@jellycrystals Some leftover bread dough, filled with mashed potato and cheese, then pan-fried. Ridiculously simple and delicious.

🎉 Here's my 2022 recap of what I get up to on weekends when I'm not doing seismology
👨‍🍳 The Espresso Chocolate Cheesecake was a surprise winner

News clips of earthquake damage 

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the tragic earthquake. Here’s a recent video I made summarising how this changed and in .

In the process of making this parting gift for one of our long-serving software engineers, I discovered that a different (a magnitude 2.4) on her birthday doesn’t appear to be on any . It looks to have been imported from a 3rd party catalog…

It looks like we’re getting for - just in time for the holidays. But it’s , so it won’t last…

Are you going to SSA 2023 in Puerto Rico? If so, please come and see me to grab a free Namazu t-shirt while they last!

Some of our Australian aftershock sequences can go on for years, and it looks like the earthquakes that are following last year's Mw5.9 will be doing just that. Today's magnitude 3.3 is the largest aftershock since the day of the main shock, when a 4.2 and 3.3 occurred within the first hour.

@hasmis data from the nearest station clipped when it hit maximum range of the sensor, so in excess of 29mm/s.

Here's the magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Midland Texas last Friday as seen on seismographs in the area. A red trace in our web-based data viewer means >0.2mm/s peak amplitude, something we don't see on multiple stations very often, let alone on almost all of them! That said, there are a lot of stations very close to the epicentre due to saltwater injection monitoring requirements.

My colleague, Juan Santiago Velasquez - a seismologist from - just told me about nests - something I’d not heard of before. Here’s my quick summary featuring the reacting to our magnitude 5.9 earthquake last year!

A nice 6 minute feature on Mars geophysics: Quakes, Plumes, Tsunamis and Lava Lamps. I ❤️ @SciShow youtu.be/8Q0YhzfzuJA

Seismica is expanding!!

We are seeking new Board Members who share our key values and are committed to working toward a globally representative, researcher-run #DiamondOpenAccess journal for #seismology and #earthquake science.

We are looking for new board members to be part of out Handling Editors, Standards & Copy Editing and the Media and branding teams.

Want to join the Seismica movement?

@ReDevelopInc thanks for the feedback. I’ll try to remember to post a version without background music here in future

Earthquake tourism: there's a lookout on the Great Ocean Road with a great view of a reverse fault in a cliff face. Can you see it? From the same platform you can also see some limestone stacks that people seem to be interested in: The Twelve Apostles!

If you're into seismology and love programming, we have a vacancy opening up for a software engineer to work on our earthquake data analysis and management systems. Posting here because remote working is now a thing and we're good with that! The role primarily involves developing cross-platform desktop software in Java, but also includes web programming, database management, and iOS app maintenance and more. Message me if you or anyone you know might be interested.

How should we describe particular earthquakes? Large, small, powerful? There are guidelines, and we can use other words, but the classification should be appropriate for the size and impact of the to be effective

@admitsWrongIfProven I hope a computer scientist is a scientist - that’s what I studied many moons ago…
I may be overthinking it, but I’m just trying to get a handle on who is here to make sure I communicate appropriately for those reading.
