Quickly plot the rough location of the 2025 Mw8.8 Kamchatka earthquake (USGS hypocenter) on Figure 1 in Pinegina et al. (2018). I wonder if the 2025 event re-rupture the northern rupture of the 1952 Mw9.0 event? Also, did the 2025 event rupture across the "segment boundary" at ~N53?

@seislologist.bsky.social looks like you might need to update the shirt after todays event!!!!

Sorry Tim.

A 700-year rupture sequence of great eastern Aleutian earthquakes from tsunami evidence and modeling New research from the USGS, University of Hawaiʻi, and the University of California, Santa Cruz provides fresh insights into a prehistoric sequence of earthquakes in the Aleutian Islands. Researchers ...

USGS research has uncovered a 700-year sequence of major earthquakes in the eastern Aleutian Islands through tsunami evidence and modeling. This work enhances our understanding of seismic hazards in the region.

Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could be even worse than feared A once-every-500-years earthquake in the Pacific Northwest could shake for five minutes and cause 100-foot tsunami waves. New research says that would be just the start of the horrors.

National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration (Gift Article) The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

“We’d be losing the cornerstone report to communicate to the public the risks we face with climate change and how we can move forward,” said Dustin Mulvaney, professor of environmental studies @SJSU, an author on the southwest regional chapter.

Bummed on the overall lack of surface rupture pics from the recent earthquake in my feeds!!!!

Myanmar Is in Ruins. And America Isn’t Coming. A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 27. Buildings pancaked in Mandalay. Temples in Bagan shattered. Entire villages buried.

Our hearts are with Myanmar today. Also filled with tremendous sorrow and shame for our country that USAID isn't there to help.

I get there Tuesday. Save me an XL if you remember!!!

Where can I order one!!!!

Awesome shirt. Heres our 1994 Cascadia one from Humboldt

Sweet. Give Jose a beer and whoop whoop from me.

Na. Went down on the ice walking trail. Broke fibula.

Only half grabens? Where are the horsts!

Maybe just an educated history nerd. Geeks are cool too tho.

At least I have 6 Nations Rugby to watch.

Plese share

Fog over Truckee all the way up to Donner Summit

I like the coastal boundary where it is because its like the southernmost redwoods.

I draw the line where Dodgers is no longer on the radio. Usually Bridgeport.

Drove around anyway!!!

9 km

Magical INSAR led us to rupture from the M5.8 Parker Butte Nevada earthquake. 1.5 km of surface rupture, right lateral, max offsets 2-5 cm, on NNW plane. Conjugate to NE trending aftershocks.

Loving the background music. Cool grooves for fault hunting

I've partied with all those partiers. At a party and not at a party!

Always down for a fault party!

And rollin in the field with @keepitrheol.bsky.social makes an epic ucsc alumni team. Props to UNR grad students Dom Vlaha and Nicole Wagoner as well.
