Are you going to SSA 2023 in Puerto Rico? If so, please come and see me to grab a free Namazu t-shirt while they last!
Some of our Australian aftershock sequences can go on for years, and it looks like the earthquakes that are following last year's Mw5.9 will be doing just that. Today's magnitude 3.3 is the largest aftershock since the day of the main shock, when a 4.2 and 3.3 occurred within the first hour.
Here's the magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Midland Texas last Friday as seen on seismographs in the area. A red trace in our web-based data viewer means >0.2mm/s peak amplitude, something we don't see on multiple stations very often, let alone on almost all of them! That said, there are a lot of stations very close to the epicentre due to saltwater injection monitoring requirements.
My colleague, Juan Santiago Velasquez - a seismologist from #colombia - just told me about #earthquake nests - something I’d not heard of before. Here’s my quick summary featuring the #melbourne #PeregrineFalcon reacting to our magnitude 5.9 earthquake last year!
A nice 6 minute feature on Mars geophysics: Quakes, Plumes, Tsunamis and Lava Lamps. I ❤️ @SciShow https://youtu.be/8Q0YhzfzuJA
#NewProfilePic courtesy AI. There were some weird ones in the results, but this was OK and captured my crows feet beautifully.

Seismica is expanding!!
We are seeking new Board Members who share our key values and are committed to working toward a globally representative, researcher-run #DiamondOpenAccess journal for #seismology and #earthquake science.
We are looking for new board members to be part of out Handling Editors, Standards & Copy Editing and the Media and branding teams.
Want to join the Seismica movement?

Earthquake tourism: there's a lookout on the Great Ocean Road with a great view of a reverse fault in a cliff face. Can you see it? From the same platform you can also see some limestone stacks that people seem to be interested in: The Twelve Apostles!
If you're into seismology and love programming, we have a vacancy opening up for a software engineer to work on our earthquake data analysis and management systems. Posting here because remote working is now a thing and we're good with that! The role primarily involves developing cross-platform desktop software in Java, but also includes web programming, database management, and iOS app maintenance and more. Message me if you or anyone you know might be interested.
How should we describe particular #magnitude earthquakes? Large, small, powerful? There are guidelines, and we can use other words, but the classification should be appropriate for the size and impact of the #earthquake to be effective #scicomm
I haven’t posted here much yet, but would like to understand who is reading. If you’ve done similar polls I’d be interested in your insights on your Mastodon audience versus other platforms. Who are you?

Hi! I’m a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. I study #earthquakes and focus mostly on #SeismicRisk and #ActiveTectonics. I’m interested in #Paleoseismology #Neotectonics #Seismology #Geodesy and #SeismicHazard.
I’m also chair of the #AGU Hazards Equity Working Group, a Fast Reports editor at @weareseismica and a Building Equity & Capacity committee member for #SZ4D.

#introduction #introductionpost #helloworld I am a #seismologist & #artificialintelligence #highperformancecomputing enthusiast based in Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies #Germany and my #research currently focusses on the #applications of #machinelearning & #deeplearning in #seismology . I did my #phd from #iit Kharagpur where i studied #sitecharacterization, #soilliquefaction & #seismicmicrozonation . Would love to connect with like minded people and fellow #researchers . #womeninstem

Since there was interest, I have set up a Google Form/Sheet for Earth Scientists on Mastodon.

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.

This process began ~53 million years ago, and is ongoing today.
The Himalayan #mountains are the result of this collision, with #earthquakes thrusting them up and erosion tearing them down. Clearly, tectonic uplift is still winning that battle!
Regional compression (from the collision) produces broadly distributed earthquakes north of the plate boundary. But the largest earthquakes occur on the shallow part of the megathrust boundary (the largest active continental megathrust boundary on 🌍).
