Our latest study in Nature, together with colleagues from @geomarkiel.bsky.social and universities from Greece, shows what happened beneath Santorini earlier this year when tens of thousands earthquakes shook the islands and the seafloor. It was magma. We also have 1/2 www.gfz.de/en/press/new...

This is one of the most interesting sequences I've worked on so far! It's great to see how machine learning can provide us with these detailed images of seismicity in near real time. I'm glad to have been able to contribute to this project.

Have you ever wondered how seismic swarms around slow slip events (SSEs) might work? In our recent work, we study the complex seismic migrations around the onset of a shallow SSEs in the Copiapó ridge in 2023. (1/2) agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Looking forward to a week full of science and networking at #EGU25! Join my talk on Thursday afternoon if you want to learn about the seismicity in Northern Chile and how swarms reveal the mechanisms of slow slip. #Train2EGU

The registration for our International Training School for AI in Seismology is open now! The school combines lectures, poster sessions, practical tutorials, and networking opportunities. We're looking forward to welcoming you in Leipzig in May!

Our paper on QSeek is out in Seismica now. QSeek detects earthquakes and locates them precisely by backprojecting deep learning phase probability curves in time and space. And that at a blazingly fast speed! Thanks Marius Isken for this great work!

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...

Hi Seismo-Bluesky! I decided to test a pipeline with SeisBench, PyOcto, NonLinLoc, and HypoDD on the Santorini sequence. The level of activity (>4,500 events) is truly stunning! There are repeated bursts migrating backwards and forwards, spreading outwards from a narrow, almost linear channel.

OTD twenty years ago the 3rd strongest earthquake ever recorded by seismometers struck offshore the island of Sumatra. A tsunami followed killing more than 200,000 people. In the aftermath we helped develop a tsunami warning system for the region. Read more here: www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/press/new...
