And now it's two-thirds of France under #heatwave alert, with 19 department with red flag (extreme).
Many records for the month of August have fallen, and this will continue tomorrow.
Red flag (max level alert) in 4 French departments because of heat wave. More than half of France under orange alert…

2️⃣ Alghuraybi et al. use borehole and 3D seismic reflection data to quantify the lateral propagation and displacement accumulation rates for syn-kinematic faults. They argue that these faults provide a unique snapshot of the earliest stage of fault growth.

1️⃣ Magee et al. use 3D reflection seismology to reach a better understanding of the 3D structure of dyke-induced faults and their relationship to the geometry and emplacement dynamics of their causal dykes.

Our updated statistics in the attached diagram.
To date, #Tektonika has published 12 papers and 5 more are at the copy-editing stage.
We opened end of May 2022. 49 manuscripts submitted since June 2022, and the rate is rising after a low in Feb-April. 7 submissions in August until now.

Another strength of #Tektonika we are proud of is the comprehensive review report published alongside each article.

In Tektonika's first editorial we have included this diagram with the timeline from submission to publication for our twenty first manuscripts. It shows how many days each step of the evaluation process took (data at the date of 24 May 2023).
Such data and analyses are rarely provided by academic journals, probably because their review process is often opaque and undisclosed.

On 24 July we have issued our first volume. It includes a nice editorial piece outlining the journal's life story and our future plans and hopes (for Tektonika #DOAJ and #openscience).

At TEKTONIKA #DOAJ we aim to expand our editorial board, including colleagues from under-represented continents, countries and groups. For example applications from Africa would be particularly appreciated. Ditto for manuscript submission.
For more infos and application, you may contact the journal (see on web page https://tektonika.online), answer to this tweet, follow us, or DM

French police officers killed a 17yr old teenager. They weren't in danger.
Police began by lying about circumstances of tragedy before an amateur video denied their words.

Monday morning, time to remember those words by Naomi Oreskes:
"It is not unreasonable to think we could […] live in a less destructive manner than we do now. If that aspiration appears to be unrealistic, then we need to find strategies to make it real."
