🚨 QuakeHack 2025 was a blast! Huge congrats to the winning team wave2wave 🌊 who tackled earthquake research straight from the waveforms. 🧠 They were thrilled to take home a Raspberry Shake! 📦 It’s en route to Santa Cruz – more action shots soon! 🙌

What an incredible week at #QuakeHack: A statistical seismology hackathon for early-career researchers in the Swiss mountains. 19 people from around the world, four teams, four self-defined projects. We spent the week learning from each other, exploring new ideas, and figuring things out together.

#QuakeHack starts this Sunday! 💫 Together with Aron, Marta, and @vaniller.bsky.social, I can't wait to welcome a fantastic group of early-career scientists to Castasegna to tackle unsolved problems in statistical seismology. We were lucky to select incredibly enthusiastic and diverse participants!

💫 paper alert 💫 Marta's first paper of her PhD has just been published: nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/... In it, she describes the development and testing of a harmonized #earthquake #forecasting model for Europe. Not an easy thing to do. You should check out the paper!

Towards a harmonized operational earthquake forecasting model for Europe
Abstract. We develop a harmonized earthquake forecasting model for Europe based on the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model to describe the spatiotemporal evolution of seismicity. We propose...

The main DEI page from @agu.org has been modified to take diversity out of the title. Glad to see it's not deleted entirely, but hey AGU, we're watching what you do and remembering the big game you once talked about supporting your diverse membership. Today vs. January

With so many new people, time for a new intro: I came from pure maths to statistical seismology 5 years ago, and I love it! 🤩 whenever volcano friends need help in the field, you'll find me happily hiking unbelievable landscapes. But usually, I'll be behind my computer, just as excited (almost)

Alright bluesky, be ready for quakehack.ethz.ch - the first statistical #seismology #hackathon for early-career scientists. @vaniller.bsky.social, Aron, Marta and I will bring enthusiastic people to a beautiful place where they will form groups, define projects, and work on them for a week.

Am I the luckiest person ever to be on the top of Mauna Kea when there is a comet passing by? Photo taken by my dear friend Federica Lanza, with her phone.

Wow, so many new followers in such a short time! Hello everyone! I'm Leila, I do statistical #seismology. I mostly look at past seismicity and from that try to say something about future seismicity, aka #earthquake forecasting. (1/4)

Am Freitag konnte ich in einem Interview mit SRF zusammenfassen, wie vorhersehbar Erdbeben sind: Man kann erdbeben nicht vorhersehen. Aber nach einem relativ starken Beben ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit für ein noch grösseres vorübergehend um Grössenordnungen höher als an einem "normalen" Tag.

So excited about my first adult paper (without my supervisor!). For earthquake forecasting, computationally heavy simulations are usually needed to get the expected aftershock numbers. Together with Dario, we do the same thing 4 million times faster using machine learning. doi.org/10.1785/0220...

⭐ new publication! ⭐ I'm thrilled that our paper on how we developed and tested a suite of #earthquake #forecasting model candidates for #Switzerland is out in BSSA: pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/bssa/art...

So, now that we've all made it to #EGU24 and are already overwhelmed by all the science, may I challenge you to stay until the very end? I will say something about higher-order aftershock modeling, but the whole session should be cool and worth staying alive for until then!
