More true every day

🧪⚒️ The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation. Read more:

Just a few more days until the deadline (Feb 17) to apply for the 3.5-year fully funded PhD scholarships in GPU-based modelling! 🚀 Work at the cutting edge of #granularflow and #CFD, pushing the boundaries of #EarthSciences. Don't miss this opportunity! #STEM

With geoscientists keeping a close eye on the seismicity around Santorini over the past couple of weeks, this work by the BGS using machine learning to enhance detection & short-term forecasting for advising emergency services & at-risk communities is fascinating: www.bgs.ac.uk/news/artific...

Doing Science in 2025 is fascinating...

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

What a cluster of earthquakes in the Aegean Sea.. #rasberryshake

📢 Check out the new collection in Journal of Applied Volcanology on 'Data Visualisation and Effective Communication in #Volcanology' JAV is affiliated with the @iavcei.bsky.social Commission on Cities and #Volcanoes 🌋🏘️ Read more: www.biomedcentral.com/collections/...

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

🧪⚒️ A swarm of earthquakes has been rattling the Greek islands. Today marked the largest event in the swarm so far (M5.1). Schools are closed and emergency crews have deployed. Could the swarm trigger a really big earthquake, like the M7.8 in 1956? Read more on Earthquake Insights:

Check this out... I reckon drones should be used for gathering such intel...😐 #tooclosetodanger #volcano #multiphaseflow

We are only in January...

Volcan de Fuego is VERY quiet now, for the 6th day in a row... #Fuegovolcano #guatemala

Worth checking!

Wait, co-l in means co-lead? I thought it was co-Investigator for years...?

NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Three years ago, on Jan 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai #volcano erupted, causing the most powerful volcanic explosion since Krakatoa in 1883. The eruption triggered a tsunami, which killed three people and forced the relocation of communities. ⚒🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hy-...

Do we need more convincing? #rasberryshake

DAMN.. and one testament to this may be the 5 typhoons hitting the Philippines in 23 days...

The temperature data from December 2024 were released today. So it is time to update the comparison between measured temperatures and the prediction by Vahrenholt, which has been cited by contrarians & the AfD to deny the anthropogenic influence on #climatechange 🧪

The abstract deadline for IAVCEI25 in Geneva is tomorrow at 11:59pm Geneva time; Let's keep the numbers of abstracts growing exponentially as usually..🌋 @iavcei.bsky.social

@lucacaricchi.bsky.social when is the IAVCEI25 abstract deadline exactly? Is it 11:59 pm on the 10th (tomorrow) Geneva time?

A real photo and perfect metaphor heading into 2025.

Merry Christmas, Bluesky!!!
