Giant Radar Antenna Reflector on NASA-ISRO Satellite in Full ‘Bloom’ Seventeen days after NISAR’s launch from southeastern India, an essential piece of science hardware has unfurled in orbit.

Final deployment of the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite, the 12-meter radar antenna reflector was successfully completed August 15. Congratulations to all people involved in this important milestone of the mission, in USA and India. #NASA #ISRO #SAR #satellite #NISAR www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/giant-r...

It's been a great start to the @esa.int Living Planet Symposium 2025! #lps25 If you're in Vienna, join us at the poster session this afternoon (see below) and to hear about "Routine Global Volcano Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 Data and the LiCSAlert Algorithm", presented by @geoandyhooper.bsky.social

Myanmar Earthquakes, March 2028 - UK Centre for Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics On 28th March 2025, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, affecting large areas of the country and causing widespread destruction. A powerful 6.4-magnitude aftershock followed 12 minutes later, a...

On 28 March 25, a M7.7 earthquake & powerful aftershocks struck Myanmar, leading to widespread destruction & the devastating loss of thousands of lives. COMET scientists measured resulting surface deformation using @esa.int Sentinel-1 satellite data: comet.nerc.ac.uk/myanmar-eart...

The new eruption has unfortunately breached the protective barrier to the north of Grindavík according to IMO

Yes, great idea

PAGER USGS model out… desastating consecuences of the M7.6 Mandalay earthquake

Thousands of casualties expected
Huge economic disruption expected

Shakemap by USGS for the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar on Mar 28, 2025. Shaking expected up to violet. There will be heavy damage.

The USGS already released a shakemap for the M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar a few minutes ago. This will be devastating. ⚒️🧪

Last night satellite #Sentinel1C launched into space! It will join its sibling to restore the Sentinel-1 constellation, gathering more frequent, global, accurate data to monitor changes on the Earth's surface. It will aid COMET research into #volcanoes🌋and #earthquakes🌎 and support event response.

⚒️🧪 Still no maps from Veðurstofan, but RÚV says that this fissure is 2.5 km long (which is much shorter than the 7 km of the August eruption), has a lower flow rate than several earlier eruptions, and has extended the furthest north of any Sundhnúksgígar eruption so far.

Very excited and honoured to be one of the Ada Lovelace Day speakers at the Royal Institute in a couple of weeks! I'll be taking about #Iceland and it's ongoing #volcano eruptions #ALD24

Data center emissions likely 662% higher than big tech claims. Can it keep up the ruse? Emissions from in-house data centers of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple may be 7.62 times higher than official figures

Data center emissions likely 662% higher than big tech claims, but Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple have all claim carbon neutrality. Lol.
