🚨 QuakeHack 2025 was a blast! Huge congrats to the winning team wave2wave 🌊 who tackled earthquake research straight from the waveforms. 🧠 They were thrilled to take home a Raspberry Shake! 📦 It’s en route to Santa Cruz – more action shots soon! 🙌

What an incredible week at #QuakeHack: A statistical seismology hackathon for early-career researchers in the Swiss mountains. 19 people from around the world, four teams, four self-defined projects. We spent the week learning from each other, exploring new ideas, and figuring things out together.

#QuakeHack starts this Sunday! 💫 Together with Aron, Marta, and @vaniller.bsky.social, I can't wait to welcome a fantastic group of early-career scientists to Castasegna to tackle unsolved problems in statistical seismology. We were lucky to select incredibly enthusiastic and diverse participants!

💫 paper alert 💫 Marta's first paper of her PhD has just been published: nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/... In it, she describes the development and testing of a harmonized #earthquake #forecasting model for Europe. Not an easy thing to do. You should check out the paper!

Towards a harmonized operational earthquake forecasting model for Europe

Abstract. We develop a harmonized earthquake forecasting model for Europe based on the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model to describe the spatiotemporal evolution of seismicity. We propose...

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

The ACS has deleted its website on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Respect. And with that move, have shown they are worthy of none of the latter. People ask why no-one stands up to fascists, this is why - they are too worried about their own standing to challenge it. www.acs.org/about/divers...

Only a few days left to apply to join the #Quakehack, the first statistical seismology hackathon for early-career scientists! Early-career scientists without institutional support are also encouraged to apply, financial support can be made available. Info and applications: quakehack.ethz.ch

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

Who here is going to #SSA2025? We are hosting a session titled "improving the state of the art of earthquake forecasting throigh models, testing and communication". See you there? 🌟

With so many new people, time for a new intro: I came from pure maths to statistical seismology 5 years ago, and I love it! 🤩 whenever volcano friends need help in the field, you'll find me happily hiking unbelievable landscapes. But usually, I'll be behind my computer, just as excited (almost)

🌉New issue of #SRL🌉 The November issue is here! It includes a Focus Section on statistical seismology and probabilistic earthquake forecasting in honor of the late seismologists Yan Kagan, Dave Jackson and Ilya Zaliapin ⚒️ pubs.geoscienceworld.org/srl/issue/95/6

Alright bluesky, be ready for quakehack.ethz.ch - the first statistical #seismology #hackathon for early-career scientists. @vaniller.bsky.social, Aron, Marta and I will bring enthusiastic people to a beautiful place where they will form groups, define projects, and work on them for a week.

This fieldwork is getting better and better

While taking off a seismic array in Hawaii: Manta rays snorkelling, stargazing in Mauna Kea, turtle spotting on green sand beach, great hikes, fantastic outdoor… with @leilamizrahi.bsky.social

Am I the luckiest person ever to be on the top of Mauna Kea when there is a comet passing by? Photo taken by my dear friend Federica Lanza, with her phone.

The floor is lava: HARD mode. (everything is lava)

What an amazing start to our fieldwork this week: comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS over Kīlauea

@leilamizrahi.bsky.social and I are incredibly honored and thankful to have been awarded a community grant from @seismosocam.bsky.social! 🥳 Stay tuned for more details about the upcoming event soon! www.seismosoc.org/news/ssa-com...

While earthquakes cannot be deterministically predicted, operational earthquake forecasting systems can provide valuable insights into the likelihood of future quakes.

Wow, so many new followers in such a short time! Hello everyone! I'm Leila, I do statistical #seismology. I mostly look at past seismicity and from that try to say something about future seismicity, aka #earthquake forecasting. (1/4)

Am Freitag konnte ich in einem Interview mit SRF zusammenfassen, wie vorhersehbar Erdbeben sind: Man kann erdbeben nicht vorhersehen. Aber nach einem relativ starken Beben ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit für ein noch grösseres vorübergehend um Grössenordnungen höher als an einem "normalen" Tag.

So excited about my first adult paper (without my supervisor!). For earthquake forecasting, computationally heavy simulations are usually needed to get the expected aftershock numbers. Together with Dario, we do the same thing 4 million times faster using machine learning. doi.org/10.1785/0220...

⭐ new publication! ⭐ I'm thrilled that our paper on how we developed and tested a suite of #earthquake #forecasting model candidates for #Switzerland is out in BSSA: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/art...

So, now that we've all made it to #EGU24 and are already overwhelmed by all the science, may I challenge you to stay until the very end? I will say something about higher-order aftershock modeling, but the whole session should be cool and worth staying alive for until then!

I'm at #EGU24! Forgot the mandatory picture, but did take the (night) #Train2EGU 🚞 If you want to hear about forecasting induced and natural seismicity in the Hengill geothermal field, catch me on Thursday morning in room G2

Yay, our paper is out! :)

Vanille Ritz@vaniller.bsky.social · 3y ago

🚨New paper alert!🚨 So happy that this work with @leilamizrahi.bsky.social is finally out! Ee pseudo-prospectively test different flavours of ETAS and seismogenic index on the Hengill field in Iceland. Read it open access (thanks to the @ethzurich.bsky.social Library): doi.org/10.1029/2023...
