It is #TsunamiPreparednessWeek in British Columbia - a great time to learn more about the past and prepare for the future, starting with stories and lessons passed down from those who have lived on this coast for 1000’s of years 🧪⚒️🌊 hakaimagazine.com/features/gre...

Mega-quakes have periodically rocked North America’s Pacific Northwest. Indigenous people told terrifying stories about the devastation but refused to leave.

Write a love letter to yourself. Tell yourself how proud of you you are with wonderfully specific examples. Tell yourself the things you adore about yourself. Adorn it with ❤️s & 💐 and tuck it somewhere semi-secret & find it any time you need to feel just a little giddy about how fantastic you are.

“One of my favorite things about working for the USGS is that we are a science agency but we work on science to help our nation be more resilient, to help our nation be more prepared for natural hazards.” Also, just 😍 youtu.be/l5Gltfhp9NI?...

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.

People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

Do you think if we plotted awareness of the word “prerogative” it would peak in 1988? Maybe with a bump in 2004? Does anyone use that word anymore?

Incredible lava fountaining of Fuego 🌋 tonight. Live camera; as of midnight Pacific time it’s still going strong. Fuego’s last large eruption like this was in May 2023. It was unusually quiet from mid-Jan until early this morning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpqT...

So loved talking with @parmvir.com for @2scientists.bsky.social — follow her and the podcast for accessible brainy 🧠 takes on science and scientists (and science communication) of all flavors.

Interesting drive to the train station with my dad yesterday that exemplified a few things about trust and information. Dad was driving and told his car nav to show the route to the station. I had Google Maps on my phone do the same so I could help him. But the maps didn’t agree w his experience…

You know how we can sometimes prove our own unfounded fears? I have yet to find my hair band.

So here's my challenge to all you geology instructors: ask your students why plates subduct and report back on their answers. Pretty please!

Hi Bluesky! I research communication, relationships, and decision-making for risk reduction with a focus on volcanic hazards 🌋 and an eye on equity. Background in geology, Spanish, geophysics, journalism, and social science (broadly). Here for science and cats and new ideas about everything.

Fuego volcano, Guatemala, in silhouette at sunset, with ash drifting up from its summit crater.

Floofy black and white cat sleeping on my lap at my desk. Very cute. He has tufts of fur pointing out between his toe, also known as bean sprouts.

Me and a group of awesome grad students and our awesome cook in El Salvador on an NSF-funded International Research Experience for Students interdisciplinary research project on water scarcity.

Collaboration is the best. Pic of me and friend/research collaborator Dr Ailsa Naismith drinking coffee in front of Fuego Volcano, Guatemala, both with big smiles. Her mug reads “broken crayons still color.” Mine reads “love yourself.” We bought them during our grocery run because it made us laugh to think of them living at the volcano observatory, where we’re pictured.
