Greetings tooters!

this account is for Dr. Jason "Jay" R. Patton (aka EarthJay) and I march for science.

His main education/outreach effort is voluntarily writing up posts on earthjay.com. These are for and events of interest, sorted in different ways; sorted by year here: earthjay.com/?page_id=3220

they are an engineering geologist (PG license 9758) who serves the public while at the California Geological Survey, Seismic Hazards and Tsunami programs. conservation.ca.gov/cgs/

he has been studying the tectonics of the Cascadia subduction zone (a convergent plate boundary fault system) for over 25 years (MS thesis at cal poly humboldt, dept geology). he is an adjunct professor at this dept. geology.humboldt.edu/

they studied marine sedimentary records (submarine landslide deposits called turbidites) of earthquakes offshore of Sumatra/Cascadia for my marine geology & geophysics PhD at oregon state university. ceoas.oregonstate.edu/

We are #obspy, resistance is fudel.

We make code that other people use to make code to make everybody understand this piece of rock better that we all sit on.

observations are that person that operates the seismometer their own

Hi, a first post to introduce myself. I'm Paul Denton from the UK, I'm interested in sailing and seismology, I prefer dogs to cats.

I have spent most of my life working in Seismology, and seem to have specialised in educational seismology. I spent some time setting up and running the UK school seismology project and still have an interest in trying to create the world's cheapest functional seismic sensor using Lego.

Currently working at DentonSeismo co.uk

About a month ago, NASA's Juno probe buzzed the Jovian moon Europa, and we got this cool picture, taken from a distance of about 400 km away.

With just this picture, we can see Europa is an active world, using one of the oldest rules in the geological book. Read on to find out how!

Southeast NSW is a relatively active region, but not many have occurred in the immediate area of yesterday's magnitude 4.0 east of Frogmore. Only 250 events are logged within 20km of this epicentre in the last 60 years, and this is the largest on record.

Hi mastodon! To introduce myself: Here are earthquakes from 2010 to 2021-11-28 under the 2021 that I precisely re-located: red/green events are just before/after eruption. Events since the eruption (yellow-white) remain mostly clustered around 10km and 35km depth. Orange pyramid shows surface eruption vents.
