The cathedral of Metz at night
The cathedral of Metz - probably the largest and certainly one of the most beautiful French churches I've ever been to
It's been a while since I looked for earthsci education resources 😅 does anybody know of raspberry pi seismometer activities for primary level? 🙏❤️⚡
Come join us at Utrecht Eartn Sciences!

Call for papers – several special issues on paleoseismology and active tectonics

🌋Deep beneath the Apennines, hidden quake clusters are on the move—fluid‑powered and fault‑jumping. Vuan et al. study shows how they link Italy’s major 2009 and 2016 quakes.

Impressive normal fault in western Guatemala! #patadays post-congress field trip
Everyone loves 3D prints of #lidar topography! We put together a how-to tutorial video using the DEMto3D #QGIS plugin to make prints like these examples from @bayesmap.bsky.social. Check it out: opentopography.org/learn/3D_pri...
Title page of a review paper on the 1976 Earthquake
Today is the 50th anniversary of the Mw7.5 Guatemala Earthquake. The first sessions commemorate this disastrous event and shed light on the tectonics of the plate boundary and anti-seismic design in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Antigua.

Today we start with an Archaeoseismology walking tour through Antigua. Lots of earthquakes have affected the city since the 18th century, and we can see the traces as well as the antiseismic design. #PATADays
The cooperation between DFG and #TWAS allows to invite researchers in early career phases #ECR from various countries outside Europe to an institution in Germany for a 3-month research and collaboration stay. Full information on requirements, deadlines and info sessions:

I learned a lot during the 1st day of the INQUA PATA Days meeting in Antigua Guatemala. Great talks!

The last day of the PATA 2026 field trip took us to the La Laguna trench site, which has evidence for five events including 1976
#patadays Day 3. Another spectacular evidence of Motagua fault, in a complex structural bending at La Laguna. Trastensive cinematic, well expressed in a paleoseismological trench.
🚨 New map redraws our understanding of how continents deform 🚨
We are excited to share ground-breaking work led by COMET Co-Director @timwrightleeds.bsky.social, published in @science.org. Read more: comet.nerc.ac.uk/new-map-redraws-our-understanding-of-how-continents-deform/

#patadays Day 2. The rupture of 1976 eq. on the Motagua fault, and his offset along a canal

Day 1 of the PATA field trip led the participants to a slip rate site and a trench on the Motagua Fault. Today we will see earthquake damage to Maya ruins at Quirigua.

The pre-meeting field trip of the 2026 PATA Days starts from Antigua Guatemala with 40+ people from 15 countries.
Three days of paleoseismology, archaeoseismology, and active faults ahead of us.

That's not exactly the spot I'd have chosen if I were a tree. But little do I know for I am not a tree.

Volcano Fuego in Guatemala has some minor activity, probably excited to welcome PATA Days participants from all around the world, soon.

After discovering an exceptionally well-preserved ant that is around 40 million years old in one piece of Goethe's amber collection, the team at #UniJena was able to capture detailed 3D-images of the ant and gained new insights into the extinct species.
