@jascha @janinekrippner @seismogenic @COweatherman a lot of us jumping over seem to be scientists and content creators. I worry that the slight barrier to entry might discourage the #scicomm audience, and they’ll be left behind in a nest of potential misinformation. I’ll still keep posting over there, at least on the corporate accounts. The main reason I’m here is to keep in touch with global #seismology friends, and make new ones 🥰
I (and a host of other science and non-science folks) am going to be in the new Cosmic Shambles Network documentary, “Rapid Motion Through Space: An Incomplete History of Speed”, which is released next year. Check out the trailer here! 🤓 https://youtu.be/6HPhhbDjZyQ
I believe Mastodon video uploads are limited to 40MB, so let's see how that looks. Here's one of my early #scicomm videos trying to explain how we can have a negative #magnitude #earthquake
Belated #Introduction:
Hi I'm Lee aka Constababble!
I'm a science/climate/research communicator and edu-tainer (tbh hard to find a way to describe the mixed bag of what I do). Forever a farm kid in the city.
Background in #Climate #SocialScience #scicomm #science #environment #sustainability #stem #equity
I used to work in TV but now I do more social media stuff, MCing, reels, tiktok, twitch streaming etc. I like making factual content for screens and socials of all types. Aim to make people laugh while they learn.
📍Based on Gadigal Country (aka Sydney, Australia)
Cool stuff about me:
❄️ Antarctica for 3 weeks in 2018 (visited a bunch of research stations while there)
🎬 Hosted an Australian kids science TV show called Scope (2016-2020)
📚 Wrote a kids book called 'How to Save the Whole Stinkin' Planet'. Writing another one now!
🔥 Spent a year doing fire shows in remote and regional communities as a Science Circus performer
Uncool stuff about me:
😱 I reckon I'm developing bunions like my nan had. I also tend to overshare.
Oh. This works great. Here's where my twitter friends went.

If you're hesitant about trying out Mastodon, there's a handy app called debirdify that will help you find the Mastodon accounts of those you follow on Twitter. It lowers the effort of getting started and populating your feed. The app is pretty smooth. https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/

I'm a #volcanologist from the Philippines working mostly with #Taal and #Mayon volcanoes. I work mostly on #electromagnetics applications and methods, but also used to work with #seismic methods (#tomography). Nowadays though #DRRM (disaster risk reduction and management) occupies most of my time. I also do seismic hazards from time to time but volcanic eruptions are more exciting and spectacular.
Picture below was back 2014 when I was finishing up my PhD, inside Taal Volcano Main Crater.
Excited to be here! I am a #seismologist at Caltech and mainly discuss #earthquakes , with a particular emphasis on California
Hello Mastodon, or is it Tootland? I'm so confused...I will just blunder on, confused as usual!
I'm Heidi Stenner, a #hazards geologist and Project Manager with #GeoHazards International (#GHI) a non-profit focused on working with lower-resourced global communities who are at high risk of natural hazards and climate change impacts.
I have been an #earthquake #geologist and #paleoseismologist with USGS. Migrated into #scicomm #disasterprep. I'm most interested in #EQ #landslide #volcano #compound #concurrent #cascading #disasters and how to #mitigate #adapt #plan to reduce their impacts.
A bit more about me by way of #introduction. I'm an Earth Scientist who specialises in #volcanology, #scicomm, #pedagogy and #EDI.
I'm a field #volcanologist by training, and my #research focuses on catastrophic flows like pyroclastic density currents and lahars. I'm interested in quantifying the link between process (current) and product (deposit) to ultimately improve our field interpretations of the volcanic rock record. I hope this will lead to better understanding of these hazardous flows
#introduction I’m a #volcanologist and #geoscience communicator. I research how #volcanoes work and their impact on people and the environment. Dedicated to raising awareness of the critical role geoscience plays in #sustainable development and for society through media engagement and as Co-Founder and Director of the Earth Futures Festival. I advocate for #equity, #diversity and #inclusion in geosciences and co-founded #WOMEESA
Well, introduction time. If I understand correctly, it is important also to drop a bunch of hashtags/keywords to help the search on this platform.
I'm a #seismologist aka a #researcher in #seismology aka I am interested in #earthquake phenomena and related arguments like #tsunami, seismic #hazard, monitoring and plenty of technical stuff.
I am living in #Italy and working at #INGV. I try to keep my toots job related. But my opinions herein are my own.
Hello #introduction . I am a geophysicist that works on earthquakes, mountain formation, landslides. I mostly use radar imagery and other remote sensing methods.
Hello! As an #introduction to me, I am a #geologist who studies #topography and how it reflects active #tectonics with a special focus on bedrock #rivers.
I am passionate about #openaccess publishing and #opensource software development for geoscientists. I'm looking to connect with other twitter refugees and new folks as well!
So I guess it's time for a re-#introduction!
Hello! 👋
My name's Ita and I'm from #Tenerife, in #Spain. I currently live in the #UK, where I recently finished my #PhD in #seismology and #geophysics and am now working in environmental and #earth #DataScience.
I really like #photography, #astronomy and #SciComm, and I occasionally write (very) long threads about #science stuff.
Southeast NSW #Australia is a relatively active region, but not many #earthquakes 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.
Hello everyone! Let me reintroduce myself now that I realize the importance of hashtags here… I am Jascha Polet, #seismologist and #professor of #geophysics at Cal Poly Pomona in #California (hence the CPPGeophysics name on that other app). My focus here will be on #earthquakes, #volcanoes, geophysics, #geoscience, #science #education, indoor and outdoor animals, photography and whatever else might come to my mind. #introduction #reintroduction
KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
Hi Mastodon, I’m new here!
I'm an #earthquake scientist (#geology #geomorphology #seismology) who has studied at plate boundaries (New Zealand) and stable continental regions (Australia). I now work on seismic hazard. I’m here to share info. about earthquakes and to learn from other earth and earthquake scientists. At the moment I’m a bit obsessed with seismic swarms! I might occasionally toot about other things… like music 🎶
I don't know exactly how I'll be using Mastodon just yet, but here's an intro: Hi, I'm Celeste! I'm an environmental seismologist, mostly specializing in seismic signals generated by glacier processes. I'm currently a postdoctoral fellow at UCalgary, which I started after finishing my PhD at Caltech in June. I sometimes take cool pictures in the field as Queen Elsa for fun and for outreach, like this one near my current field site in British Columbia:
@geoginger hi Em! Welcome to the whirlwind of learning a new thing.
Chief Scientist at the Seismology Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia #earthquake #seismology
Also find me @seislologist on TikTok & Instagram
