Two weeks ago, a video appeared showing slip in the Myanmar earthquake - the first time this has ever been recorded on video.

What can we learn from it? We deep-dive the science.

When I looked through the EGU25 program, I immediately knew I wanted to write about AI and science - so I did!

I'm considering writing a part 2 so, feel free to comment, thoughts on AI/LLMs in science? Anything is welcome!

Mehrere starke Beben haben heute Vormittag die Region südlich von Istanbul erschüttert. Das stärkste Beben hatte eine Magnitude von 6.2. Es folgten (bis jetzt) vier weitere. Über die Hintergründe informieren wir hier: www.gfz.de/presse/meldu...

Die Erdbeben heute bei #Istanbul haben kaum Schaden angerichtet. Doch sie sind Teil eines Countdowns zur Katastrophe.

Hier erkläre ich, warum der große Knall als unvermeidlich gilt - aber niemand weiß, wann er kommt.

A M6.5 earthquake shook the remote Norwegian island of Jan Mayen earlier today - reported felt by two of the very few people stationed there over winter. What's going on up there in the Arctic? We explore the geology, history, and geography.

Read our new post, with updates on the seismic swarm in Greece. The seismicity seems to be migrating to the northeast, and maximum depths are shallowing. Rates of seismicity have held pretty steady since Feb 2.
