Final deployment of the NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite, the 12-meter radar antenna reflector was successfully completed August 15. Congratulations to all people involved in this important milestone of the mission, in USA and India. #NASA #ISRO #SAR #satellite #NISAR www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/giant-r...

It's been a great start to the @esa.int Living Planet Symposium 2025! #lps25 If you're in Vienna, join us at the poster session this afternoon (see below) and to hear about "Routine Global Volcano Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 Data and the LiCSAlert Algorithm", presented by @geoandyhooper.bsky.social
On 28 March 25, a M7.7 earthquake & powerful aftershocks struck Myanmar, leading to widespread destruction & the devastating loss of thousands of lives. COMET scientists measured resulting surface deformation using @esa.int Sentinel-1 satellite data: comet.nerc.ac.uk/myanmar-eart...
The new eruption has unfortunately breached the protective barrier to the north of Grindavík according to IMO
Yes, great idea
PAGER USGS model out… desastating consecuences of the M7.6 Mandalay earthquake
Thousands of casualties expected
Huge economic disruption expected
Shakemap by USGS for the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar on Mar 28, 2025. Shaking expected up to violet. There will be heavy damage.
The USGS already released a shakemap for the M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar a few minutes ago. This will be devastating. ⚒️🧪

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.
⚒️🧪 Still no maps from Veðurstofan, but RÚV says that this fissure is 2.5 km long (which is much shorter than the 7 km of the August eruption), has a lower flow rate than several earlier eruptions, and has extended the furthest north of any Sundhnúksgígar eruption so far.

Iceland Eruption has started! Check out the fire fountains.

Here's me and @laramani14.bsky.social on German news @dwnewstoday.bsky.social talking about the neglected state of Global Volcanic Risk:
Congratulations to Professor Chris Davies who is the 2024 AGU William Gilbert Award recipient! 👏
The award recognises Chris's "outstanding contributions to our understanding of the Earth's core."
