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:
@seislologist hi friend!!

I’m going to start a thread tagging #earthquake #seismology Mastodon folks across the various servers to make it easier for those of us new to the platform to find each other. Please comment with anyone that you know and we can boost these lists to help newcomers. Here’s who I’ve found so far:

Okay, let's try this...again...
I'm Tim Demko, geologist interested in reconstructing past land/seascapes and environments, the energy transition, critical minerals, responsible mining, public service, mountain biking, gravel cycling, home seismometry, and civil political discussions.

#Introduction time! I'm Chris Rowan. I like thinking and talking about plate tectonics, #earthquakes, Earth history, and #scienceeducation. I also occasionally get ultra-nerdy about the Earth's magnetic field and how it is recorded in rocks.
I've got lots out of the online #geology and #scicomm communities over the years and hope we can build something new and exciting here.
Guess my favourite geological word!
Hi! I'm a #volcanologist in #NewZealand (not part of Australia) working on a few different things, but mostly Ngauruhoe #volcano, or the real Mount Doom from LOTR.
I have been working to get #eruption information out to people over on the bird app and through media when needed, and helping people learn about our volcanically active planet.
Now part of the #Twittermirgration and hopefully ready for the learning curve. #Introduction #Scicomm
Hey, y’all. My name is Chris. I’m a geoscientist, working for the engineering company Jacobs. I’m from Derby, but currently based near Manchester, on the side of the Peak District, which allows me to do two things I really like; running and cycling. When not messing fiddling with the Earth, I’m usually found discussing social justice issues with a pint. I’m the woke Black man that your granny warned you about…
📣 For fellow Mastodon rookies - I understand that ‘favouriting’ things doesn’t amplify them to your followers in the way that ‘liking’ would have on Twitter
So if you want to share something, you need to ‘boost’ it
Trying to get my head round a different threshold for sharing things on here!
#introduction hash storm: I’m a #seismologist based in #melbourne #australia working for 30+ years at an #earthquake observatory that was established in #academia and is now privately owned. My interests are in data, #uxdesign and #uidesign of seismic hardware & analysis #software, and developing my #scicomm skills to make #science accessible to students & early career folks.
My wife & I have an adult son 🧩 with #autism and twin daughters 🧩🏳️🌈. I enjoy #baking #automotive #industrial #design #tech
Hey there everyone! 👋
Please have a look at my website because it will probably answer a lot of your questions about how to use Mastodon and the Fediverse:
If you're recommending me as a follow to others, it would be great if you could mention the site too so that new people get help straight away.
I am getting repeating questions that are already answered on the website, so it would help a LOT if you could tell new people about the site as well as my account! 😅
Chief Scientist at the Seismology Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia #earthquake #seismology
