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. geographical.co.uk/news/how-a-f...

How a fault line in Indonesia could cause a devastating quake

Scientists warn that a recently discovered fault could unleash a catastrophic future earthquake in Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta

Sentinel-1C captures first radar images

Less than a week after its launch, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite has delivered its first radar images of Earth – offering a glimpse into its capabilities for environmental monitoring. These ini...

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.

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.

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. 🧪⚒️ More info here: www.undrr.org/news/undrr-s...

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… #histmed #medicalhistory #medsky

🚨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.⚒️🧪🪨🛰️ OA paper here: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

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 go.bsky.app/Cy8PZju

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

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! go.bsky.app/4PMRhNL

A pair of strong earthquakes struck off the eastern Coast of Cuba just a few hours ago. What is currently known: The first estimated at magnitude 5.9 and the second mag 6.8–movement was along a strike-slip fault (aka blocks of land moved horizontally) ⚒️🧵 earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Weekends are for wholesome walks out in the countryside. I better get this out now while I'm still a bit new on here... I LOVE trees! 🌳🌲🍃 #Naturewalk

I am so excited for everyone to see this amazing story about the mysterious seismic signal, mega-tsunami, giant rockslide, and perpetual wave machine of a fjord! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hey 🧪⚒️ folx, I've made a starter pack of #geohazard & #disaster people & orgs. I've tried to include people working in different sectors & would love to add more. Help me out! If you want to be on this list, let me know, and if you'd like to be removed, let me know that too. 🌋⛈️🌍 go.bsky.app/K1RqXtr

Hello scienceski! 🧪🪨I have a spatial map of a variable, and the 95% values either side of the expected value for each pixel. It's non Gaussian. Any thoughts/ideas on a nice way to show these values that's not just three maps of the 2.5%, expected value and the 97.5%?

This is an urgent and important call to action for fundamental geoscience research to inform disaster risk intervention measures across central Asia. 🧪🪨 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s a dreadful irony that for many of the 400 million people in sub-Saharan Africa who lack access to even a basic water supply, there is likely to be a significant reserve in aquifers sitting just a few metres below their feet. A great piece by my colleague.🧪 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Solar power could enable 400 million Africans without water to tap into groundwater aquifers. However, we must ensure smaller projects do not lose out in the rush for new technology

I love this mural on a house in the Meadows very near my home. To me it's a message of how our individual actions can collectively add up to something positive and meaningful. #climateaction

Yesterday we welcomed Prof. Khairul Munadi, the Indonesian Education & Cultural Attaché, and members of the embassy team to the British Geological Survey. We discussed strengthening BGS–Indonesia scientific partnerships on geohazards, mineral resources and geothermal energy. Lots to follow up on!

Following last week's Mw7.1 quake in Japan, the JMA issued a 'megaquake' warning for the Nankai Trough after experts stated risk of a major event is higher than normal. Kato et al. (2012) found the 2011 Tohoku quake was likely triggered by foreshocks days prior: www.theguardian.com/world/articl...
