A new paper in Science claims to have detected precursor behavior for large earthquakes. WOAH - could earthquake prediction be on the horizon? Kyle Bradley and I revisit the analysis - and we think the conclusions of the paper don't hold up. 🧵 1/ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨First paper is out! We combine petrology, physical and climate modeling, ice cores, and paleoclimate evidence to estimate the stratospheric S load of the Okmok 43 BCE eruption— we find ~15 Tg S were emitted into the stratosphere, 1/3 of the total S load:doi.org/10.1029/2023GL…

I was very saddened to hear that of the 75 hikers on Marapi during the eruption yesterday, 11 have been confirmed deceased. My thoughts are with their families, the survivors who have been rescued, and with the 12 missing and their families. 💔 bbc.com/news/world-asi…

I don’t believe academic peer review in its current form is useful. As an editor, I saw it all. Most of the time, reviewers spend their time trying to find a reason to reject a paper. Often reasons for rejection or acceptance came from bias. Many editors don’t know enough to even
