Whatcha doing out there, big guy? earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Do you have a library card?

What does an earthquake sound like? Check this out! #5 is a doozy. The guy was enjoying the ride…until he wasn’t… 🫨 archive.org/details/karl...

Lite (and fun) science for heavy times www.science.org/content/arti...

It’s gonna be so confusing for everyone who needs to drive there

Speaking of earthquakes along the Atlantic Seaboard! If you felt it, pls report it! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Hot times on Friday night ⛷️

A pretty good bridge

The seismologist never wants to give in to Henny Pennyism, but a M3.5 near Boron reminds us that recent large quakes left a pretty big gap in the Mojave desert.

#SRL remains near and dear to my heart because it maintains high @seismosocam.bsky.social standards whilst allowing room for papers that don’t fit conventional boxes 👻

Enough with the tease. My outside the boxest idea for investigating active faults in low-strain-rate regions. Has she lost her ever-lovin’ mind? Or created a whole new discipline, spectral-seismology? Time will tell. 👻👻👻 pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

Anybody up for something on the lighter side?

This is a teaser 👻

The poignancy of a window seat: fire scars perilously close to Mt Wilson, and Pacific Palisades reduced to two dimensions 😢

We weren’t in that scene but rather behind it, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The brilliance of the day could not be diminished or dampened by a little cold weather. In fact I hardly remember the weather that day.

The death toll from the SoCal fires inches closer to the toll from the ‘94 Northridge earthquake. More structures were destroyed in the fires than the earthquake, and the total property losses will likely be higher.

Ime, having one, and especially two, women in a room changes the tenor of discourse, and wards off easy tendencies towards bias and worse.

Speaking of disasters, I hesitate to call attention to a Comment that makes one reasonable point amidst a sea of poorly informed points, but the opportunity to reply led to some interesting new insights about the 1886 Charleston earthquake. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/tsr/arti...
