hello there! I am Leila, I do #earthquake #statistics (mostly #seismicity #forecasting) at ETH in Zurich.
besides earthquakes, I am interested in #mathematics, #logic, #pythonprogramming, #EquityandEquality, #openscience, #climbing, being #outdoors and am always excited to learn something new! will use this account mostly to talk about work-related interests.
This most recent #Fiji M7.0 earthquake is not as close to the bottom of the local #intraslab seismicity as the previous deep #earthquakes a few days ago.
(note that the focal #mechanisms are projected onto the vertical cross section)
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.
Time for an #introduction!
I'm Gareth, a Professor of #Geophysics at the University of California, Riverside.
I use #InSAR, #GNSS and #seismology to study #earthquakes, crustal deformation and the behavior of faults. I am Chair Elect of the EarthScope Consortium board, and one of the founders of the #DiamondOpenAccess journal Seismica.
Originally British, I moved to California because there are lots of earthquakes here! And now I get to respond to them when they occur! I love my job!
Re-#introduction, this time with added hashtags
Hello (again). I’m Dr Ian Stimpson, Senior Lecturer in #Geophysics at #KeeleUniversity, UK.
Background in #Geology & #Seismology these days mostly involved with #Scicomm via http://tcs.ah-epos.eu (#InducedSeismicity).
Lecture in #NearSurfaceGeophysics #Geoconservation #StructuralGeology & #ReservoirGeophysics plus the odd bit of #Python #GIS and #RemoteSensing. Compiler of #Geotrails recorder of #Earthquakes and #Lidar scanner of pot banks.
If you're here on the Fediverse right now, you're probably experiencing shock.
You're coming to grips with ideas that were previously foreign to you: decentralization, federation, instances, etc.
This is intimidating -- probably even scary.
But while you might feel like a noob (and you are), you're also on the cutting edge of *the* biggest communications revolution in a generation!
@ulixes_lactanis @seislologist This looks to be east of Fiji i.e. closer to Tonga - it locates almost right on the Tonga Trench. And with a shallow reverse rupture this is more likely to be a subduction interface event which is different to yesterday’s (deep with normal rupture mechanism - within the down-going slab).
@seislologist it also appears to be much shallower.
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!
Hello! #introduction 🌋 I'm a #volcanologist at #UEA interested in #volcanoes, reducing disaster risk and sharing knowledge .. I think (!) I've migrated things here from other servers. I love science but also love other ways of making sense of this beautiful 🌍
Greetings tooters!
this account is for Dr. Jason "Jay" R. Patton (aka EarthJay) and I march for science. #hashtag #Introduction #MastodonIntroduction
His main education/outreach effort is voluntarily writing up #EarthquakeReport posts on earthjay.com. These are for #earthquake and #tsunami events of interest, sorted in different ways; sorted by year here: https://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. https://www.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. https://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. https://ceoas.oregonstate.edu/
capital letters are over rated but chocolate and oxford commas are not.
Hi fellow #Mastodonians (or is it #Tooters - I’m not sure what our collective noun is here). I try to do short weekly #earthquake #scicomm videos. This week’s deep #Fiji events were a good excuse to talk about #subduction
Hi folks! In case you weren't already following me on The Bird App, I'm Jessica Ball, a physical #volcanologist who specializes in volcanic stability, volcanic #hazard modeling, assessment, and communication. I work for a US #volcano observatory and #scicomm is actually part of my job! I also dabble in #usability, #Python & #datavis.
In my free time, I mushroom hunt, knit, and occasionally do cosplay that involves knitting.
Chief Scientist at the Seismology Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia #earthquake #seismology
