I just noticed that the number of recognized exoplanets [6360] recently surpassed the number of recognized minerals [6239]. It’s like noticing your car odometer at 100,003 miles. #mincup26

If you care about Earth science in the US, please sign up for the NSF GEO virtual office hour Sept 15 with GEO directorate head Joydip Kundu! NSF leadership needs to hear directly that people care and are concerned about GEO. Maxxing out their Zoom tier sends a message. www.nsf.gov/events/nsf-g...

Earthquake Prediction Flowchart xkcd.com/3165/

Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

When the ground starts shaking, don’t panic like a CEO caught on the kiss cam. 👀 Take protective actions your HR director would approve of: Drop, Cover & Hold On. Unlike ducking out of frame at Coldplay, these steps actually protect you from harm—whether it’s falling debris or falling reputations.

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

For #FieldworkFriday, I want to highlight the critical role of NSF’s RAPID funding mechanism. RAPID grants have allowed me to quickly get equipment out in the field and recording irreplaceable data after M7.1 (in 2018) and M8.2 (in 2021) earthquakes along the Alaska subduction zone. 1/3

A GNSS antenna mast consisting of three legs stretched out and one center pole and with a gray antenna radome sitting on top is installed on a green grassy area. Behind the mast is an array of three solar panels with a large tan plastic case that contains batteries, a GNSS receiver, and other electronics. A house and a trees fill the background. This permanent GNSS site was installed after the M7.1 Anchorage earthquake in 2018.

A while cylindrical antenna mast with a white GNSS antenna on top sits on a grassy ridge. In the distance, a yellow tripod holds another GNSS antenna. Ocean and mountains stretch off in the distance. This campaign GNSS site (yellow trip) and continuous GNSS site (white mast) were installed after the 2021 M8.2 Chignik earthquake offshore the Alaska Peninsula.

I’m such a public transit nerd. I’m almost giddy that I get to sample a new bus system (Fairfax County) when a great bus driver rescued me and my bike with a flat tire.
