New! We study the disruptive 2025 earthquake unrest near #Santorini using machine-learning derived seismicity as virtual stress meters at depth. We show the unrest was due to a magma dike intrusion, imaging in detail a complex, rebounding process of dike propagation.

The 2025 Santorini unrest unveiled: Rebounding magmatic dike intrusion with triggered seismicity
Magmatic intrusion in Earth’s crust can lead to hazardous volcanic eruptions, but the physical processes involved remain largely hidden from direct observation. We used machine learning–derived seismi...

Belated happy mid-autumn festival to everyone who has a cultural background of using the lunar calendar! Sadly, in Europe, there's no Thanksgiving, which means no fall holiday! Hence, a self-embracement of the moon is something I couldn't miss!

I moved to France ~three weeks ago to work as a postdoc fellow at Géoazur! I am enjoying grabbing new types of datasets from MERMAIDs in a new group, chatting with so many geophysicists around, and having an office mate who is an awesome engineer of the mermaid system!

Transferring at Dubai, UAE, on the way to Europe from Korea. I feel like this airport has customers of the highest diversity I've ever experienced. Certainly, I feel from the skin that this is the gateway to Europe. Likely similar to back in the historic times when the silkroad existed!
