“the possibility of a Nankai Trough earthquake has increased relative to normal conditions following a magnitude 7.1 temblor in Miyazaki Prefecture earlier in the day.”

37 hours after earning a bronze medal in the 10,000 meters (and six days after bronze in the 5,000), the Netherlands' Sifan Hassan wins the 2024 Olympic marathon over a field of legends in an Olympic record of 2:22:55. One of the all-time great Olympic distance running feats.

The only photo I managed to take of the Olympic high jump gold medalist on Saturday 😂 #OlympicGames #Olympic2024 #Olympics #Olympic

Bright Aurora Borealis and an even much brighter Perseid meteor over a particularly photogenic tree in the north of the Netherlands, August 12, 2024. #aurora #noorderlicht #Perseids

M4.4 reverse faulting earthquake near south Pasadena, 12 km deep, felt in a wide area earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

Seismicity map of the M4.4 reverse faulting #earthquake in South Pasadena at a depth of 12 km. One potential candidate fault is the Puente Hills Thrust system.

To clarify the location of today’s M4.4 earthquake relative to the Puente Hills Thrust system, here are some figures from Shaw et al. (2002) with an approx quake location marked with orange splotch. If the depth of 11km is correct, this is an OK fit with the Los Angeles segment.

With several recent widely felt earthquakes in California, there is a surge in interest in early warning messages. This article is a good summary and describes what to do to receive these messages (the MyShake app is my favorite) latimes.com/california/sto…

My first pano from last night, of the aurora arc that was visible even as the orange twilight was still hanging on along the low horizon. I reckon the arc was covering around 100 degrees from west to east - far too big to fit into a single shot!

Just wanted to let you all know that there is a new influx, and large returning group, of geoscientists now on Bluesky and I encourage everyone to try it out (again). Keep in mind that there is no algorithm, but there are lists of great people to follow based on interests.

M7.0 earthquake near the coast of Kamchatka, reverse faulting mechanism and location point to subduction thrust event. However, if initial depth of ~50 km is confirmed, the tsunami generating potential should be limited. (Map attached obtained from @lastquake.bsky.social )

Bad news for Rancho Palos Verdes residents: “Officials confirmed a very deep and active landslide plane — previously considered dormant —during exploratory drilling this summer, a discovery that has upended emergency efforts aimed at stabilizing the area.” latimes.com/california/sto…

Research professors from our Bureau of Economic Geology's Clastics Lab adapted an algorithm that's frequently used in voice recognition software to compare geological samples. Their results are raising questions about the earthquake record of Cascadia. jsg.utexas.edu/news/2024/08/a…

M3.5 strike slip faulting earthquake at shallow depth near Ontario (and my old university Cal Poly Pomona) earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

The M3.5 earthquake near Ontario (and my old university Cal Poly Pomona) about an hour ago is a strike slip event, part of the Fontana trend

M4.7 strike slip earthquake near Malibu just now! Just onshore and 13 km deep. 🧪⚒️ earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

Today’s M4.7 earthquake near Malibu was located about 10 km from a M4.6 event in February. However, today’s quake was a strike slip event, whereas the earlier earthquake occurred on a reverse fault.

Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is finally here ! ☄️✨I captured this image this morning at 09:22 UTC from Carnegie Las Campanas Observatory in Atacama desert in Chile 🇨🇱 The view was absolutely spectacular ! The clouds were constantly moving just above the horizon, but we got really lucky when the
