The M6.9 #earthquake in #Morocco occurred in a region with mapped #faults, but with relatively low historical #seismicity. Current reports indicate at least 600 people have been killed in this event and the city of Marrakesh has been badly damaged.

This looks like a step forward in the science of earthquake forecasting.

A team from Sandia National Laboratories have studied the release of noble gases caused by induced underground explosions. Their detection could be one day use to monitor earthquakes or explosions.

This is very interesting. It seems that rougher fault surfaces cause more earthquake aftershocks

A paper published on the #BeeswaxShipwreck of 1693 and the preservation of distributed Timbers in a nearby cove/caves (The Goonies Cave) by the rockfalls associated with the Cascadia Subduction Zone #CSZ #earthquake of 1700.

A fascinating deep dive in the interstices between #geology, #seismicity, global #transportation, nearshore processes, transport of flotsam and #history.

#Seismicity #map of the region of today’s #Ferndale #earthquakes (with red outlines) and the events exactly one year ago (with purple outlines) in the same region. Based on the location of the #aftershocks, it looks like the mainshock was on a left lateral strike slip #fault, a bit shallower than last year’s #quakes.

hello there! I am Leila, I do #earthquake #statistics (mostly #seismicity #forecasting) at ETH in Zurich.

besides earthquakes, I am interested in #mathematics, #logic, #pythonprogramming, #EquityandEquality, #openscience, #climbing, being #outdoors and am always excited to learn something new! will use this account mostly to talk about work-related interests.

#introduction
Greetings!

I'm Jaime, a #seismologist interested in rapid earthquake source determinations, radiated seismic energy, #Tsunami #earthquakes, induced #seismicity, and overall seismicity in slowly deforming regions.

Also, I am an #openscience and #openaccess advocate through Seismica ( seismica.org ) a diamond open access journal for #seismology and #earthquake science.

I promote science in #English, #Portuguese and #Spanish.

Well I suppose it's time to re-introduce myself.

I'm a relatively late in career returnee to geology; my science is highly operationalised, i'm a #geohazard analyst shift leader at the #NGMC - National Geohazards Monitoring Centre - part of the #Geonet program here at #GNS Science in #Aotearoa #NZ.

Yes, it's shift work; we're right at the sharp pointy end of geohazard response, in a 24/7 operation. Varied interests, most recently working on #Taupo #seismicity analysis, and a W-phase project.
