13 April 1992 1:20 UT Mw5.4 earthquake near Roermond, the strongest recorded in the Netherlands. Felt in 6 countries, caused damage, killed one person and injured 46. Nearby EQs in 1755-60, 1873-78 and 1951. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... letempsarchives.ch hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com

Ein erster Schritt. Die Bevölkerung muss in die Lage versetzt werden, dass jeder individuelle Vorbereitungen trifft und weiß, wie man im Katastrophenfall handeln muss. Im Ernstfall ist keine Zeit dafür. Behörden können das einem auch nicht abnehmen. Und dafür ist das Portal gut: Vorbereitung.

4 April 1640 3:30 UT Mw5.5 #earthquake hit Düren, at Germany-Netherlands border, causing damage and killing one person. Felt from Chalons-sur-Marne to Frankfurt. emidius.eu/AHEAD/event/... emidius.mi.ingv.it/RHISE/ii_5vo... gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/ A bigger EQ in 1756 👇 bsky.app/profile/jose...

NASA JPL ARIA project analysis of data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 radar images measured the slip on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Quick preliminary map. More details later. Fault ruptured about 500 km (300 miles) in the magnitude 7.7 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The whole #MyanmarEarthquake rupture in one interferogram! This is three consecutive wide swath frames of ALOS-2 data, provided by JAXA through agreement with NASA. The line-of-sight (LOS) is ~perpendicular to fault strike, so most of what you see is vertical motion at bends and steps of the fault.

Why was the Myanmar earthquake rupture so unusually long? One possibility is that it was filling a seismic gap on the Sagaing Fault, and then continued southward to skip above the slip patches of two smaller earthquakes in 1929 and 1930. earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/further-th... ⚒️ 🧪

High resolution MAXAR satellite image reveals the #Myanmar #earthquake surface rupture north of the town of Sagaing. It is close to epicenter and N tip of the >400km long rupture. Right-lateral offset of ~3.2m is clearly illustrated by the distorsion and lateral shift of a dirt road striking E-W.

28 March 2025 #earthquake in #Myanmar. Another example of coseismic offset on MAXAR high resolutionimagery. N-S fault and surface rupture cut across built areas in the town of Sagaing, W of #Mandalay. Note left side of the image moving North relative to right side. Offset is ~4.5m. ⚒️ 🧪

High-res satellite imagery released as part of the emergency response to the Burmese earthquakes shows the exact location of the surface rupture of the strike-slip. On the outskirts of Tharzi. google.com/maps/place/2.. Gif in the next post. @kyle-bradley.bsky.social @judithgeology.bsky.social

Wow!!!!!! Looks like it's the longest recorded surface rupture, surpassing the Mw 7.8 2001 Kunlun earthquake

This matches very well with traces of the surface rupture visible a few km to the north on the high resolution Planet SkySat images (thank you Planet!). The offset road is the northernmost point on the overview, and I measured about 4.5 m of offset there.

Friday's M7.7 Mandalay, Myanmar earthquake - do we need to rethink earthquake hazard models? A little summary and discussion - hopefully in relative simple terms - by me, over on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/sphick...

Updated map for M7.7 #Myanmar #earthquake now incl. Thai network aftershocks (in purple) and the extent of the USGS slip model (little slip on most S 75 km though). Aftershocks appear concentrated near epicenter and at S end of rupture (and past?). Central section (original gap) less active. 🧪⚒️

First Satellite Images from Myanmar are available. Surface Deformation along the Sagaing Fault and the collapsed Ava.Bridge are visible in Downtown Sagaing. Pictures and Videos from the Surface Rupture have been reported since Friday. Via browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu #Myanmar #Earthquake

Ein Blick in die Presse und Nachrichtenmeldungen der letzten Stunden zeigt mir, dass wir dabei sind, die katastrophalen Folgen des historischen Erdbebens in #Myanmar schon zu vergessen. Der Schwerpunkt der Aufmerksamkeit liegt derzeit auf Bangkok. bsky.app/profile/luka... #Erdbeben

Oooof. A massive earthquake at shallow depth pretty much right beneath Mandalay - Myanmar’s second largest city - that has a population of 1.6 million people. This country has gone through so much terrible upheaval over recent years - today’s earthquake could well be catastrophic
