sample or not to sample? ... sample! another 2 days on Amorgos, 9 caves, two more to go. So far, no "smoking gun," a few compressed columns, some broken stalactites, and, unfortunately, very few active speleothems. But if it were that easy, someone would have done it already... ehh research💁‍♂️

The Iranian desert is surreal

I feel a little dizzy.

Alpen in Bewegung: Die überraschenden Folgen der letzten Eiszeit

Die Alpen sind bis heute in Bewegung. Doch anders als oft vermutet, sind nicht vor allem tektonische Kräfte für ihre aktuelle Hebung verantwortlich. Forscher*innen sehen die Ursache vor allem in den l...

#RomanSiteSaturday! A section of the #Roman Eifel #aqueduct that supplied water to the city of Cologne. The vaulted underground tunnel with an inspection shaft at Mechernich-Breitenbenden was unearthed during construction work in the late 1970s. The estimated maximum flow rate of the aqueduct...🧵1/2

I'm seeking to fill a #PhD position in my #structuralgeology group @uni-jena.de on deep #geothermal resources in central Germany. The post is ideal for #geoscience students with interest in brittle deformation, #tectonic stress analysis and #fieldwork. jobs.uni-jena.de/jobposting/4...

The Alps are tectonically active. A review study by #UniJena and @gfz.bsky.social now shows that the southern edge of the Alps and western Slovenia are undergoing particularly significant deformation. ➡️ www.uni-jena.de/en/437987/how…

Me and my 20 co-authors wrote a review paper on the active tectonics of the eastern part of the Alps. We summarise data from many decades of research to see the pattern of active deformation. We discuss if it's controlled by the configuration of slabs at great depth: eos.org/editor-highl...

Tectonics and Deglaciation Govern Eastern-Southern Alps at Slow Rates - Eos

Transnational, multiproxy, and interdisciplinary datasets locate seismic hazard and show that slow-rate tectonic and deglaciation deformation overrate mantle processes in the Southern-Eastern Alps.

🌟 OPEN ACCESS 🌟 In a new #TSR paper, scientists relocate events from two swarms near Germany’s Rhenish massif. The quakes trace structures that could point to a connection with the mantle-fluid system documented for the region. ⚒️ buff.ly/pGvhJNT

Of course! more rapid reports from IRIDeS can be found here: irides.tohoku.ac.jp/research/pro... (In Japanese but it should be ok to navigate with browser translation). It’s worth checking the IRIDeS website after EQs in Japan. Reports from public health to seismology are usually posted there.

Very interesting, thanks for the clip. At that site, we measured 90cm drop to the west and 105cm fault parallel. Report here: irides.tohoku.ac.jp/media/files/... And a colleague found the likely original footage on threads: www.threads.com/@m.m.s.k.a.a...

A new video emerged which seems to show a surface rupture in Yatsushiro, Japan following the M6.8 earthquake in July! Exact location of the video would be 32°30'04.0"N 130°38'29.9"E. Absolutely wild. Only the second ever video of a surface rupture forming after the 2025 Myanmar video! ⚒️🧪 #geology

More than 2 yrs ago, I told @elsevierconnect.bsky.social their paper on "wearable motion sensor devices in sports training" cites lots of studies on tsunamis in the Arabian Sea... Still online. I even emailed two EiCs - nothing. I think we've lost. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Continued exploring Manchester's canals today. I quite like the combination of waterways, railways, brick buildings, and the general look of the industrial revolution. The Science and Industry museum is a great place to learn about that.

The old canal system in Manchester is still working, with all the locks and draw bridges. Today, there's a modern city on top.

Looks like a likely surface rupture with a scarp in this video clip. Will be curious to find out more and where this is in relation to the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake ruptures.

Dr. Amilcar Carrera-Cevallos@acarrerac.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The earthquake in Kumamoto has clearly demonstrated its power and intensity. I received a video from the area where the epicentre of the tremor was located. #earthquake #terremoto #Japan #japon
