On the contemporary front; semi-mainstream but definitely stuff by Lankum & Mitski if you don’t have it already. Classical is so hard when the recording makes such a difference! As an Australian maybe I can plug something by Peter Sculthorpe or Elena Kats-Chernin.

Forgot to add media - responsible for this post!
Super excited to see this published in the home of diamond open access seismology! Across the full workflow (writer, reviewer, handling, copy) @weareseismica.bsky.social is fantastic!
Maybe we can revise the code upwards to account for Lucy Jones’ functional recovery standard and end up cancelling everything out!
Almost looks like a print!
It’s the end of my first week at Fleet Space - really interesting and invigorating to see things from the industry perspective. I’ve certainly learnt more this week than the early days of my PhD!
I don’t know, you haven’t seen my living room
Hi Brian, I will be in Australia by then, so I will see if I can make it - it looks like a great set of speakers! Later that month I’m starting up as head of ML at Fleet Space / I’m speaking with RSES about a visiting position, so most likely will be in the ACT somewhere
Gas properties of toys:
- They expand to fill available space
- pressure (on your feet) and volume inversely correlated
- sometimes the thermodynamic demons only care about the partial pressure of Lego
I should also note that my partner is (unconscionably) in the PG Tips camp
Yorkshire all the way mate (as the only one you can also buy in Australia!!)
That’s why I stick to the wave propagation side, where linear continuum mechanics gets you 90% of the way there for most things :)
Interesting! I think it’s still an open question as to what the characteristic timescale of the earthquake nucleation process is (I’m not an expert), whereas even classical weather models are often ok on the scale of hours - days…
Models for ultrafast ensembling (I.e fourcastnet) require training on physics based simulators though, so not exactly comparable as we don’t have those for earthquakes. Although there might be others in weather you are referring to that train directly on data!
Joyfully experiencing one last Oxford tradition (having your bike stolen in Michaelmas term) before I head back to Aus! From international, to national, to personal, a wonderful week all round…
In Australia, the absence of relief in the interior means that the timescales of groundwater flow can be even older ... maybe even millions of years.
And, interestingly, this means that tilting due to dynamic stresses from the mantle may influence the flow patterns.
Interested to read this! (Both links seem to go to part 2 for me though?)
How can we map anomalies on the core-mantle boundary nearly 3000 km deep?
@CarlMartin_
presents a fresh Bayesian methodology and its application to the anomaly at the base of the Hawaiian mantle plume and a 2-part paper.

Signed - the Tories desperate attempts to manufacture a wedge have no place in scientific society.
The vine leaves
Once a shield from sun
Have turned brown
Fallen apples
Under my feet
Crunch, crunch, crunch
Brown leaves murmur
All trees must bend
Beneath the cold sky
People seem to give of themselves more here on bluesky than back in the other place — in that spirit, here are 3 (bad) haiku in celebration of Autumn:
Do you do only flyovers or does GNS do ground sampling as well at the moment?
We have to rate geoscience above a failed relationship, right…..?
Embrace the generecisation of Perovskite™️!

It's #birdoftheyear Australia time once again! I'll be continuing to hold a torch for the superb lyrebird — cruelly underappreciated by past polls. As an adopted Canberran I won't be sad if the gang-gang carries it though...
