SSA 2024 session alert! Join us in Anchorage for "From Faults to Fjords: Earthquake Evidence in Terrestrial and Subaqueous Environments." We seek presentations that highlight paleoseismic records from all depositional environments/laboratory analyses/ modeling studies/syntheses.
EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT: Mendenhall post-doc research opportunity posted online usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-…
***BREAKING***
🌊Super #AGU2023 session reminder: T018. Integrating Wide, Open Datasets into Models of the Subduction Zone Earthquake Cycle to Improve Societal Resilience'. We seek collaborative efforts that integrate open and accessible subduction zone datasets🌊agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prel…

"Geologists can't predict exactly when, where, or how big the next earthquake and tsunami might be, but we can use evidence of past tsunamis to figure out how often these events occur, and how large potential future tsunamis might be." Learn more here: ow.ly/C2NJ50M3CEQ

Years in the making, the SZ4D Implementation Plan is out! This is the culmination of the SZ4D and MCS Research Coordination Networks - and also the opening of the next chapter for this massive community effort.
It's here! We are extremely excited to share with you the @SZ4D1 Implementation Plan. The plan articulates a cogent and forward-looking vision for the future of subduction-zone science. Spread the word! @NSF

Pacific coastal communities have experienced several devastating tsunamis over the past few decades. Some of the most dangerous started from earthquakes along Alaska’s Aleutian Islands between 1938-65. Learn more: ow.ly/yzOO50LuCTN #worldtsunamiawarenessday @USGS_Alaska

Check out our new article in EOS reviewing over a decade of coastal paleoseismology work along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone and how it informs tsunami hazard assessments in the Pacific region 🌊🧵

Good thing I’m here on this Cascadia paleoseismology fieldwork, no one else could get this core out of the ground!* @WitterBanter @_sourcetosink @seismicdave1 @vtgeosciences #cascadiasubductionzone #tsunamis #earthquakes

Tsunami update from @WitterBanter @rangefront @diatomdura @SeaLevelChange @USGS_Quakes @USGS_Alaska @vtgeosciences.
New research indicates that the Aleutians, cradle of Pacific tsunamis, launch dangerous waves every 60–90 years, on average.

David Bruce and Jessica DePaolis, PhD students in the Coastal Hazards Lab with @diatomdura, traveled to north-central Chile this summer to describe and measure the 9/16/2015 tsunami deposit. The samples collected will undergo more detailed analyses in the lab this school year. 🧵

#EarthquakeReport for M 7.6 #Sismo #Terremoto #Earthquake offshore of #Colima #Michoacan border en #Mexico
PAGER alert estimates lots of damage and Sadly lots of suffering
Shaking intensity modeled to abt MMI 8 or 9. No reports exceeding MMI7 yet

Alaska Native leaders are calling on @GovDunleavy to request a federal disaster declaration to release federal funds to aid in #merbok disaster recovery. A spokesman for @AlaskaDHSEM told me they "don't see the need for federal assets to respond to the impacts of the storm.”
Just registered an M7.6 near Aquila, Mexico on my RaspberryShake in Anchorage
