For those who are curious about the #qld earthquake on Saturday morning here is an article in the @aunz.theconversation.com written by @deeninis.bsky.social and @mojtabarajabi.bsky.social - why does Australia get earthquakes when it isn’t close to any plate boundaries? Read to find out more.
Why does Australia have earthquakes? The whole continent is under stress from distant forces
Australia is a long way from the tectonic plate boundaries where most earthquakes happen – but we can’t escape the forces they create.

Why does tectonically “stable” Australia get earthquakes? @deeninis.bsky.social, Abbas and I explain in our new article for The Conversation.

🎯 Updated. Expanded. More comprehensive than ever.
Pleased to announce the 4th major release of the @wsmproject.bsky.social, the biggest update of the database since the project began.
With thousands of new data, the 2025 WSM brings the most comprehensive picture yet of Earth's present-day stress field.

Impact of faults on the remote stress state
Abstract. The impact of faults on the contemporary stress field in the upper crust has been discussed in various studies. Data and models clearly show that there is an effect, but so far, a systematic...
