Glad to hear they're still at it!
I see the Archers and Shipping Forecast mentioned, good choices both, and throw in Test Match Special – officially commentary on cricket, but actually days-long rambling conversations about cakes, lunches and the weather; a form of crystallised Englishness that is at least 20 years behind the times.
Until there is a change of administration, I doubt there will be.

You should find someone to accompany you on recorder!
From the SW, I'd guess, given the prevailing wind. You have various clay units that way, in the Weald Basin, some of them are hydrocarbon sources.
The cliffs are chalk. But there is longshore drift!
Molly Zebker at Scripps said you could just simlink or rename the HDF5 files as '.nc' and the files would be readable in QGIS!

Spent the last couple of days having great discussions and conversations with colleagues at Scripps, as well as presenting our group's results on the Kamchatka earthquake! Also ate in some splendid locations! Thanks for the hospitality and interest!
Paid summer internships in #geodesy! This year, the MSU Undergraduate Summer Geodesy Internship program is looking for students with prior experience in geophysics, programming, and/or higher mathematics (geodesy experience not required). More info below. Apply by Feb. 15. ⚒️🧪 bit.ly/4quoUrt
This is vandalism. Senseless vandalism.
FFS!
Come and work with us!
You can say that again!
Want to learn more about NISAR (the new joint India/US synthetic aperture radar satellite mission)? Franz Meyer from UAF/Alaska Satellite Facility will be giving an online talk to introduce NISAR and its capabilities on Jan. 21. More info and registration below. ⚒️🧪

From @AGU.org: Senators are working on legislation to save NCAR, but we need extra support for these 8 states. Your Senators in Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, and Wyoming need to hear from you.
I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons
Time to repurpose #AGU25 as a mass mobilization in support of NCAR, NSF, NOAA, NASA, USGS, DOE BER, and the Congressional power of the purse.
Sally emailed me about it!
Down with this sort of thing!
More like slowly shifting!

Attendees of #AGU25! If you are at a loose end at 3:05, come to room 357 and hear UCR postdoc Axel Periollat present our work on the interseismic locking of the Kamchatka subduction zone (as shown below) and its agreement with slip in the 1952 and 2025 earthquakes! Do come along!
May the printing gods ever be in your favor!
There isn't even a ride at the end of this queue
Well, there wasn't a line at the poster pick-up at least!
(I mean. I plan to present it, if I get my name badge by then....)
A poster. Too many characters for the 2000 limit on Bluesky, but here are some of the words at least: Educating the global 21st Century InSAR workforce: lessons learned from the EarthScope InSAR Processing and Analysis (ISCE+) short course EarthScope offers an annual five-day online short course in InSAR processing and analysis. The goal is to train the InSAR workforce of the future, teaching a mixture of theory and practical skills, using authentic examples, exercises and codes. The learning outcomes Our goal is that by the end of the course, learners will be able to • Process interferograms using the ISCE software environment and adjacent open source software tools. • Distinguish between different sources of noise in InSAR data and apply appropriate corrections. • Interpret interferograms and prepare them for modeling. • Utilize pixel offset tracking to measure large surface motions such as those related to glaciers and large earthquakes. • Produce and utilize InSAR time series for their applications of interest. The set-up We use the Alaska Satellite Facility's OpenScienceLab to host the course. This cloud-based Jupyter Lab system allows us to offer an interactive training experience using research grade software, without the burden of installing software or sourcing computer hardware. The participants We offer the course to a global pool of potential attendees. In 2025, we received over 550 applications for 150 places; since 2018 we have admitted over 900 participants from over 40 countries on all six continents, alongside participants from the US. The future: challenges and opportunities • Challenges? Maintaining active participation during the online course, ensuring that we do not exclude worthy applicants, supporting the cost of the online platform, maintaining a diverse instructor pool. • Opportunities? Expansion of self-paced learning possibilities? Working with international partners and teaching assistants to offer the course in more time zones?
GEOSCIENTISTS OF NEW ORLEANS: I will be presenting this poster (#0267) on our EarthScope-supported and quite awesome annual InSAR short course this afternoon. Do stop by! #AGU25
