Many oceanic islands far from active plate tectonic boundaries contain materials clearly originating from continents, even though they are located in the middle of an oceanic plate. Where do the continental remnants come from? @sasbrune.bsky.social, and lead author Thomas Gernon from 1/5

Just published my first paper from my PhD project! 🔬

Here, we show that nanoplastics—those tiny, pervasive pollutants—can alter the microbiome of Daphnia, a keystone freshwater organism.

D👇| Turning Smartphones into Earthquake Sensors: Thousands of mobile phone accelerometres provide data that enable a new step for high resolution shake-maps and safer cities. This is shown by Fabrice Cotton et al in a new study based on a Citizen Science initiative in Campi Flegrei.

Detail of a map of the Phlegraean Fields near Naples in Italy: red dots mark smartphone sensors, yellow triangles mark fixed seismological stations. Location of 29 seismological stations and 8,151 citizens' smartphones participating in the Earthquake Network (EQN) citizen science initiative on 8 June 2024 in the red zone of Campi Flegrei. The EQN smartphone network is of high density and covers areas of the red zone where no stations are installed. This allows the variability of the ground shaking to be captured at a higher spatial resolution over the entire red zone. Map: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, Finazzi et al.

How often and how severe will future #droughts be? And how well can climate models simulate them?

🌊 Jan–Feb 2025, earthquake swarms shook Santorini. A study by @gfz.bsky.social & @geomarkiel.bsky.social explains why. 🌋 Magma from a reservoir beneath Kolumbo intruded as a ~13 km dike, triggering the quakes. Data reveal a link between Santorini and Kolumbo systems.
