A M7.7 earthquake just struck southern Panama - the largest on-land earthquake the country has experienced in recorded history. What do we know, why did it occur, and what can we expect? ⚒️ 🧪 earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/m77-earthq...

This earthquake in Panama is the 12th earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater this year. Is this an unusual number of large quakes? No. This graph shows M7+ earthquakes over the last 30 years. This year is very average.

This graph shows earthquakes of magnitude seven or greater since 1996.

Aftershocks provide a pretty good idea of what the fault that ruptured today in the magnitude 7.7 Mw Panama Earthquake looks like. Oriented striking sightly off of east-west, they're a good match for the 288 degree nodal plane in the USGS's moment tensor for the event.

USGS map of the mainshock (largest orange circle) and aftershocks (smaller circles) of today's Panama Earthquake. The earthquakes form a clear line about 150 km long that's shifted slightly south of east-west and runs across the entire Azuero Peninsula.

All four are right wing agitprop. The ”problem” with social sciences is that they cannot exist alongside politically mandate white Christian nationalism. Their conclusions cannot be made to align, so they must be destroyed.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

nytimes.com

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)

The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Good morning! Monthly climate change indicator update time... 🫣 + Global temperature: 📈 + Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 📈 + Methane (CH₄): 📈 + Nitrous oxide (N₂O): 📈 Download at zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through August 2026. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 428 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1939 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 340 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA GML. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.
