Hello world! I am a #seismology Postdoc at #BrownUniversity and soon-to-be Assistant Prof at #SyracuseUniversity. I'm interested in how continents break apart to form new oceans and how today's ocean basins continue to evolve.
I use ground vibrations to image Earth's #crust and upper #mantle. Specifically, I measure anisotropy and attenuation of seismic waves to understand deformation and roles of melt/volatiles in Earth's interior.

As fun as it is to watch the world burn and YOLO about what happened to #twitter, here's a pretty important perspective from MIT Tech Review:
Twitter’s potential collapse could wipe out vast records of recent human history
#EarthquakeReport #TsunamiReport for M 7.3 #Earthquake Tonga trench
I missed this since the gage is on the nodal plane for the earthquake. BUT there was a #Tsunami recorded on the Pago Pago #AmericanSamoa tide gage.
Here is a screenshot

This is an ancient beach but it’s no longer at sea level!
The red arrows show the shore platform cut by wave action into mudstone (grey); its overlain by beach sands (orange-brown) and loess (grey-brown). I studied these shore platforms, at the southern Hikurangi subduction margin in NZ, to work out how old they are; this one is ~100k yrs old but others nearby are ~125k yrs old and ~220 m in elevation! That’s an uplift rate of 1.7 mm/yr! What did this? Earthquakes! Lots and lots of #earthquakes!
still learning about how to run a toot thread... i wish the pasting of toots included the graphical preview from the original toot... but the ability to run a thread is more important than the thread behaving like they do on other platforms.

New data about the growth of the #fediverse. The number of new accounts is now on average around 100k per day after the peak in November 8th of 135k new users.

Hi everyone! I am an #earthquake #geologist and #earth #scientist currently based in #Oxford, UK. I work on #activefaults, #paleoseismology, and #tectonics problems around the world, but particularly in #CentralAsia and in the western USA. I did my PhD in #Reno #Nevada and my undergraduate in #Humboldt #California.
#EarthquakeReport #EarthquakeToot for M 7.3 #Earthquake near the Tonga trench #toottoot
thrust (compressional) earthquake along the outer rise
no #Tsunami observed on tide gages
report here includes my interpretation and a regional tectonic summary:

I wrote a new tutorial on how to combine iOS lidar with Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry to make accurately scaled #paleoseismic trench logs. 🚨🚨🚨 🧵
The full tutorial is available here:

#EarthquakeReport for M 7.3 #Earthquake along outer rise near the Tonga trench
reverse (compressional) mechanism
south of analogues incl tsunamigenic 2009 M 8.1 (tho that was extensional)
