Philippines earthquake: tsunami warning issued after 7.4 quake hits Mindanao The Philippines seismology agency said it strongly advises people in coastal towns in central and southern Philippines to immediately evacuate Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the earthquake in the Philippines. A quake measuring 7.4 has struck the Mindanao region, triggering a tsunami warning. The Philippines seismology agency has warned of damage and aftershocks after the quake struck the southern island.

Philippines earthquake: tsunami warning issued after 7.4 quake hits Mindanao

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

I suspect that there was surficial distributed deformation too, but since I am not aware or knowledgeble about that area, I will wait for further research.

hi, @berndandeweg.bsky.social it was actually a shallow EQ for a subduction zone, so that is not the reason. I'm sure people will elaborate/investigate with data on why it did not produce a large tsunami, but several factors come to play, as the rupture itself and wave propagation mechanisms

thank you!!

I hope you do!!! you will love it!

thank you!!! you need to travel to other places than Iceland now, I guess 😅

thank you! and please do!

🚨I am very honored to announce that I’m starting as a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Lisbon, funded by the European Commission 🚨. I am grateful to NCSU where I honed my skills in Quaternary Geochronology and all my USA colleagues who I work with in Earthquake Geology. ☺️🌍

🌟FREE TO READ #KAMCHATKA #EARTHQUAKE PAPERS🌟As a service to researchers working on the 2025 M8.8 Kamchatka earthquake, we have curated a list of papers related to the region, free until until 22 August www.seismosoc.org/news/free-to... ⚒️🧪

Earthquake sequences of Kamchatka this month. Pink is M8.8 aftershock sequence.

Macinnes et al. (2010) rupture zones

The aftershock zone of today’s M8.8 Kamchatka megathrust #earthquake is comparable to the rupture area of the 1952 rupture zone from Macinnes et al. (2010). At a rate of 8 cm/year, the accumulated slip of 6 m since 1952 matches with the preliminary rupture model of today’s earthquake pretty well. 🧪⚒️

Incredible shrinking Cone of Uncertainty! Kartina 2005 vs Helene 2024. Dramatic improvement in hurricane forecasting due to expertise of NOAA scientists at NHC & AOML. Since 2005 forecast error on 5-day track has decreased by ~50%! We often take these accurate forecasts for granted but... 1/

I talked to a NOAA colleague yesterday who told me that 75% of the federal employees of his division have left and he’s worried about their ability to get work done even if Congress funds NOAA at some level. The devastation to science will be felt for generations.

#OpenToWork: how laid-off US scientists are coping with shattered careers Unemployed researchers face some tough career choices as they flood the job market after the Trump administration’s cuts to science.

My latest @nature.com story shares the human stories behind the massive job loss and brain drain facing US science.

The quote I still can't get past: "We want to offer scientific asylum to our colleagues,” said Eric Berton, president of Aix-Marseille University in France.

Excellent reporting of a tragic story. So many mishaps, not the least of which was the NC legislature’s decision to eliminate a crucial landslide mapping program for 7 years under pressure from real estate interests.

thought the same thing when I listen to them. Climate change? where, no! Vaccines?? what ever for? and so on...

After Cuts, a Kentucky Weather Office Scrambles for Staffing as Severe Storms Bear Down

9 people were killed in a tornado last night in KY. The NWS office responsible for that area has faced some of the most extreme cuts by the Trump administration, including the loss of overnight forecasting.

Last night, they were rushing to find help for the office.

it looks like it!!

this is great, thank you!

I found the coordinates (approximate) of the solar plant, but it is not making sense just yet, solar plant is quite recent, so we need recent imagery. I agree, it seems like a step-over and we lack more information.

Do you know the location of this? This is, from another angle, yes!

Hi There! This is what I have been saying since the beginning, I don't think the video is showing the main trace rupture, and is a secondary structure. Perhaps a step-over, yes :) I am struggling to find the right location of the gate as well. The tower that fails may be at a major rupture.

Thank you Tim, very much appreciated!
