learned that there is a temple in Myammer with a floating pumice displayed as the holy object... www.sukima.com/38_myanmar20... I need to visit there some day after the peace is back.

Osarizawa Mine was one of the largest copper mine in Japan. It has been accepting visitors after its closure in 1950's, but no more from 2026. The memories of Japan as World's top mining country is fading away.

After a bit of search about insects repellant for a fieldwork, I found it safe to say Icaridin (EU) / Picaridin (US) is much better than the old DEET. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Was in the field yesterday. Found two cute mountaineers.

342 years ago OTD OTT, the climax of the 1783 Eruption of Asama Volcano, Japan. The eruptive products of prolonged plinian eruption had collapsed from the northern flank of the volcano, and formed disasterous Kambara pyroclastic flow and debris avalanche. gbank.gsj.jp/volcano/esdb...

Thanks to the authority in NZ, we have English version of the picture! www.geonet.org.nz/news/7KdKuPl...

Yes. Drown to death in tsunami is not the ordinally drowning. In most cases, it is an agonal death with uncountable traumas. Never, never caught by tsunami.

I really hope people in Hawaii take the warnings from the officials seriously...

Disregard the news about the beached whales in Japan. They were already there yesterday.

My mother often recalled the tsunami of 1960 Chile Earthquake (M9.5) in Japan. She was a teenager at that time. She witnessed the river reversely flowing and woods and waters blocking lowlands. The flooding persisted for the entire day. The distant EQ do cause a significant damage through tsunami.

Geoscope said its M8.7, which is huge. Beware of tsunami in the Pacific. Check the latest words from the officials in the region. geoscope.ipgp.fr/index.php/en...

A local photographer took the drone video inside of the summit crater of very active #Asama volcano. At the crater wall, there is a beautiful strata of the 1783 plinian eruption deposits that formed the entire cone. x.com/sakunokoi/st...

People in Kagoshima are claiming that the volcanic ash from Shimoedake is harder to wash down from their cars than that of Sakurajima😂

The seismic swarm in Tokara Islands compared to Afar-Dabbahu 2005 and Iceland Bardarbunga 2014 magma dyke events.

New report from Tohoku University to the National Earthquake Research Administration shows a significant but gradual ground shift during the recent seismic swarm in Tokara Islands. It can be most likely explained by a magma dyke event. www.static.jishin.go.jp/resource/mon...

Geological Survey of Japan released a crazy drone photo showing the new vent of the Shinmoedake in Kirishima Volcanic Complex. www.gsj.jp/hazards/volc...
