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?

USGS research has uncovered a 700-year sequence of major earthquakes in the eastern Aleutian Islands through tsunami evidence and modeling. This work enhances our understanding of seismic hazards in the region.

Cascadia subduction zone earthquake could be even worse than feared.
A once-every-500-years earthquake in the Pacific Northwest could shake for 5 minutes and cause 100-foot tsunami waves. That would be just the start of the horrors.

“We’d be losing the cornerstone report to communicate to the public the risks we face with climate change and how we can move forward,” said Dustin Mulvaney, professor of environmental studies @SJSU, an author on the southwest regional chapter.

National Climate Assessment Authors Are Dismissed by Trump Administration (Gift Article)
The Trump administration told researchers it was “releasing” them from their roles. It puts the future of the assessment, which is required by Congress, in doubt.

Myanmar Is in Ruins. And America Isn’t Coming.
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar on March 27. Buildings pancaked in Mandalay. Temples in Bagan shattered. Entire villages buried.

Magical INSAR led us to rupture from the M5.8 Parker Butte Nevada earthquake. 1.5 km of surface rupture, right lateral, max offsets 2-5 cm, on NNW plane. Conjugate to NE trending aftershocks.

Quick recap from todays recon of yesterdays M5.8 earthquake. Bottom line: no surface rupture observed after several transects across aftershock pattern. Lack of any surface cracking in epicentral area. Minor bank failures, lateral spread, and liquefaction features along Walker river.

Nice to see all the posts on the CA earthquakes here today. However, still need more agencies and individuals to migrate on over. Prob best for agencies to post on multiple platforms for greatest reach.
