This article is excellent -- check it out, if you're curious about #earthquakes in eastern #Tennessee.

If you missed the amazing talks at the workshop Lithodef25 last February in IPGP, you can now screen most of them on IPGP YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Map showing the segmentation of the Sagaing fault and the hypothetic historical ruptures

Today's #earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, had magnitude Mw 7.7 to 7.9.

Prelim. source models point to rupture duration & length of ~120s and at least 200km. It likely filled large part of seismic gap S of Sagaing (previous rupture in 1839) βš’οΈ πŸ§ͺ

I posted earlier that the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar hits hard personally. I have a professional interest & also have family connections there. For now, I’d like to think about good things, such as the 2018 trip where I was an instructor in a β€œPaleoseismology field camp” we ran near Mandalay. 1/4

Oh no, this is bad. Really really bad.

Eight types of plate boundaries are illustrated. Each type points to a different place on the world map. The world map shows outlines for the plate boundaries.

I created this map to celebrate different types of plate boundaries.

The joint investigation team (Drs. Feng Shi and Mingjian Liang et al.) of the Sichuan Bureau, Xizang Bureau, and the Institute of Geology found that the co-seismic vertical displacement of the Dingri earthquake was as much as 3 meters.

Let's take a look at some field photos showing the normal fault ruptures (Taken by field survey team of the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration).

Prof. Duffy, thanks for your interest in our paper. I think 'Transcurrent Reactivation of Australia's Western Passive Margin: An Example of Intraplate Deformation from the Central Indo-Australian Plate' should be the paper for this cover image.

Landscape changes caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan Deformation due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake showed that its repetition shaped the Peninsula’s modern landscapes.

Interesting paper by Fukushima et al. on the effects of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Enjoyed a lovely evening city walk in Changsha, central China, before heading to a meeting.
