This International Women and Girls in Science Day, we’re celebrating #UWEnvironment women who are advancing science and inspiring future generations. Meet some of the researchers breaking boundaries and shaping our understanding of the world. #WomenInScience environment.uw.edu/news/2025/02...

Happy #FieldworkFriday! This winter season keeps providing, with some incredible hoar frost by site ODUC. It grows in low temp & high moisture areas, where sunlight & precipitation haven't yet reached. Sol Duc Valley has had perfect conditions for growing these crystals as of late!

USGS Geophysicist and ESS Affiliate Assistant Professor Erin Wirth wins Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers! πŸŽ‰ "It is such a privilege to do this work every day in support of communities in the PNW and with my colleagues at USGS and ESS." ess.uw.edu/2025/02/erin...

ICYMI: Sunday, January 26th marked the 325th anniversary of the last great Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. Watch our video with PNSN Director, Harold Tobin, and UW College of the Environment to learn about the history and lasting impacts of the event! youtube.com/shorts/pNL4x...

In 2024 the PNSN located 3,272 earthquake within Washington and Oregon. Another pretty typical year for seismicity in the PNW. Check out our most recent blog post which reviews our 2024 Earthquake Catalog. pnsn.org/blog/2025/01...

Happy Year of the Snake! 🐍 Wishing everyone peace and good health. 🍊 🧧 πŸ’œ πŸ’›

🌊 325 years ago, the Cascadia Subduction Zone unleashed a massive earthquake and tsunami. 🌍 Harold Tobin, @pnsn1.bsky.social Director, shares about this historical event. youtube.com/shorts/G11k7... #CascadiaEarthquake #EarthquakePreparedness #TsunamiPreparedness @uwess.bsky.social #UWEnvironment

What's it like presenting your research to 25,000 scientists? ESS PhD student Haskelle White-Gianella shares an insider's view on her first AGU conference, what it's like giving a talk to the AGU scientific community, and making connections for her career and future as a planetary scientist! πŸͺπŸŒŽ

Happy #FieldWorkFriday - earthquake anniversary edition! January 26 marks 325 years since the last Cascadia Subduction Zone megaquake. It's only a matter of time before there's another dangerous quake in the PNW. That's why we operate a real-time seismic monitoring network!

PNSN Director, Harold Tobin, talks about last great earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone on the 325th Anniversary, January 26th 2025. This video was made in collaboration with @uwenvironment.bsky.social. youtu.be/5CGYHnAa8iM

Happy #FieldworkFriday! New station METAL needed a visit to fix a power issue that presented itself once snowy winter conditions had set in. Sites that work well in spring/summer/fall weather can sometimes act up in the winter. Any day we visit a site on skis is a good day!

EarthLab summer internships offer a robust, cohort-based experience for UW undergrads. Students enrolled as of Spring Quarter 2025 from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. To learn more about the program in general, and our cohort model, please click below! 🌎 earthlab.uw.edu/students/sum...

ESS Professor Fang-Zhen Teng awarded Alumni Excellence Research Award from alma mater University of Maryland for his expertise in isotope geochemistry. πŸŽ‰

Happy #FieldworkFriday & Happy New Year! 2024 was a great year for PNSN Field Operations. We have lots in store for 2025 with new sites and station rebuilds on both sides of the Cascades in WA & OR; including the final 9 @USGS_ShakeAlert stations in WA!

Sorry to all the fans out there, but desert planets like those in 'Dune' and 'Star Wars' are unlikely to host life, NASA says. ESS PhD student Haskelle White-Gianella is quoted.

Happy New Year, Huskies! πŸ’œπŸ’›βœ¨

Happy Holidays from the PNSN! As we celebrate we also mark the 20th anniversary of the 2004 M9.1 Sumatra earthquake & tsunamiβ€”a reminder of the power of our planet. Our friends at EarthScope put together an info packet here: earthscope.org/geophysical-event/historical-m-9-1-sumatra-2004/

Incredibly excited to annonce the publication of our new experimental thermodynamic work at high pressures with the definition of a novel thermodynamic invariant point: The Cenotectic (ΞΊ) nature.com/articles/s41...

Has a great time at #AGU24 staffing an @uofwa.bsky.social booth with my @uwenvironment.bsky.social coworkers, catching up with colleagues & listening to cool science talks. @uwess.bsky.social @undergradresearch.bsky.social @uwsafs.bsky.social @waseagrant.bsky.social @cig-uw.bsky.social

Another great day at #AGU24 @agu.org with our @uwenvironment.bsky.social team giving out some fun @uofwa.bsky.social swag & talking with conference attendees. Back at it tomorrow. @uwsafs.bsky.social @uwess.bsky.social @cig-uw.bsky.social @uwfreshwater.bsky.social @waseagrant.bsky.social

ESS faculty Fang-Zhen Teng, Marine Denolle, and David Montgomery are among recipients of the @uwenvironment.bsky.social's new Seed Grant Program for cross-college collaborations addressing environmental challenges through a system-based approach! Read more: environment.uw.edu/news/2024/11...

Happy #FieldworkFriday! Snow blocked trucks, but our field techs hiked a mile with tools & solar panels slung over them like pack mules to up to OSR. This site also relays two others to Lake Quinault School and is a critical part of our network on the Olympic Peninsula.
