Our work with Sam Stockman and Dan Lawson features in this short piece. @JGIBristol @cabotinstitute @UoBEarthScience
Seismologists are finally making traction on one of their most tantalizing but challenging goals: using machine learning to improve earthquake forecasts. go.nature.com/3EYLtyo

Our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi has just been published #OpenAccess in @RAS_Journals #GJI Our results imply significant changes to previous seismic hazard maps in Malawi, and underly the importance of using geologic and geodetic data in PSHA🧵1/6
Published in #GJI Geophysical Journal International: "Fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in regions with low strain rates and a thick seismogenic layer: a case study from Malawi", Williams et al. This is Fig. 1: to read the paper visit academic.oup.com/gji/article…
ALT Map of Malawi in the context of (a) the Malawi Active Fault Database (MAFD; Williams et al. 2022c) and the Sub-Saharan Africa Global Earthquake Model (SSA-GEM) catalog Poggi et al. (2017) and (b) regional geological terranes Fullgraf et al. (2017). BMF; Bilila-Mtakataka Fault.

Before everyone leaves Twitter, check out our new model for estimating the magnitude and frequency of #earthquakes along Malawi's active faults👇. Includes some neat comparisons between fault slip rates measured over 75 ka and when inferred from geodesy🧐 1/4

🚨 I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO SHARE THIS🚨
Every single university in the UK will be shut down with 18 days of strike action across February and March
RT if you will support UCU members
RT if you will be on our pickets

When you ask the authors of articles in Science® to share their data, which the journal told you was mandatory when you submitted your article, the response very often boils down to GFY. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1708290…

✊WE HELD THE LINE ✊
🔥WINS AGAINST CASUALISATION & OVERWORK🔥
💥full employment rights for all💥no more zero hours contracts 💥routes to permanency💥caps on teaching workloads💥
We will put the final agreement to a members vote. Share this widely. Hold RCA SMT to account!!

The first in a three-part webinar series on Natural Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction in the East African Rift is taking place this Friday – check out the programme at saferpreparedafrica.net/ and register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/natural-h…. We hope to see you there!

Thank you to Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham for writing to university bosses in support of striking staff
We need better pay & working conditions
If vice chancellors want to end this dispute they must meet our demands

Good morning from the early morning picket at Guys Campus @KingsCollegeLon! Our fantastic cleaners out in force to say our pay and conditions are #NotGoodEnough #OneOfUsAllOfUs

Testimonials read out by precarious staff @Bristol_UCU rally resonated deeply, having spent 16 yrs(!) as a casual university researcher. All staff on permanent contracts must avoid feeding the short term labour mill #rethinkshortresearchcontracting we CAN do it differently👇

Wow I wonder what students’ parents think of the university literally cutting the door down. Interesting ‘student experience’. #OneOfUsAllOfUs

UCU members at 63 universities are continuing strike action this week in their fight for better pay and working conditions
Employers need to listen to us and treat staff fairly

Save the date!🗓️
On 2nd March, let’s call time on our broken education system. Join the movement in a strike!
Students will WALK OUT // TEACH IN together. We’ll take over central London, and hold our own space to learn. #NewVisionForEducation 📢
