When the ground starts shaking, don’t panic like a CEO caught on the kiss cam. 👀 Take protective actions your HR director would approve of: Drop, Cover & Hold On. Unlike ducking out of frame at Coldplay, these steps actually protect you from harm—whether it’s falling debris or falling reputations.

I think it’s mostly for the jurors.

NSF Division of Earth Sciences Informational Webinar

US Earth Science people: Our June webinar felt so good, we’re making it a series. Join us next Tuesday 7/15 (and again in Aug & Sept) to hear from NSF staff and to get (most of?) your questions answered. www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-d...

I’m here for it as long as I can start without checking email/Teams

NSF’s Division of Earth Science ran a bracket of disaster movies, and we can confirm this conclusion.

Rita Parai at the podium in front of a slide surveying oceans in the solar system.

Thanks to @ritaparai.bsky.social for a spectacular public lecture at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. She makes a strong case for measuring noble gasses in the atmosphere of Venus.

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

A GNSS antenna mast consisting of three legs stretched out and one center pole and with a gray antenna radome sitting on top is installed on a green grassy area. Behind the mast is an array of three solar panels with a large tan plastic case that contains batteries, a GNSS receiver, and other electronics. A house and a trees fill the background. This permanent GNSS site was installed after the M7.1 Anchorage earthquake in 2018.

A while cylindrical antenna mast with a white GNSS antenna on top sits on a grassy ridge. In the distance, a yellow tripod holds another GNSS antenna. Ocean and mountains stretch off in the distance. This campaign GNSS site (yellow trip) and continuous GNSS site (white mast) were installed after the 2021 M8.2 Chignik earthquake offshore the Alaska Peninsula.

For #FieldworkFriday, I want to highlight the critical role of NSF’s RAPID funding mechanism. RAPID grants have allowed me to quickly get equipment out in the field and recording irreplaceable data after M7.1 (in 2018) and M8.2 (in 2021) earthquakes along the Alaska subduction zone. 1/3

Volcanic Eruption in Deep Ocean Ridge Is Witnessed by Scientists for First Time (Gift Article) Researchers diving in a submersible in the eastern Pacific realized that the landscape they had studied the day before had been glassed over by fresh lava.

**BIG NEWS in the geology world!** For the first time, scientists spotted an active eruption along the mid-ocean ridge!!

They visited the hydrothermal vent the day before, where a vibrant ecosystem thrived in the sweltering water. The next day, everything was gone. ⚒️🧪

I’m so sorry to see this.

“Brain, what are we going to do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night. Change a flat tire.”

Not like anything else happened today, right?

View from inside a city bus, showing the bike riding in style on the front.

I’m such a public transit nerd. I’m almost giddy that I get to sample a new bus system (Fairfax County) when a great bus driver rescued me and my bike with a flat tire.

The Deep Frontier of Mantle Magma Supply - Eos Compared with crustal magma systems, little is known about the deep sources of volcanic supply chains. Interdisciplinary efforts can help answer key questions about how magma migrates from the mantle.

To better understand mantle magma supplies deep beneath volcanoes, scientists must catalyze research progress to address grand challenges, write @magmatist.bsky.social, @compucian.bsky.social, + colleagues from @whoi.edu and @carnegiescience.bsky.social. cc @sz4d.bsky.social

They had previously tried to rob stores using perl, but found the syntax burdensome and the support community too small to be practical.

Okay, nerds, buckle in!
It's time for some SCIENCE.

Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments.

This is such a great way to start the week. Welcome back, colleagues. Science needs you.

Margaret, you are such a dear colleague to me. 💕

This is such a dark day for so many wonderful people, colleagues, and scientists.

NSF Implementation of Recent Executive Orders Information for the NSF community regarding executive orders.

Hi. Here’s a public update I am very glad to share: “Access to the Award Cash Management Service (ACM$) has been restored and the system is available to accept payment requests” new.nsf.gov/executive-or...

The first of these sessions starts in 3 hours!

Get your questions answered in an upcoming office hours session.

Here’s to a quiet weekend and absolutely nothing happening next week.

Program Officers from all EAR disciplinary and the instrumentation and facilities programs will be available in breakout rooms to answer questions, please join us, we look forward to talking with you!

3/3

Please join NSF Program Officers from the Division of Earth Sciences for office hours. Program Officers will answer your questions and share information about opportunities for funding and opportunities to get involved. There are four office hours scheduled:
