Have you ever felt a quake & thought that felt MUCH bigger than the magnitude reported? Our new research explains why. Big magnitude quakes produce big shaking. Small quakes shake a little. But every so often, a small magnitude quake will cause surprisingly strong shaking. 🤔

This #AGU20 Union session focuses on science in collaboration with decision makers, communities, and other stakeholders to benefit society. Join at 10:30 AM PT on Friday, December 11 to participate. agu.confex.com/agu/fm20/meeti…

Thank you, Prof Claire J. Horwell 😷 ! It was a great session, happy to be a part of it

Looking to be a woman or POC in a male-dominated STEM field? Channeling white-hot anger in constructive directions like coding, scripting & writing might be the single most important super-power to develop.

#12: "b-value" (19 February - 21 March). Simultaneously mature and immature, thinks everything is a sign, romantic

Happy #PrideMonth everyone!

Thank you AGU (American Geophysical Union) for this award! 😊

Congratulations to former IPR graduate research assistant Leah Salditch for receiving the Natural Hazards Section Award for Graduate Research from AGU (American Geophysical Union). Of the 78 award recipients AGU recognized, Leah Salditch was one of five students & postdocs selected. ipr.northwestern.edu/news/2021/sald…

Join us in a few hours for the HEWG November Town Hall to discuss what we’ve been up to and what we should we working on next. All are welcome! #Hazards #Equity AGU (American Geophysical Union) Starts at 18:30UTC (10:30am Pacific) ubc.zoom.us/j/62059345218?…

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Shout out to all the amazing women of USGS Earthquakes for the work they do and for inspiring future generations of female scientists!

Seismologists are closer to forecasting earthquakes that don’t follow a regular time pattern. Read about their new model, developed by @NU_EARTHSCI scientists including James Neely and Leah Salditch. eos.org/articles/accou…

New Methodology for Unbiased Ground‐Motion Intensity Conversion Equations #BSSA Scientists from @NU_EARTHSCI and UC Berkeley present two different methods for avoiding bias while converting between amplitude and shaking intensity. doi.org/10.1785/012022…

This is pretty neat

Gallahue et al. examine minimum magnitude inconsistencies between PSHA maps and seismic intensity data, which contribute to discrepancies between predicted and observed shaking. Read more: doi.org/10.26443/seism…
