New @uk-comet.bsky.social webinar now available online www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBIb...
@ekbal.bsky.social presents 'Disasters by Design'
All about the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey earthquake.
A fault line running under Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, has the potential to release a 6.5 magnitude earthquake.
BGS geoscientist @ekbal.bsky.social & partners spoke with @geographical.co.uk about the fault line what the impact of the quake could be.

Only a week left to submit your @eurogeosciences.bsky.social EGU25 abstract to this excellent and new session on Disasters, Diseases, and Health challenges! Session details and abstract submission here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...
Co-convened by @ekbal.bsky.social and others!
Happy to share that I've been accepted onto the @ukri.org Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Science Committee.
NERC is the UK's primary earth & env research funding agency. The committee advises on priority investment areas and policies to support the delivery of NERC's science strategy ⚒️
Last night satellite #Sentinel1C launched into space! It will join its sibling to restore the Sentinel-1 constellation, gathering more frequent, global, accurate data to monitor changes on the Earth's surface. It will aid COMET research into #volcanoes🌋and #earthquakes🌎 and support event response.
Multicriteria analysis of meat and milk alternatives. The analysis displays the synthesis scores of a food product’s overall performance in replacing meat or dairy per calorie (A) or per serving (B). The score is based on the nutritional, health, environmental, and cost changes of replacing meat and dairy with meat and milk alternatives. It gives equal weight to health, environmental, and cost impacts. The health domain includes the nutritional and mortality analyses with equal weights. The environmental domain includes analyses of changes in GHG emissions, land use, and water use, with weights assigned based on the needed contribution of dietary changes toward staying within food-related environmental limits (or planetary boundaries), which meant assigning a greater weight to changes in GHG emissions (0.65) than changes in land use (0.17) and water use (0.18).

"unprocessed plant-based foods such as soybeans, peas, and beans are best suited for replacing meat and dairy in high-income countries"
Absolutely! Then it becomes fun and meaningful at the same time. 😊
I love coming back to Indonesia, mostly because I get to work with some wonderful people. These guys are pushing the frontiers of DRR science in one of the most geohazard-prone countries in the world.
The Sendai Tracker reports are all open and transparent, including their methodologies. While that doesn't mean there aren't errors in the underlying data, it's a good first step in trying to look at the problem from a more data-centric point of view
Absolutely! Not only will it help us understand perceptions of damage but it will also help us identify the most vulnerable and design practical action plans to build resilience amongst those groups.
Fewer people are dying as a result of disasters involving natural hazards, but many more people are having their lives disrupted, according to the Sendai Framework Monitor 2024 update. 🧪⚒️

Thank you for this!
2024 is the 170th anniversary of the most famous public health story, John Snow and his map of cholera cases in Soho. You’ve likely heard how he heroically traced an epidemic to a single water source: the broad street pump. But that’s not how the story really ended…

🚨New paper!
The second paper from @myfaultmanu.bsky.social's PhD thesis investigates the active tectonic deformation across the Western Anatolian Extensional Province in Türkiye using Sentinel-1 derived InSAR velocities.⚒️🧪🪨🛰️

We are very excited to invite you to our Disasters, Diseases, and Health impacts session @eurogeosciences.bsky.social! You can find out more details on our session and access to abstract submission here: lnkd.in/enHSUTDA
Co-convened w/ @ekbal.bsky.social and several others!
Welcome to all the Bluesky newbies! We've created a starter pack of compound events and multi hazard researchers and groups. Please send through suggestions for who else to add to the list

Happy to be added to this pack!
This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.
What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social
Please could you add me to this starter pack. Thank you!
Thanks Dan! I do now remember that I asked to go on that a while ago. 😅 It's probably where all these new followers are coming from!
Ohh thank you!
Happy to be on this list!
Happy to be added to the Earth science pack please! ⚒️
Wasn't expecting this when I woke up this morning! ❄️
I'd love to connect with anyone working in satellite remote sensing/earth observation! 🛰️🌏
I've started a list of everyone I've found so far - please let me know if you're missing from the list, or if there's anyone else I should add!
