Found a fun little article in TAO, our local earth science journal, on (gasp!) modeling of fault-bend fold. Paper is led by Wen-Jeng Huang, currently a professor at NCU. Also we have the best acronym for a journal. tao.cgu.org.tw/index.php/ar...
Pleased to announce the 4th major release of the @wsmproject.bsky.social, the biggest update of the database since the project began.
With thousands of new data, the 2025 WSM brings the most comprehensive picture yet of Earth's present-day stress field.

1. Rupture propagated from N to S
2. Max. offset >4m
3. Rupture length ~500km
It should be one of the EPA superfund site that is currently being cleaned up.

Check out our paper that came out in @science.org today. It uses some really cool experiments to explore the rheology of temperate ice. We find that contrary to colder ice this warm ice has a value of n=1!!

My partner *SHUTS DOWN* his laptop after a day of work. I think I just found my new year resolution, starting from once a week….

I think I’ve reached peak Bluesky.
Train ride sadly came to an end in Wilmington because a chunk of concrete fell off from a railroad bridge north of Baltimore 😢 The infrastructure act can’t come soon enough. #train2AGU
Crowded Acela but quiet cafe car 👌🏼 #Amtrak #train2AGU
The fact that I don’t have to pack for flying gives me immense joy. #AGU24 #train2AGU
It just means that in addition to shear, there is also implosion or explosion in the source. These cookies are shortbread with macha powder as the coloring 🍵
Oh well.
No insight into the earthquakes in California from me, but here are some focal mechanism cookies. Most of them are strike slips but some with non-double-couple component 😉

The Swiss Seismological Service and its Real-Time Seismology group are looking for a Postdoc researcher with strong programming skills to support and expand the Earthquake Early Warning software infrastructure.
Apply until 8 January 2025:
Something very close to my heart, my alma mater NCU, and my research. PTS Taiwan made an in-depth report on active fault survey in Taiwan. Just aired and no caption yet.

I was reminded of this great book 'Escape From Model Land' by Erica Thompson that I read a couple of years ago — it takes a very broad view of the term 'model'; i.e., not just sophisticated numerical models but also conceptual models and narratives, the ways we explain the world — highly recommended
Really feeling the morning bike lane traffic today in this prolonged dry spell. Is Boston the new California? #bikecommuting #onemorelane
Might be a good time to read up on the history of science & how it's fundamentally a social process (as it is carried out by humans) & how it's deeply intertwined with power relations. Decades of literature! Will be super helpful when having (yet another) debate about science and politics! 🧪⚕️🛟
Happy that @pvdstreets.bsky.social is here. They make this rad little city I call home ever more enjoyable!
On a brighter note, I secured my Amtrak tickets for #train2AGU 🚅 #choochoo
so a lot of people are talking about the 4b movement.
a lot of western women, specifically younger ones, who seem to have largely heard about it through social media via other western, non-korean people, or by articles that cover it with a tinge of orientalist exoticism.
if i may, some thoughts:

It's now live: QuakeHack, the he first statistical #seismology
#hackathon for early-career scientists is happening next year! 🎉
Applications are open until end of January: quakehack.ethz.ch
Share the word!
With thanks to the Swiss Seismological Service, @seismosocam.bsky.social for the support
A dyke intrusion into the host rock seen on a rocky seashore in Corsica, France.
I went to a summer school in Corsica about earthquake and faulting. But will you look at this dyke. #geology
This story hits close to home in many ways – back in midcoast Maine this summer, I listened to much discussion of the RT fallout.
Excellent reporting by Simson & Rabinowitz @canarymediainc.bsky.social, and from @jtemple.bsky.social before that:

A map of hurricane Beryl’s pathway superimposed on sea surface temperature anomalies created by the BBC based on NOAA data.
This figure illustrates how record warm ocean temperatures fueled Hurricane Beryl, causing it to intensify faster, reach greater strength, maintain that strength for longer, and likely dump more rain than it would have otherwise. Source: www.bbc.com/news/article...
As an old as 👵🏼 PhD the struggle and self doubt is too real. But hey everything I got to do is the wildest dreams of my former self.
