BlueSky is rapidly growing as has my followers list!

welcome all!

my background: marine geology, plate tectonics, and paleoseismology onshore & offshore

i prepare earthquake reports as part of my education and outreach program at earthjay.com

if you have heard of Earth Day, i am earthjay

Looks like @goldfinger300.bsky.social @earthjay.bsky.social just want to make sure everyone is awake over here, with paleoseismic evidence for Cascadia triggering the northern San Andreas ⚒️🧪

San Andreas, Cascadia faults could combine to produce back-to-back earthquake disasters, new research suggests
San Andreas, Cascadia faults could combine to produce back-to-back earthquake disasters, new research suggests
New research offers the theory that the San Andreas fault and the Cascadia subduction zone could produce devastating back-to-back earthquake disasters.

I think NSF staff took advantage of not being part of HHS and not having a Trump appointee running the agency. Currently, NSF is led by Brian Stone who was the NSF chief of staff and has been at NSF for 25 years.

#PaperReport for Goldfinger et al., 2025

stratigraphy is the key to disentangling prehistoric earthquake records for the Cascadia and San Andreas fault systems

evidence suggests that in the past 3ka, Cascadia precedes San Andreas, often over short time

Vertical rows are the agrivoltaic winner!

“The vertical panels produce slightly less electricity—but with higher value, as generation peaks coincide with morning and late afternoon demand…The crops don't seem to mind the presence of solar panels and they like the wind protection they provide.”
Double harvest: Vertical solar panels and crops thrive side by side
Imagine a field where solar panels and crops coexist—with no trade-off. It sounds like science fiction, but that's precisely what researchers from Aarhus University have now documented in a full-scale...
