Saturday marked the 120th anniversary of the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Temblor CEO Ross Stein read a passage from Jack London's story of the quake over a montage put together by @kpixtv.bsky.social reporter Brian Hackney.

A TV news host in a tv studio interviewing an earthquake scientist (Ross Stein) online about the 1906 earthquake
I managed to catch an interview with Ross Stein from @temblorinc.bsky.social talking about the 1906 earthquake from Jack London’s perspective on this evening’s @kpixtv.bsky.social newscast.
When we think about the aftermath of major earthquakes, we often first (and rightly) begin with the population. But another consideration is how such an event's effects might impact the regional and global economy. Take Tokyo, for example, in Lauren Koenig's latest for TEN. ⚒️
What would happen to global markets should a major earthquake strike Tokyo? A 2022 report considers this question. The answer? It depends. Find out more, in Temblor's latest.

A number of papers exploring the 1886 Charleston earthquake do not agree with one another. The event and the fault it ruptured could have bent railroad tracks or uplifted terraces -- or not!
@beccapox.bsky.social untangles the controversy.

An earthquake that struck a remote part of Alaska on December 6, 2025 serves as an example of successful seismic hazard assessment. Temblor co-founders Ross Stein and Volkan Sevilgen discuss the event and consider both previous and future fault interactions.

Tsunami early warning systems offer important information about impending waves. New systems, like one that uses prompt elastogravity signals (or PEGS) can increase the timeliness and accuracy of warnings. For more, check out Temblor's latest, by @beccapox.bsky.social

In April of 2025, a M6.2 earthquake struck along the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone in Turkey's Marmara Sea. The capital city of Istanbul sits on the northern shores. In our latest, experts dive into the details.

Just 10 days after the Kamchatka tsunami hit the shores of Samoa, the island nation received a payout from the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company. Temblor played a role in this process.

Temblor's analysis of the July 2025 magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka quake explores some mysteries (a moderate tsunami, a curious eruption), and finds that the 10-day foreshock was exceptionally productive.

After the mainshock, aftershocks commenced, including a magnitude 6.9 event.
These earthquakes result from subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the westernmost part of the North American Plate (also known as the Okhotsk Plate). For more information, please visit the USGS event page. (3/end)
This earthquake is among the strongest ever recorded, ranking in the top 10. On July 20, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake preceded the mainshock. Since then, 3 magnitude 6.6 earthquakes have occurred, as well as more than 50 events greater than or equal to magnitude 5, and dozens of smaller events. (2/n)
Temblor map of the M 8.8 Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake. The peninsula and other land is color coded according to shaking expected in your lifetime, per Temblor's PUSH model. The mainshock is marked by a bright blue star. Smaller quakes are marked by circles that scale with magnitude and are color coded by age in days. Credit: Temblor
Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)
Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.
By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪
Temblor's latest, by @beccapox.bsky.social, looks at how modeling of slow-slip earthquakes can also help scientists understand slow-moving landslides, a common hazard along the U.S. West Coast. ⚒️

And so, we will strongly recommend that the House Bill be amended to fully align with the Senate Bill.
Our letter supporting NEHRP and NVEWS reauthorization is cosigned by over 500 scientists, engineers, insurers, and members of the public.
We agree that a bipartisan Senate bill, S.320, supports NEHRP at a level requisite for safety, preparedness, and national security.
Support earthquake and volcano science by adding your signature! ⚒️🧪
The USGS, FEMA, NIST, and the NSF draw critical funds for earthquake and volcano research, monitoring, mitigation, and emergency response from these programs. Hearings are scheduled for Tuesday, May 20.
Temblor CEO Ross Stein, Paul Segall, Greg Beroza, and Ahmed Elbanna are urging Congress to reauthorize the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program and the National Volcano Early Warning System.
Add your signature. Public support is welcome. Do not sign if you work for a U.S. federal agency.
This workshop is meant to help early career Earth scientists at universities and federal agencies whose futures are clouded by probationary firings, reductions in force, and the freezing of grant funds.

Need some tips to prep for West Coast quakes? This piece by @debi-kilb.bsky.social, @inseismoland.bsky.social, John Rekoske and Duncan Agnew has some advice, as well as a great discussion of the April 14 M5.2 Julian earthquake. ⚒️🧪
In Temblor's latest, @scrippsocean.bsky.social scientists discuss last week's M5.2 Julian earthquake. It caused little damage, but reminds residents in earthquake country to be prepared! Also, don't miss the fantastic animation of simulated ground motions.
