Earthquakes, Active tectonics, Geohazards at the University of East Anglia

In the last two weeks, we’ve been deploying a seismic network in St. Vincent, aiming at understanding the seismicity and structure of the La Soufrière volcano. We deployed 270 seismic sensors (red-strydes; yellow-smartsolo). Great team work #seismology#geophysics#UEA special thanks to SRC of UWI

We are planning some exciting new things for the ISCE+ course – e.g. processing data using ISCE3, making the most of NISAR standard product interferograms – alongside the 'classic' theory and data analysis content. Keep an eye out for the registration announcement if you are interested!

We're excited to announce our 2026 series of technical courses! Applications to register for each course will open separately ahead of their scheduled dates, and will be accessible through the respective course page. See all course pages ➡️ loom.ly/2zDiOrE

Graphic listing upcoming 2026 technical courses:
June 8–August 28: Seismology Skill Building Workshop (SSBW)
July 13–17: Using MsPASS for Data Processing on HPC and Cloud Systems
July 20–22: InSAR Processing and Theory using GMTSAR
July 23–31: GNSS Data Processing and Analysis with GAMIT/GLOBK and track
August 3–7: InSAR Processing and Analysis (ISCE+)
November 2 & 4: Imaging P to S conversion data in 3D with plane wave migration

We are advertising for a Lecturer in Physical Oceanography, closing date 31 March. If you have research interests in the shelf seas, estuarine and coastal oceans then this could be for you! And you could do research using UEA's fleet of ocean gliders vacancies.uea.ac.uk/vacancies/20...

Millions of people live within 100km of a volcano that has had at least one significant eruption. Yet the warning signs that signal a shift from mild activity to a high-impact eruption remain unclear. A major new £3.7M research project aims to change this... www.bristol.ac.uk/cabot/news/2...

The M6.1 shallow #earthquake near Bigadic, Turkey, occurred on a normal fault system, possibly the Sindirgi-Sincanli Fault Zone. A similar event occurred near Simav in 2011 and generated significant damage around the epicenter. ⚒️🧪

We are opening a post-doctoral position to study earthquake ruptures and earthquake cycle based on analogue modeling. Join our group that goes from field to image processing, numerical models, all the way to analogue models, to try to understand earthquake cycle. Check out the announcement.

Sentinel-1C(!) acquired new SAR data over Myanmar yesterday. Here are the azimuth and range offsets. Not particularly unexpected (right-lateral slip, 400 km+ long rupture), given earlier InSAR/image offset results, but surprisingly clean, given S1C is not out of its commissioning phase.

Azimuth offsets of the Myanmar earthquake from Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1C data. Positive displacements are in the line-of-sight (LOS) direction. Range offsets of the Myanmar earthquake from Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1C data. Positive displacements are in the line-of-sight (LOS) direction.

The whole #MyanmarEarthquake rupture in one interferogram! This is three consecutive wide swath frames of ALOS-2 data, provided by JAXA through agreement with NASA. The line-of-sight (LOS) is ~perpendicular to fault strike, so most of what you see is vertical motion at bends and steps of the fault.
