- Arrived in Christchurch, and in summer, for the IAG conference. Good vibes all around.

- Reposted by Luca MalatestaA new preprint, led by Bar Oryan, introduces the Coupling Cloud: a community database that curates, standardizes, documents, and disseminates published kinematic coupling models inverted from geodetic data. As of today it brings together 96 coupling datasets drawn from 55 publications spanning
- Frederik Tilmann has published an interesting post about the development of `latexdiff` since 2004 as version 1.4.0 is just released. Besides `latexdiff` Frederik also busies himself with being a professor of seismology. www.linkedin.com/pulse/some-r...
- These cumulative energy release plots are always great visuals

- Ho ho ho, Daisuke Ishimura @daisukeishimura.bsky.social has joined bluesky! 🎄 (pssst @earthjay.bsky.social )
- Realizing now that by traveling southwest from Berlin to Switzerland, I bought myself an extra 55 minutes of daylight on solstice day!
- We'd have loved to share this at #AGU25 With marine terraces (4767 platforms 🖱️💪Nina!) spanning the last Myr we show that the faults of the Noto Peninsula EQ started slipping around 300 ka. A landscape evol. model explains the transient topography of the peninsula. 1/3 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

- Fortunately, the M7.6 earthquake struck at low tide, reducing the impact of the tsunami (itself smaller than feared, max 70cm observed). 1/2
- Shaking was strong, up to shindo 6+. I imagine that liquefaction is a bigger concern. We will know more in the morning. NHK reports 6 injured in Aomori prefecture (falling objects and falls). 2/2

- North of the Bering Strait earlier today. First Northern Lights for me!
- On Noto Peninsula where coseismic uplift was ~2m. Sequence pre-earthquake, EQ +3 months, EQ +23 months. I thought we would be able to monitor this nice flat surface for weathering efficiency over the years…
- Noto Earthquake and submarine landscape. After a loooong time looking for reviewers, we received good critical comments which led to notable revisions. Now back in review at GRL hoping that the 2nd round will be shorter than the 6 months of the first: doi.org/10.31223/X53...
- Reposted by Luca Malatesta@sumikotsuka.bsky.social and I are looking for a postdoc (2 yrs) to work w/ us at @uni-jena.de and LIAG Hannover on constraining exhumation rates in #Albania using calcite/dolomite thermoluminescence thermochronology. www.structures.uni-jena.de/en/1012/open.... @paleoseismicity.bsky.social @dfg.de
- We'll try a 360º camera to document field sites google-streetview-style and to plunge it under our kayak looking for faults. In the meantime, enjoy this gimmicky autumnal snapshot @gfz.bsky.social .

[Not loaded yet] - Researchers at Toyama and Kanazawa Universities deployed a ROV to document the earthquake scarp offshore of the Noto Peninsula, here is their video summary. Very cool images of underwater splay faults! youtu.be/QaIw5PgXZkc?...
- Reposted by Luca MalatestaFull resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
- It first seemed like Europe claimed to define itself in contrast to US funding cuts. But the drop in concurrence was just an opportunity to lower costs as well.

- We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study submarine faults "just offshore". The postdoc will participate in all steps of the research from the development of an autonomous kayak w/ sonar to the analysis of bathymetric data for active tectonics. 📆 22 June! www.gfz.de/en/career/jo...

- In Lötschental: the Kleines Nesthorn remains unstable, rocks pile up on what remains of the Birchgletscher-> risk of further rock-ice avalanches. The Lonza flows across the entire deposit, dammed lake is monitored and stable. Deposit too weak for machinery. (source: Pomona and SRF, 📷 A. Amherd) 1/4
- We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to lead missions surveying nearshore active faults with an autonomous kayak!
