Take a minute to read this thread describing the extraordinary work done by tsunami modelers to understand and forecast the behavior of waves as they are progressing. This is one of the many reasons it is critical that we fund federal science agencies!

NY Times: newly declassified documents show Russian intent to sway the 2016 election against Clinton.

Fox News: [the same] newly declassified documents confirm that Clinton, Comey et al. were coordinating to link Trump to Russia.

The blatant lies by Fox are getting worse.

Nothing to see here.

Literally, nothing to see here.

Readers, if you don't know, course evals are often a nightmare for women & faculty of color. I've had friends & colleagues report students commenting on their appearance, using racial slurs, & making all sorts of misogynistic comments.
white male = genius, non-white/female = pushing an agenda.

Oh yikes, that's a lot. But maybe that's normal to get out there? it's not terribly accessible.

But it's SOOOOO amazing. 😍

WOW, there are a lot of salmon jumping at Brooks Falls (Alaska) right now. Check out salmon and bears on the live cam: explore.org/livecams/cur...

Swifties know how it's done

I just love this typo in the NYTimes. Not only is it an ironic error, but misspelling "Genius" is the only way that one could justify Trump's observation (highlighted).

There was also that time when @kennarubin.bsky.social gave a "poster" composed entirely of sketches on cocktail napkins. If memory serves, she lost her original poster or it didn't get printed in time or something.

My bad. I thought this was how we all did our AGU prep.

These include deformation of the ground (swelling), changes in gas coming out of the mountain, possible thermal changes. the Cascades Volcano Observatory has their eyes on it!

Nope! Most likely situation is that these quakes are hydrothermal. At least that's what we think about the previous largest swarm, in 2009. There are lots of other things we'd expect to see if this was magmatic that we don't yet see.

It's a lousy year to celebrate July 4, so we are focusing on our community. Spent the past week building a couple of holes of mini golf for the neighborhood to enjoy when walking by.

Unless there's a typo, I read this as follows:

10 assaults in a half year, followed by an additional 69 over the next year (or 34.5 per half year). A change from 10 to 34.5 is 24.5 additional assaults, or a 245% increase.

245%, not 690%. Math matters.

This is terrifying, horrible, repugnant, and cruel. There is no other way to look at this: today's right wing does not believe that trans people deserve rights at all, even that of life.

It does indeed, although averages being what they are, it doesn't work out quite that neatly. In the past century there have been 5 M9 events (and a lot of high 8s).

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

On average, there is a magnitude 8 earthquake somewhere on Earth about once per year. Magnitude 7s are more or less monthly. Magnitude 6s occur every few days.

This wouldn't be happening if Trump were president.

Judge rules against NIH grant cuts — and calls them discriminatory The decision means that the US biomedical agency has to restore funding to hundreds of research projects, but the government will likely appeal.

A US judge has ordered hundreds of terminated research projects at the US National Institutes of Health to be reinstated, calling the processes that led to their cancellation “bereft of reasoning”.

Thanks for nothing, Senator Cassidy.

Memories of my third grade camping trip, during which our teacher killed a rattlesnake and cooked it. I hated all the food on that trip except that snake. Very much like chicken.

Timeline cleanse: my daughter is home from college and made a cake. First time she's attempted a heart shape. I think she's amazing. ❤️

As the prophecy foretold.

This, my friends, would be the death knell of US science. Utterly devastating.

Scientists saved lives. The village was evacuated a week ago.

Are these data publicly available? I've done a number of studies on failures that show precursory seismicity but so far I haven't been able to access the data from CH.LAUCH. Could also be that I'm out of town and away from my normal tools.

For anyone not familiar with GRFPs: these are fellowships awarded TO THE STUDENT. They're NOT awarded to an institution or tied to a particular project. Many GRFPs are earned with an application written before a student has submitted any grad school applications.

Screenshot of a text in which an army recruiter reached out to my transgender daughter and I told him to kiss my ass.

The US Army texted me to recruit my daughter today. I had thoughts.

That handle totally looks like a push bar. Whoever built that door set you up for failure.
