The M7.7 quake ruptured roughly 200 kilometers of Myanmar's Sagaing Fault. According to @judithgeology.bsky.social and @kyle-bradley.bsky.social, there's likely up to 5 meters of slip along the fault. This is a big one near some dense populations. More in their summary below:
Catastrophic M7.7 earthquake caused by rupture of Sagaing Fault in Myanmar
Limited reporting thus far from Myanmar, but this is a big one

Latest update from IMO about Svartsengi:
Magma continues to accumulate, and its volume beneath Svartsengi has never been greater since the eruption sequence began in December 2023. The most likely scenario is an eruption in the area between Sundhnúkur and Stóra-Skógfell

On the late evening of 15 March 2025, Strombolian activity started at the Southeast Crater on #Etna. Here are a few photos taken around midnight from the area of Piano Vetore, high on the southwest flank of the volcano.

I'm no interested in travelling there and many in my group have also cancelled their plan to attend AGU fall meeting this year.
People seem oddly confident there will be an AGU Fall Meeting this year.

Development of magma accumulation & estimated total volume of magma beneath Svartsengi. The zero point is based on the state before land uplift began in late October 2023. The total volume of magma beneath Svartsengi is now greater than what had accumulated before last eruption on Nov20, 2024.

Arctic seaice extent may have peaked. This would be an extremely low maximum. Let's wait for NSIDC statement.
Mér sýnist að útbreiðsla hafís á Norðurslóðum hafa náð hámarki. Þetta verður þá eitthvert lægsta hámark sem vitað er um síðan mælingar hófust. NSIDC (nsidc.org/sea-ice-today) gefur vonandi út yfirlýsingu fljótlega (þó aðförin að loftslagsrannsóknum vestanhafs geti hugsanlega tafið)

If you're worried about aviation safety, these NOAA/NWS cuts are just as alarming as anything happening at FAA.

If you're worried about aviation safety, these NOAA/NWS cuts are just as alarming as anything happening at FAA.
NEW: The Commerce Department has begun laying off potentially hundreds of NOAA employees.
Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA
The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

IMO's models suggest the volume of magma accumulated beneath Svartsengi has exceeded the amount present before the eruption that began on November 20, 2024.
It is anticipated that an eruption may start in Sundhnúksgígaröð with very short warning. Below latest IMO news:
