Could drought explain why the southern San Andreas fault has been quiet for more than 300 years? A new #SRL study explores this question, and more. ⚒️

First Sentinel-1 interferogram from southern Kamchatka! Lots of what I am assuming are tropospheric signals (e.g. over the volcanoes), but I also see long-wavelength fringes that change in azimuth from the NE (~shore-perpendicular) to the SW (~shore-parallel). Optimistic it could be the earthquake!

Quickly plot the rough location of the 2025 Mw8.8 Kamchatka earthquake (USGS hypocenter) on Figure 1 in Pinegina et al. (2018). I wonder if the 2025 event re-rupture the northern rupture of the 1952 Mw9.0 event? Also, did the 2025 event rupture across the "segment boundary" at ~N53?

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

The whole #MyanmarEarthquake rupture in one interferogram! This is three consecutive wide swath frames of ALOS-2 data, provided by JAXA through agreement with NASA. The line-of-sight (LOS) is ~perpendicular to fault strike, so most of what you see is vertical motion at bends and steps of the fault.

A historical seismicity map shows several #earthquakes of similar size to today’s M7.7 in Myanmar occurred in the region in the early 20th century, but this section of the Sagaing fault probably hasn’t ruptured since 1839 🧪⚒️

Miyazaki quake falls short of triggering Nankai Trough megaquake advisory
Though Monday's temblor struck a similar area to one in August that sparked the first advisory, no such alert was issued.
