📢New Paper on Tethyan Tectonics⚠️
How does the style of strain release from earthquakes compare to the style of strain accumulation captured by geodetic measurements? To what extent do large-scale mantle deformation patterns correlate with surface strain rates?

⚒️ 🧪 Japan just issued a “Subsequent Earthquake Advisory” following a M7.6 earthquake offshore Honshu. What does that mean?
Also: what happened in the earthquake, and why did it trigger a tsunami evacuation, with alerts of waves “up to 3 meters high”?

M7.6 earthquake strikes offshore Honshu, Japan
Japan issues "Subsequent Earthquake Advisory" due to elevated (but still low) risk of triggered megaquake

the scariest thing I've seen this halloween
NOAA’s National Weather Service holds the federal responsibility for tsunami warnings, and has historically been a primary supporter of seismic data collection in Alaska
NOAA cancels longstanding funding for seismic data collection crucial to tsunami warning systems
The Alaska Earthquake Center has long provided NOAA with seismic data for tsunami monitoring and warning purposes. That work will wind down in November, after the federal agency said it can no longer fund the contract.

The quake is devastating enough--the lack of support due to the deliberate destruction of the US global humanitarian infrastructure is salt in the wound.
Trump says the US will help in Asia quake. A former official says the system is now in ‘shambles’
“Mass firings and forced leaves and thousands of abrupt contract terminations have thrown much of the global aid and development work into crisis.”

There are about 27,000 scientists at #AGU24, and about half of them work on climate one way or another. Whenever I walk into a room like this, I always take a moment to take it all in—all these people dedicated their lives to working on some of our toughest problems. That gives me strength.
