These stunning animations from the USGS and NOAA show modeling of the earthquake waves and tsunami waves generated by the M8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia. 🧪

Seismologists here at the PNSN have been keeping up with picking and analyzing the data from the Mt. Rainier earthquake swarm. Read more about it on our newly updated Seismo blog at:

CA farmers, anglers and researchers often clash over salmon. Science united them Recent fish and water crises have challenged these groups to set aside their competing interests and become unlikely allies.

This is such a great article of how collaboration across diverse interest groups can address problems using data-informed decisions. Might just help our salmon rebound someday. www.sacbee.com/news/califor...

That video gave me a nightmare after I watched it. Thanks for sharing the added verification!

Video is almost certainly real. From colleagues in Russia:

Don't platform liars. If someone lies or refuses to answer a question during a public-facing interview, don't have them back.

We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. - Carl Sagan

I read the book on the left at a time when I was feeling fairly hopeless about the climate, and it helped me. I started reading the other last week and it is boosting my hope that we will find a better way for everyone on our planet.

The "magic eightball sounds" caption moment is what I'd describe as perfect comedic timing.

He's literally half of the exhibit on presidential impeachments

NOAA places 2 high-ranking officials on leave The Trump administration has placed two high-ranking officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on leave amid a series of efforts to make cuts at the agency. NOAA spoke…

Two senior NOAA scientists - longtime defenders of scientific integrity who led the probe into Sharpiegate - were just placed on leave.

The purge of science continues, one senior expert at a time.

This is sad news, I took Historical Geology and Sed/Strat from Ken the year he retired.

I was just thinking of him since we hadn't corresponded in a year or so.

Ken was inspiring, kind, and brilliant. RIP.

Solo le pido a Dios
Que lo injusto no me sea indiferente
Que no me abofeteen la otra mejilla
Después que una garra me arañe esta suerte

Solo le pido a Dios
Que la guerra no me sea indiferente
Es un monstruo grande y pisa fuerte
Toda la pobre inocencia de la gente

Ahora es el momento para el remake de una de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos- "Breaking Away"

Pero, que los cutters sean mexicanos o centroamericanos, hijos de trabajadores migrantes que llegaron a las canteras.

His wails on War Pigs are my battlecry. I feel much gratitude for the music and goodness he brought into the world. 🦇Rest🦇 in 🦇peace 🦇Ozzy 🦇🤘

Respect and solidarity with the NSF workers who are standing up for science.

Remember how prevalent the "Pinochet did nothing wrong" shirts were in years between 2016 and 2020?

I remember being told that I was overreacting when I brought it up.

A quién echáis de menos en el pack?

Y en particular, a qué MUJERES echáis de menos?

Gracias.

On days like today, I miss my friend and mentor, Tony Tom, He is the first person I thought of as I watched the first Mexican to wear the Maglia Rosa win the Mortirolo stage.

El Baja Blaster!!

Ese TORITO!

In the midst of my excitement about Del Toro, I haven't praised Bernal's return to form. So good to see him at the front of a race again!!

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

This excerpt from the 1920 poem by Wilfred Owen for memorial day:

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer,
Bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–

America is now characterized by dangerous stupidity. We’ve taken people who think their ignorance is more valid than the knowledge of experts and put them in charge of everything important.

Healthcare, trade, education, defense, national security, etc. All in the hands of the dangerously stupid.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.
