In a new #SRL paper, scientists use 1950s era aerial photographs and Keyhole satellite images from 1968 to study stream offset along the Xiaojiang fault. Because the region has been extensively anthropomorphically modified, these datasets are invaluable. ⚒️

4 physicists standing along a berm and in the tall grasses of the Everglades wetlands, conducting GPR surveys as a collaboration between Xavier Comas's research group & USGS.
📸 Do you work in near-surface geophysics? I'm looking for a few community photos (fieldwork, lab, classes, conferences) to include in a photo gallery in the upcoming issue of the EEGS magazine. Focus is environmental & engineering near-surface geophysics.

Last week trenching the northern Alpine Fault at Blue Grey River w/ @stef-eq-geology.bsky.social and @jameslagreca.bsky.social and friends looking for paleoearthquakes. Many sandfly enemies too

A new study considers the the Zougahana fault in Kyushu, Japan, and its relationship to the Futagawa fault and Aso caldera. The team uses paleoseismology to explore. Find out more in #BSSA. ⚒️

In Slovenia: at the bottom of the sea, the Faronika fish is said to reign. When it moves, the earth shakes and earthly disasters occur. The name of the fish is associated with the pharaoh's soldiers who were swallowed by the Red Sea and turned into fish, only occasionally taking on human form.
🔥Save the date for the next EGU TS TectoTalks session!!🔥⛏️🗻
This second session will focus on fault growth and evolution and their influence on fluid flow and seismicity

Earthquake Environmental Effects due to the December 6, 2025 Mw 7.0 Yukon Earthquake
We applied double-difference relocation to the mainshock and 3280 aftershocks to illuminate the fault rupture geometry, and we explore the implications in terms of regional tectonics.
In response to the Dec. 6 Mw 7.0 earthquake in southwest Yukon, colleagues and I put together this short paper for the YGS's annual Yukon Exploration and Geology volume.

A group of geologists in the field, standing around a trench
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
This study is part of a much larger USGS effort to characterize geologic records of past earthquakes and reduce uncertainties in earthquake recurrence estimates that are used seismic hazard models. 🧪⚒️🌊

Our new paper on earthquake records in the Cascadia Subduction Zone is out today!
The goal of our work is to reduce uncertainty in the timing and frequency of large earthquakes by investigating how and where subduction earthquake-triggered deposits are formed. 🧪⚒️🌊

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.

Our cheerleader Tina is describing 1976 earthquake damages in Antigua, Guatemala during patadays2026 city tour
Geologists in a convent
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

First day of the field trip along the 1976 M7.5 Guatemala earthquake, Patadays 2026
Day2 of patadays2026 field trip. More trenches, more offsets, more questions! Active tectonics in tropical environment is a real challenge
#patadays Day 2. The rupture of 1976 eq. on the Motagua fault, and his offset along a canal
🌟OPEN ACCESS🌟In a new #BSSA paper, a team of scientists conducted paleoseismology in eastern Taiwan, unearthing evidence of a total of five surface-rupturing events over the past 600 years. ⚒️
