🚨 SAVE THE DATE 🚨 We're putting together a Planetary Science Community Meeting at the Kentucky Science Center in Louisville, KY on April 14–16 2026. This is a grass-roots meeting for planetary scientists to gather, discuss, and organize to address pressing issues our community faces. (1/2)

@thwbecker.bsky.social and Claudio Faccenna's Tectonic Geodynamics is a comprehensive, integrative approach to tectonics and geodynamics for students and researchers. Out now (6 Jan UK pub)! Explore a free preview: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... #EarthScience #Science #Geodynamics

From the #Med to #Tibet, #geodetic strainrates sometimes match, and sometimes don't, what #earthquakes tell us. #open #science reanalysis of GNSS data by Castro Perdomo et al. in @agu.org's JGR-SE. Figures are so pretty, as if I made them myself. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/DX5BNA...

Geophysics is serious business.

Intermediate depth earthquakes can cause destructive shaking in Chile, and may mixed mode rupture. Study led by Jia on the 2024 Calama 7.4 with a number of our Chilean friends, including our field team Bertrand Potin, Sergio Ruiz, Juan Baez, and Marcos Moreno. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Not saying but at least it looks nice.

Thanks Princeton University Press, students and colleagues for helping us make this textbook happen. Available widely in November. #tectonics #geodynamics #earthquakes press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Most excellent workshop with our NNW colleagues and part of the MTMOD crew. Onward in figuring out physics based seismic hazard models. Thanks to Jamie Howarth and his crew.

Awesome start to the NNW-MTMOD meeting on fault dynamics and seismic hazard in St Arnaud. Also Captin Underpants on white board (why?)

These stunning animations from the USGS and NOAA show modeling of the earthquake waves and tsunami waves generated by the M8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia. 🧪
