Two weeks ago, a video appeared showing slip in the Myanmar earthquake - the first time this has ever been recorded on video.
What can we learn from it? We deep-dive the science.

SeisBench v0.9 is out now. Some highlights of the new version:
- The CWA dataset with broadband and strong motion data from Taiwan.
- The CEED dataset covering more than 4 million waveforms from California.
- A 20% speed-up when picking continuous datasets.

Rotational ground motions are an integral part of the seismic wavefield. Here, we focus on possibilities and limitations for local seismicity with six degree-of-freedom sensing in Southern California.

What I wish I knew: 33 thoughts for early career researchers
Reflections I wish someone had shared with me early in my research career.

When I looked through the EGU25 program, I immediately knew I wanted to write about AI and science - so I did!
I'm considering writing a part 2 so, feel free to comment, thoughts on AI/LLMs in science? Anything is welcome!

Mehrere starke Beben haben heute Vormittag die Region südlich von Istanbul erschüttert. Das stärkste Beben hatte eine Magnitude von 6.2. Es folgten (bis jetzt) vier weitere. Über die Hintergründe informieren wir hier: www.gfz.de/presse/meldu...

Die Erdbeben heute bei #Istanbul haben kaum Schaden angerichtet. Doch sie sind Teil eines Countdowns zur Katastrophe.
Hier erkläre ich, warum der große Knall als unvermeidlich gilt - aber niemand weiß, wann er kommt.

Are your science figures confusing rather than communicating? 😕😵💫
If you are attending @egu.eu EGU25, start the week with my short course and let me help you bring your science graphics from "meh" to "wow" ;)

A M6.5 earthquake shook the remote Norwegian island of Jan Mayen earlier today - reported felt by two of the very few people stationed there over winter. What's going on up there in the Arctic? We explore the geology, history, and geography.

Scientists from the GEOMAR and @gfz.bsky.social together with Greek partners, are deploying instruments on the seafloor and in the caldera of Santorini to monitor the earthquakes and assess potential geological risks. 2/2

Für unsere deutschsprachigen Followys: Wir beobachten die Lage auf und um Santonrini gemeinsam mit Kolleg:innen des @geomarkiel.bsky.social sehr genau. Wir diskutieren gerade über die Ursache der Beben: tektonisch, also durch Erdkrustenplattenbewegungen, oder vulkanisch? Oder ein Mix? Wir neigen 1/3

Topographic map of the area around Santorini in Greece. Thin black lines show faults, largely oriented northeast-southwest. Red dots show earthquake epicenters since January 1, 2025, clustered northeast of Santorini. Earthquakes are projected to the right onto a timeline, indicating that a new swarm of seismicity started at the end of January and has expanded in the days since then. Below the map is a compiled timeline of earthquakes since January 1. The largest earthquakes are in the high magnitude-4s.
Hi @vanhinsbergen.bsky.social. That seems like a reasonable explanation. The earthquakes are occurring NE of Santorini, in an area known as the Santorini-Amorgos zone. This area has a number of mapped NE-SW-trending normal faults.
...
SW Baltic Sea faults were quite active in the last 200 ka, related to release of Saalian and Weichselian ice sheets induced stress release. See new study by Seidel et al.: doi.org/10.1111/bor..... Also show a snapshot where future earthquakes (next 1000 a) may be related to such stresses.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
