Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!
We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.
Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

Screengrab of the Zoom from today's class. On the left is the output of a Jupyter notebook showing multiple plots of potential displacement of the volcano for different source locations. On the right is Franz Meyer, my co-instructor, who is leading this session.
It's Day 1 proper of this year's EarthScope #InSAR Processing and Analysis short course (the "ISCE+" course)! Here, Franz Meyer is leading participants through a simple Mogi source modeling exercise using InSAR data from Okmok volcano! Real data and real models on an interactive online platform!

A big shout-out to the team behind GPlates and PyGPlates. Visualization of plate motions and points is very convenient now.

Picture taken by pilot Jacek Maselko. This one shows a different angle of the mountain that the landslide originated from, and also the water in the fjord that is now filled with debris. The terminus of the glacier is also visible, and is covered with rock and debris.
Picture taken by pilot Jacek Maselko. Another angle of the mountain that the landslide originated from, with a different view of the debris-filled fjord and the terminus of the glacier. The light-colored part of the mountain is the scar. Pilot states they were flying at about 3500 ft.

Copied from AEC post on X: Check out these amazing photos of the Tracy Arm Landslide! Thank you to Jacek Macelko for sharing these images, taken on Tuesday, August 12 from 3,500 ft. The pale triangle of the landslide scar stands out. 🧪⚒️🪨 1/2
14.08.2025 18:34 — 👍 31 🔁 12 💬 2 📌 0It has been a busy couple of days! There was a large landslide and tsunami in SE Alaska, in Tracy Arm, Sunday morning. Luckily, no injuries or casualties were reported. This region is outside of our current landslide coverage, but we were able to get a quick location after hearing about the event. 🧵

The M6.1 shallow #earthquake near Bigadic, Turkey, occurred on a normal fault system, possibly the Sindirgi-Sincanli Fault Zone. A similar event occurred near Simav in 2011 and generated significant damage around the epicenter. ⚒️🧪

Looks like a small swarm in the Fontana trend. This M4.2 had a few foreshcoks including a M3.0. The Fontana trend is a NE-striking lineation of earthquakes under the sediments of the San Bernardino Vslley. We believe it is one of the left-lateral striking faults that are south of the San Gabriels.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪
A rule of thumb for tsunamis is that in open ocean, they move at similar speeds to commercial airliners. If you're ever curious how long it would take for a tsunami to get from one place to another, look up the duration of a similar-length flight.

29.05.2025 19:45 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0A particle motion plot is needed to verify the earlier observation. I will also remove the instrument response to generate velocity and generate a shaking intensity map similar to what USGS does for earthquakes. Currently looking for any precursory event that might have been caught in the data.

One interesting observation is that for stations LAUCH and LKBD2, which are situated to the west of the landslide, the HHE component registered a higher energy than other components. My interpretation is that it is due to the incoming surface waves generated by the landslide from the east.

Amplitude spectrum shows that in the nearby stations the highest energy is concentrated in the 0.5 - 3 Hz bandwidth.
29.05.2025 19:45 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0The Blatten landslide was registered on nearby seismometers (station LAUCH is closest, within 10 kms). Spectrogram of the raw waveform shows high energy content in the frequency band 1 - 10 Hz. The spectral signature is similar to those recorded in other parts of the world.
