Happy new year from my hometown

Another hard lesson... This 7.3 earthquake in Vanuatu caused partial collapse of the US embassy.  Unclear how many were lost at this point.  A better plan based on knowledge of the building may be to evacuate on first warning if you are on a bottom floor. See: temblor.net/earthquake-i...

Thank you #AGU24 and Washington DC, I spent fruitful time discussing earthquakes, volcanoes, geodesy, and community resilience, and meeting many old and new friends. Wish you happy holidays and new year!

Our work on surface deformation by the Noto Earthquake is finally out! Fukushima Yo led a team to create and ground-truth a full 3D deformation field from InSAR on the entire Peninsula. We show that repetition of similar quakes explains the 1st-order landscape features. 1/5
