Always a pleasure to work with the uber-talented @dralkatrip.bsky.social. Do we know everything there is to know about earthquakes in South Carolina? Not by a long shot! I look forward to seeing what comes out of the GAtech deployment.
For @earthscope.org, I talked to @seismosue.bsky.social about her recent earthquake ghost story (published in @seismosocam.bsky.social's #SRL) and graduate student Oluwaseyifunmi Adeboboye, who helmed separate work looking at a curious, possibly comparable swarm elsewhere in South Carolina. ⚒️🧪

Once upon a time, a devoted wife waited for her husband by the railroad tracks. Tragically, they were not to reunite. The wife learned that her husband had been decapitated in a train-related accident...

Interesting talk! I find myself wondering how HPW fits into this story. 3-km nearest fault distance, vertical PGA over 1g, horizontal around 0.5g. But gotta be sure the metadata are sorted out.
Are you at the @seismosocam.bsky.social meeting? Are you interested in learning about how faults might be able to throw rocks into the air? Come to my talk at 11:00 today in Key Ballroom 11!

Some faults are scary and some faults are creepy (and some are both). A new portal shows creep rates at 3 sites in northern and central California, going back as much as 30 years.

Last summer I was fortunate to visit a regional @nws.noaa.gov office in Colorado, with two grandsons. It was fascinating to see 1) how much they do to monitor & assess weather threats, and 2) how small they are.

The seismologist never wants to give in to Henny Pennyism, but a M3.5 near Boron reminds us that recent large quakes left a pretty big gap in the Mojave desert.

Enough with the tease. My outside the boxest idea for investigating active faults in low-strain-rate regions.
Has she lost her ever-lovin’ mind? Or created a whole new discipline, spectral-seismology? Time will tell.
