Watch how seismometers recorded the passing earthquake waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula.

Each dot in this animation is a seismic station—red 🔴 means the ground moved up, blue 🔵 means it moved down.

Around 11:30 am local time, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck the offshore Kamchatka region at a depth of about 20 kilometers. The subduction zone quake caused severe shaking on the Kamchatka peninsula and triggered tsunami warnings and advisories around the Pacific. (1/n)

Temblor map of the M 8.8 Kamchatka Peninsula earthquake. The peninsula and other land is color coded according to shaking expected in your lifetime, per Temblor's PUSH model. The mainshock is marked by a bright blue star. Smaller quakes are marked by circles that scale with magnitude and are color coded by age in days. Credit: Temblor

Dopo l'eruzione di ieri #etna, dal Cratere SE, molti si sono chiesti quali le possibili misure di allerta esistenti per questo vulcano. L'eruzione, in effetti, era stata annunciata dal sistema di allerta precoce (early warning) dell’INGV-OE.

First paroxysmal eruptive episode at #Etna's Southeast Crater since 18 months, on the morning of 2 June 2025. Collapse of the northeast flank of the crater generated a spectacular (but harmless) pyroclastic flow down the upper side of the mountain. (1/2)

On Italy’s Republic Day, Etna isn’t holding back 🌋🇮🇹 Activity started with mild Strombolian explosions that quickly intensified. A small lava flow made its way down the Valle del Bove. A particularly remarkable event just occurred: part of the Southeast Crater collapsed, triggering a PDC

#Etna is speaking loudly today
Its activity intensified, producing an impressive plume, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and, later, sustained lava fountains.
This episode comes just as two recent scientific studies offer fresh perspectives on Etna’s internal structure and dynamics.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
