Sentinel-1C(!) acquired new SAR data over Myanmar yesterday. Here are the azimuth and range offsets. Not particularly unexpected (right-lateral slip, 400 km+ long rupture), given earlier InSAR/image offset results, but surprisingly clean, given S1C is not out of its commissioning phase.

Herkes nasıl da güzel döküldü buraya. Ben daha cool değilken gelmiştim hehe. Üşengeçlikten anlatacak pek bir şeyim yok şu ara ama @evrimagaci.org 'na her ay düzenli olarak ayın depremi yazısı yazıyorum. Oraya bir bakın. evrimagaci.org/dertuncay/

Today's #earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, had magnitude Mw 7.7 to 7.9. Prelim. source models point to rupture duration & length of ~120s and at least 200km. It likely filled large part of seismic gap S of Sagaing (previous rupture in 1839) ⚒️ 🧪 Map from doi.org/10.1002/2013... (Wang et al.) 1/n

Looking at Sentinel-1 data availability over the Sagaing fault, and it is going to be several days (April 3rd) before Sentinel-1A flies over the likely rupture zone again. Can anyone at @esaearth.esa.int advise on the possibility of Sentinel-1C acquisitions over the area? #MyanmarEarthquake

EERI, through their Learning from Earthquakes Program, made a web page which collects news outlets and scientific resources about the Myanmar earthquake eeri.org/about-eeri/n...

On April 1, 2022, a #satellite was launched as part of the German Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) to collect #hyperspectral data, which can be obtained free of charge. Here is a #MATLAB script to import and display the data: mres.uni-potsdam.de/2025/03/04/i... #Geoscience

Live streaming smartphone sensor data to #MATLAB desktop was great fun but a lot has changed since my first post on the topic in 2017, both with MATLAB Mobile and Desktop. Here is the update, it is still great fun! mres.uni-potsdam.de/2025/03/14/m... #Geosciences

In this study we show that a single satellite snow depth image significantly improves a snowpack model in a high alpine site (Zugspitze, Germany). This result is based on the evaluation of the simulated gravity signal against superconducting gravimeter measurements. doi.org/10.1029/2024...

🚨The UKDayOne think-tank has published a major new paper by @peterkwells.com and @annapowellsmith.bsky.social on how opening up UK geospatial data – including the Postcode Address File – could unlock billions in economic value, modernise public services and foster competition. 🚨

Hear Dr @taimoorsohail.bsky.social discuss this important work on Australia's ABC Radio National. So good for people across our nation to hear about this finding and the risks associated - nice job Taimoor! 🌊 www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

🚀 Cleaning up issues and pull requests for the leafmap repository feels great! If you're looking to visualize geospatial data interactively, give leafmap a try! 🌍✨ It allows you to visualize all kinds of geospatial data with minimal coding. 🔗 GitHub: github.com/opengeos/lea...

New paper! Rachel Adam did a great job leading this work. Thanks to PGE and ASU for support. Think about how we map potentially active faults. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geospher...

I always thought quicksand was going to be a real problem. Turns out not so much, with one major exception….LIQUEFACTION!

Speaking of Kiyoo Wadati... look what I found. Volume 1 of the Japanese Central Meteorological Observatory's "The Geophysical Magazine," number 4 has Wadati's paper proving the existence of deep earthquakes beneathquakes.

Interesting paper: using InSAR the authors found widespread subsidence of up to 8 cm along a coastal strip of Miami barrier islands 2016-2023, probably related to construction activities & likely due to deformation of sandy layers within limestone 🧪⚒️ agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Did you know that your 20 Mpx camera is actually a 5 Mpx camera for red and blue, and a 10 Mpx camera for green, thanks to the Bayer RGGB mosaic of your single chip camera? You can read the BaRAW files into #MATLAB with RAWREAD without interpolating them to RGB, use IMSHOW – and see the mosaic!

The cross-sections of slip distributions of the Mw 7.3 #earthquake at Vanuatu tonight. Released by USGS, no preferred nodal plane for this event. There was a maximum slip of 3 meters. ⚒🧪 earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

⚒️ If you are puzzled by shallow slip deficit during strike-slip earthquakes, maybe diffuse deformation is part of the answer. S. Antoine et al. revisited the Ridgecrest earthquake and got ride of almost all of the SSD by better accounting for off fault deformation. dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024...

Day 2 of #AGU24, and I'm in the Geodesy awardees session. Here, John Wahr Early Career Award winner, Hilary Martens, is giving a short talk on her work in surface loading. Here she shows loading changes from atmospheric rivers. 1 m of water storage change in one wet winter, detected with GNSS!

Now for the InSAR session... Rob Zinke (JPL): Over 500,000 ARIA standard product interferograms went into this comprehensive decomposed velocity map of Tibet. Both the major strike-slip faults and extensional grabens can be identified from profiles through the data! #AGU24

There are now #InSAR interferograms covering the four Mw6.3 #earthquakes of the W Afghanistan swarm. 1st one covers the 2 first events of Oct 7. 2nd one covers the 2 events of Oct 11 and 15. Interferograms from LICS COMET: comet.nerc.ac.uk/earthquakes/... with Copernicus Sentinel data ⚒️ 🧪 1/4

these old horizontal pendulum seismometers still give the best signals from teleseismic surface waves

Everything going according to plan in the Sentinel-1C launch so far... excited and hopeful for more InSAR data to come! Streaming right now at www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

A few higher level observations and speculations (mostly of interest to other seismologists probably): all aftershocks are located to the east of the M7.0 earthquake: eastwards rupture? And the source time function shows two pulses, maybe a subevent closer to the coastline (stronger shaking)? 🧪⚒️

Today's M7.0 earthquake off northern California was not a subduction earthquake, but is an important reminder for us in Cascadia (northern CA to northern Vancouver Island) that different types of large earthquakes occur here. Know what to do when the shaking begins ⚒️🧪 www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/p...
