Nice work!

Where is @the-independent.com getting this idea of a 1000ft tsunami from the paper they cite by @diatomdura.bsky.social ?? Am I missing something? ⚒️

Does anybody remember a video a few years ago where CCTV caught a thrust earthquake that uplifted a truck if I recall correctly. I retweeted it with a comment like "1 small step in orogeny" but of course, Twitter is dead, so there no way to find it #earthquake ⚒️

Nature paper finds that 2/3rds of warming since 1990 is attributable to the wealthiest 10%, with 1/5th caused by top 1%, and 8% of attributable to top 0.1%.

A reminder that policy must address the outsized impact of the world's wealthiest.

Not so slow either at c.8mm per year!

If you had to wait at a bus stop this morning in Christchurch with no shelter please vote in the Local body elections for candidates who will support more investment in public transport infrastructure.

Your post reminded me to update my voting enrolment.

South African court said no to new coal-fired power: what’s behind the ruling A recent South African court judgment shows that the right to have the environment protected for the benefit of present and future generations is being upheld.

South African judicial system apparently up to the challenge of holding government to account, pity about other countries theconversation.com/south-africa...

So sad!

Watch seismic waves from the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar ripple across North America.

This animation, called a Ground Motion Visualization (GMV), shows how the ground moved as detected by seismometers across the continent.

You should go to Tasmania, where half the country is covered in Jurassic dolerite. The scourge of Tasmania (but sometimes quite pretty too). Also, what is the most boring???

My wife and I met him when we were members of the Natural History Museum in 2001 or 2002. He was involved in a tour of the Darwin Centre, with all these amazing specimens in jars and tanks. After that we got a signed copy of his book "Fossils, the key to the past". Lovely man!

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.

2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

Where is the photo taken?

What caused the Aoraki Mt Cook rockfall that could be seen in Twizel? Dust from the rockfall could be seen over 60 kilometres away.

Rockfall at Aoraki (Mt Cook) in the Southern Alps, New Zealand. Will be interesting to see more about this... ⚒️ www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Good luck for the next few years. USGS work is important way beyond the US.

I never get tired of looking at Poplars Graben releasing bend on the Hope Fault, New Zealand. Remarkable how much detail can be seen in google maps 3D view ⚒️

International Fellowships 2025 The International Fellowships Programme enables researchers to work for two years at a UK institution with the aim of building a globally connected, mobile research and innovation workforce.

If you're an early career researcher - perhaps based in a fledgling authoritarian state - and want an out, @britishacademy.bsky.social offer 2-year fellowships to come to a UK university (including relocation costs and research funds).
