Great to see our paper exploring the mechanisms for deep earthquakes in the southern East Africa Rift System published #OpenAccess in @wearetektonika.bsky.social 😀 Probably the last in a long line of papers that have explored this region's tectonics and seismic hazard through the PREPARE project!

Section 👇 from Shnizai & Walker in Tektonika 2024 @wearetektonika.bsky.social shows structure of Jalalabad basin, E #Afghanistan.
It's not right across the recent #earthquake but more to the W. The earthquake may have occurred on a thrust fault equivalent to the one to the left of the section. 1/2 ⚒️

Geological cross section across the Jalalabad basin shows several thrust faults dipping to the north-west

🚨 New paper alert! ⚒️

Are you interested in rift tectonics and the East African Rift?

Check out how lineaments that are highly oblique to the Main Ethiopian Rift can still deform via local strain reorientation. 😃

In many physical sciences, editors are not remunerated (or at least not in a substantial way), and reviewers are already volunteers. Some good examples from the geoscience community incl @weareseismica.bsky.social @wearetektonika.bsky.social @geomorphica.bsky.social although all fairly young still

Imagine what could have been accomplished with $8Bn, if publishing was free.

"...a total of $8.349 billion were spent on APCs between 2019 and 2023. We estimate that in 2023 MDPI ($681.6 million), Elsevier ($582.8 million) and Springer Nature ($546.6) generated the most revenue with APCs."

Researchers paid $9 billion over 5 years for their findings to be freely accessible.

This is based on a study of the global expenditure on article processing charges (APCs) paid to six publishers for open access between 2019 and 2023. arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

BEWARE!

The earthquake predictors have arrived and they’ve preemptively blocked many (maybe all?) of us that fought back against their pseudoscience and harmful messaging on the other site.

If you have a question about earthquakes be sure to talk to an actual expert - many are here!
