Evaluating the Aftershock Duration of Induced Earthquakes #BSSA Stashing carbon in the subsurface, known as carbon sequestration, requires tools to assess induced earthquakes. This new paper explores this problem using data from Oklahoma. buff.ly/40JyJWF

One of the best Geminid years from southern Ontario in more than a decade. Observed rates exceeded one per minute near midnight last night. Over 100 telescopically tracked Geminids by the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory. Example below. #GeminidsMeteorShower #Westernu

Amali’s got her wings! This rare sight of an elephant taking flight was one of our favourite moments this year! Her name means ‘hope’ in Swahili, & as a dual snare & drought survivor, she certainly is a symbol of hope in a difficult time: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/amali

Planetary magnetic fields help block out radiation. We know of at least one way that planets make magnetism in our solar system, but there may be other mechanisms at work — here, and elsewhere in the universe. quantamagazine.org/exoplanets-cou…

How do you tell the difference between natural versus anthropogenic seismic sources? A new #BSSA paper explores data from the Redmond Salt Mine Monitoring (RSM) Experiment, designed to measure such sources at distances of less than 50 km. buff.ly/48YxXse

Aleksey Navalny was a fearless advocate for his beliefs who died unbroken by the tyranny he opposed. He fought corruption, inspired millions and never wavered in his insistence on free expression, the rule of law, and a Russia that is accountable to the people and not a dictator.

What’s the secret to happy, healthy, well-adjusted young elephants? Play & plenty of it! This tumbling trio is Iman, Kaia & Kofi (filmed in 2022). They’re part of our extended elephant family. While fate left their mothers orphaned, these 3 calves are growing up in the wild

Unconventional energy resources are associated with induced seismicity, and can cause an uptick in seismic hazards. An #SRL paper presents a model of seismicity rate, and considers this model in the context of the Geysers geothermal field in California. buff.ly/3Zkv69k

In our latest paper published in #BSSA (SSA ) we use machine learning to decluster earthquake catalogues: doi.org/10.1785/012025…

In our latest work published in #TSR (SSA ) we introduce a generalization to the nearest neighbor distance method to study mining seismicity along with the Hawkes model to quantity the rate: doi.org/10.1785/032025… Matlab codes here: github.com/rshcherb/GNND_…
