I think it might be time to start stockpiling thermometers 🌡️ At some point this week the climate crisis will be solved by banning the manufacture, sale or use of all devices used for the measurement of temperature.

these old horizontal pendulum seismometers still give the best signals from teleseismic surface waves
Shallow (0.6 km) M7.0 earthquake, California, at 18.44 UTC on 5 December 2024. Recorded in Nottingham using 'slinky' (top) and horizontal pendulum school seismometers

The UK now has more citizen science raspberryshake seismic stations than professional ones. Some detect surprisingly good signals from 8000km away, even with sub-optimal sites tgey see big events. R94C3 is in my garden office (aka the shed) and detected P waves from todays California earthquake ⚒️

I saw an otter in Rutland Water (a large man-made reservoir in the middle of england) for the first time on this morning's dog walk, no photos but it brightened my day.

This year the ShakeOut date for the USA fell on the 35th anniversary of the deadly and destructive Loma Prieta earthquake, but those of you in Aoteoroa New Zealand still have a week to get involved.

Attending conferences as an exhibitor can get a bit draining, especially when they put the exhibition stands in a windowless basement. however sometimes you get to spend a week by the sea in Corfu, so not all bad. thank you to the European Seismological Commission local organising committee
