It's been a while since I looked for earthsci education resources 😅 does anybody know of raspberry pi seismometer activities for primary level? 🙏❤️⚡

🧪⚒️ Notice how newer updates about the Kamchatka quake say M8.8, though it was M8.7 earlier? That doesn't mean something changed about the quake - it just means people were able to consider more data in the magnitude calculation. This kind of revision happens a lot, especially for bigger quakes.

Scary example of why scientists advise people to "drop cover hold" rather than "run outside" during strong shaking.

Kamchatka, 8.8 magnitude earthquake

Are you working on low-strain region (e.g. SCR) earthquakes / faults / hazard? Consider contributing to our special edition! More than happy to receive DMs with queries 🤗 (Have been away from social media for a while, hence the delay in reposting!)

Call for papers – Special Issue in GSL on Intraplate Tectonics: Earthquakes, active tectonics, and seismic hazard in Low-Strain Regions paleoseismicity.org/call-for-pap... Editors: @tamarahking.bsky.social @activefaults.bsky.social Beau Whitney, & Sambit Naik

The long-term tectonic motion that GPS sensors measure is usually extremely slow, but earthquakes can cause sudden shifts of the land. GPS data help reveal the peak ground displacement caused by the ongoing earthquake to more quickly and accurately estimate its magnitude.

Let's take a look at some field photos showing the normal fault ruptures (Taken by field survey team of the Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration).

very late to this news, but awesome to see Sentinel 1C is launched and operating! More info on why this is a big deal in the video below from @uk-comet.bsky.social now if only NASA would launch their NISAR mission....

UK COMET@uk-comet.bsky.social · 2y ago

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.

Keeping it (seismically) real in New Zealand. ⚒️🧪

Really exciting to see such so many familiar #ScienceTwitter faces appearing here! 🎉 Reintroduction time: I'm a coastal Earth Observation scientist from Canberra, Australia - my work involves mapping coastal change from space using petabytes of open satellite data! 🛰️🌊🧑‍🔬

Who likes earthquakes? 👋 Well, have I got a treat for you! @ucalgary.bsky.social Department of Earth, Energy, and Environment is hosting @drwendyrocks.bsky.social next Thurs Nov 21 for an EarthX talk. Register science.ucalgary.ca/earth/about/... It's free and will be broadcast to the world. 🧪⚒️

A 40 year old seismograph may have been abandoned in the field 25 years ago, so I went searching for it to add to our historical collection.

Jay @earthjay.bsky.social is an exceptional scientist and one of the nicest people I know, who provides incredible global earthquake reports as a community service. Certainly one to follow!

BlueSky is rapidly growing as has my followers list! welcome all! my background: marine geology, plate tectonics, and paleoseismology onshore & offshore i prepare earthquake reports as part of my education and outreach program at earthjay.com if you have heard of Earth Day, i am earthjay

Golly gosh, at 900+ followers I'll introduce myself! I'm Dr Tamarah King, an Australian earthquake geologist at Geoscience Australia (prev. UniMelb & Oxford Uni). My research spans active faults, earthquakes, paleoseismology & tectonic geomorphology in Australia & similar tectonic locations

I'd like to get serious about Bluesky but I'm finding it hard to transition back to chronological timelines after the ease of a tailored 'for you' page. Any suggestions? (can also only access Bluesky at home, seems to be blocked on my work network👎😤)

so many new followers and people on Bluesky! For any geosci / earthquake people, I recommend using @geohenning.bsky.social's post on geosci specialist lists to find out who's following you & who to follow: bsky.app/profile/geoh...

A pleasure to be interviewed for @seismosocam.bsky.social's 'At Work' column! Honoured to be included amongst the other brilliant scientists featured, repping my undying love for Australia's weird and wonderful earthquakes ❤️

@tamarahking.bsky.social Tamarah King, is there a question you hear often about Australian seismicity? King, a seismic hazard scientist Geoscience Australia, answers our questions in this month's SSA At Work! buff.ly/4c7cMWh ⚒️

This is the first in a planned series of short videos touching on a few notable earthquake-related facts about each state, starting with New South Wales and the A.C.T. youtu.be/pM2he30lx14?...

Such a great video series by @seislologist.bsky.social! Have a watch to learn something new about Aus EQs, including cute clips from my PhD on the remote Petermann earthquake p.s. as a Katherinite and Territorian, I'm particularly proud of the NT's legacy of interesting earthquakes

the @earthquake.bsky.social bot put out four notices for what appears to be one earthquake (earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... ), presumably it's picking up every USGS review of the event?

Today’s M5.9 shallow reverse faulting earthquake in China occurred in a seismically active region, with significant population centers nearby. There are early reports of casualties and significant damage. 🧪⚒️

BNO News@bnonews.com · 3y ago

BREAKING: At least 8 people killed, others trapped and injured in central China quake - CCTV

The M3.2 earthquake near Berridale (15km E of Jindabyne) NSW earlier this week has been followed by at least 6 additional events to date. This area has previously hosted several seismic clusters of <M2.5 as well as more significant events, eg. 1885 M4.6 and 1959 M5.3 earthquakes ⚒️🧪

The palm-lined trace of the San Andreas Fault near Indio, CA. In the distance is Pushawalla Canyon. North America is to the left; Pacific Plate to the right. Fault gouge produced due to the grinding action of the fault acts as a vertical barrier to groundwater flow; that's why the palms grow here.

Time for a comic for #ArtAdventCalendar! This one is from the start of 2023, from a random idea I had that made me laugh (typically how all my comics begin) One for the #geology, #geoscience and #SciArt comic fans
