USGS shake map of the Jul 29 2025 Mw8.8 earthquake offshore Kamchatka

On Jul 29 2025, a powerful Mw 8.8 #earthquake struck offshore #Kamchatka, the strongest since Japan’s 2011 quake and one of the biggest ever recorded. It was preceded by 50 Mw 5.0+ quakes, including one Mw 7.4 and three Mw 6.6. The biggest aftershocks so far include a Mw 6.9 and 6.3. ⚒️🧪 #geology

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

Whenever you resucítate it, I’ll try to be there!

New paper alert!

I am starting to be an expert in Mongolian geology without being ever there. And this is a problem, I want to get rocks from Mongolia!

Next week we will received the second batch of @formovfluid.bsky.social PhD students at @igeociencias.bsky.social

The team is getting here, so excited to start sciencing

Tomorrow two PhD students from @formovfluid.bsky.social will start at @igeociencias.bsky.social welcome!

Ayer celebramos en el IGEO unas jornadas de puertas abiertas de los Servicios Científico Técnicos del centro.
En ellas, el personal investigador responsable nos habló de sus líneas de investigación y de los servicios que ofrecen.

Time to leave Japan… this time. I hope I can share the research soon and told you here about the next field trip adventures. #Japan #Geosciences

Did flood basalt weathering draw down significant amounts of CO2 in the Mesozoic? We think not so much:

Let’s drill a little hole then!!

After 17 days of fieldwork with a single day off (used to travel 8 hours), I am heading back to #Sendai (my happy place) for a couple of days before #JpGU
Well deserved rest, #Zunda, and #Gyutan.

Doing some tourism in Sanbagawa my guide give this paper… @calamitaman.bsky.social

PhD: Geodynamic Exploration of Emergence and Evolution of Hadean Paleogeography Do you want to geodynamically model what Earth's surface may have looked like when life emerged? Join us in this PhD project!

Are you a geophycisist/petrologist with a taste for numerical modeling and transdisciplinary collaboration?

Apply now, and until June 10, for our vacant PhD position on Hadean Paleogeography, in context of the Origins Center's PRELIFE project!

Last day of volcano hunting. Tomorrow we will start oceanic plate stratigraphy! #Harunasan #Geosciences #Volacano

Forgot to tag @geosociety.bsky.social

Thanks for all the support!

It took “only” 11 years since I samples these rocks in Iran until the results were (finally) published. But here we are and we hope you like it!

Esto es importante, porque Pepe Mujica no era ni vivía como un pobre (tenía sus necesidades materiales cubiertas: una casa, un terreno para cultivar, un tractor, un coche) ni hizo voto de pobreza como los Franciscanos o como Ghandi

Lo veo y subo

Muchos admiramos a Múgica por su bonhomía, su compromiso político que le llevó a sufrir cárcel y tortura, y su lucidez como presidente de Uruguay.
Otra gente, en cambio, lo único que admiraba de Múgica era su frugalidad y su forma sencilla de vivir, proyectando que la izquierda coherente es pobre.

See you soon in Lisbon!

I have a poster on Monday and a talk on Wednesday on subduction stuff. Keep in touch!

A veces el trabajo de campo te lleva a sitios inesperados

But I will be at #JpGU so we can catch up and talk about beaches of long gone tectonic plates.
