Our own @BaerbelW traveled to Vienna for this year's #EGU25 General Assembly of the @EuroGeosciences
Baerbel herself did a couple of presentations in Vienna:
* Examples of Skeptical Science successfully collaborating with other organizations so as to better reach shared goals, get more gain for less effort. With so much reward, we're eager to do more.
* How Skeptical Science translates our content into 29 different languages, the challenges of maintaining a polyglot presence. You may be able to help!
Baerbel also kept a daily journal. It's loaded with links to scads of intriguing information presented at the assembly by many researchers, with teasers and organized for easy access.
Post facto virtual attendance , distilled and at our fingertips. :-)

First, this phenomenon (microseismic blip every 26 seconds originating off the coast of West Africa) is super interesting. Second, the article is nicely written.
Third, which scientists, exactly, were "stunned?" Was it the one who discovered this in the 1960s? The ones who knew about it and published in the 1980s? The ones who published about it again in 2006? So many stunned scientists.
Remembering that reporters almost never write headlines. This reporter needs a different editor.

“The #eruption fissure that opened shortly before 10am is now 700 m long and has not grown for about an hour.
The 2nd fissure, which opened just inside the barriers shortly before 11am, is considerably smaller but appears to be trying to extend S towards #Grindavík.“

For more insight into the tectonic background of today’s M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar I’d recommend this blog post and the original article on extrusion tectonics. There is also a video hiding somewhere on YouTube that illustrates this experiment perfectly.

A comparison of the Sagaing fault map that shows historic earthquake rupture lengths with the USGS slip model of today’s M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar suggests today’s event may have ruptured the northern half of the 1839 earthquake fault patch.

A historical seismicity map shows several #earthquakes of similar size to today’s M7.7 in Myanmar occurred in the region in the early 20th century, but this section of the Sagaing fault probably hasn’t ruptured since 1839

“The GEOROC Database (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) is a comprehensive collection of published analyses of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals. It contains major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and nonradiogenic isotope ratios as well as analytical ages for whole rocks, glasses, minerals and inclusions. Metadata include geospatial and other sample information, analytical details and references….
Current content of GEOROC:
• 22,750 papers
• 685,660 samples
• 2,680,100 analyses
• 39,334,100 single data values…”
