My most well known photo from the field, and well timed being very nearly the anniversary of the 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake sequence. This is the "Wall of Waiau" on the Leader fault. This scarp is actually a bit of a quirk of nature, no prior rupture here and effective localised normal movement due to topography on an oblique thrust and right lateral fault.

@SakuRainbow @earthjay Interestingly, you can look at different solutions for the the same earthquake (M7.3 #Tonga shallow #earthquake of 11 Oct), depending on the inversion method: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquake.

@SakuRainbow @earthjay Actually, the rounded parts show that the moment tensor is not 100% consistent with pure slip on a planar fault ("pure double couple"). But maybe 10% is unexplained. The rest can be due to 1/ uncertainty in the inversion, 2/ actual complexity of the rupture (multiple faults activated, roughness of the fault...) or 3/ volume change (e.g. when magma is involved). #SCARDEC assumes a pure fault plane, whereas #USGS leaves more freedom to inversion. See pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/7

@SakuRainbow @earthjay Here is the same earthquake analysed by #Geoscope. The 1st image shows the focal mechanism. This is a stereographic projection of 4 quarter-spaces: ◻️ is the region where the rupture radiates tensional ⏪⏩ waves, ◼️ is where compressional waves ⏩⏪ are radiated. What you need to care about is the limit between ◻️ and ◼️: it corresponds to the two *possible* planes, which are perpendicular ❌. Both planes are depicted in 2nd figure

In 2015, a M7.8 earthquake occurred in Nepal. This video from IRIS (narrated by me) explains this #earthquake, as well as the seismic hazard and risk for #Nepal and #India.

For my PhD I worked on understanding the uplift of the Southwestern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, focusing on the Karakoram and Longmu Co fault systems and surround mountain ranges.

These are right and left lateral strike slip fault systems (respectively) that are helping to accommodate the motion between #India and Eurasia.

Here’s an open source paper that gives some background. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/g

Mastodon tips (brief)

1. Server choice - tricky
2. Add a pic and bio
3. I prefer 'Advanced web interface'

5. Listen to long-time users
6. Tip your server admins
7. Hashtags pretty important
8. Put Alt text on pics
9. Use Content Warning if in doubt
10. Pin introduction post
11. Do some boosting
12. Follow interesting people
13. Hashtags can be followed too
14. DMs not secure
15. Be respectful
16. Thank you, people who run this

Maybe you haven't heard of Shiveluch on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Far Eastern Russia, but it is one of the most explosive and active volcanoes on the planet. In today's post you can check out some excellent satellite images by Planet that show the results of some recent dome collapses and explosions from this Russian volcano.

My #introduction: Hi everyone, my name is Jack, and I am a #geoscience #PhD student at The University of Queensland, #Australia. In my PhD research, I seek to explain why "weird" #volcanoes exist in East Asia and Indonesia. To do so, I (1) analyse the composition of rocks erupted at these volcanoes to determine how they formed and (2) use earthquakes to model the structure of the upper 660 km of Earth. I am passionate about all aspects of #science and am excited to learn from everyone else here!
