Still recovering from a busy but wonderful week at #ISC2026 in Wellington! Lovely to hear all the great #sedimentology going on and seeing so many friends and colleagues make the trip to this side of the world 🤩

Thanks for the great organization to @sedimentology.bsky.social and see you next time!

Tsunami 56 years ago today a devastating Tsunami tore through our Hilo Town. It may have taken us to our knees, but we did not break. Instead, we rebuilt, stronger, and more prepared. Listen as survivors of both the 1946 and 1960 Tsunami tell their story. Please enjoy this mini Documentary done as a collaboration with Taylor Martin Media and the Pacific Tsunami Museum. Enjoy

It's #WorldTsunamiAwarenessDay. Before warning systems existed, tsunamis could be a surprise. A 1946 M8.6 earthquake in Alaska launched a tsunami that devastated Hilo, HI and killed >150 in the HI Islands. Now warning infrastructure in AK is being defunded, weakening the network. ⚒️🧪🌊 bit.ly/4oqexnR

Our #land2sea shaking studies workshop in #Taiwan was a success! Many great discussions on the way forward for subaquatic #paleoseismology, inspiring talks and a fantastic field trip showing the impacts of the devastating 1999 Chi-Chi #earthquake.

🌟OPEN ACCESS🌟 In a new #SRL paper, scientists link coseismic deposits in lakes in Chile with instrumentally recorded megathrust quakes. In this way, they bridge the gap between sedimentology and seismology. ⚒️

Subaquatic #paleoseismology is a great tool to reconstruct past #earthquakes! But which components of #shaking are the #turbidites we study actually recording? 🤔
