You may know me as the volcano guy. I'm a geologist and student from Melbourne with a passion for all things rocks and rock music. I also love video games and cricket. Twitch Affiliate Norsktalende | Siaradwr Cymraeg he/him 🇦🇺 han/ham 🇳🇴 o/fo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬

Fascinating that experts in extremism (which Marc is, btw) now see X as their core platform for research. (For over a decade, you had to delve into small telegram groups and other networks to track what extremists were saying.)

Just as a refresher since I haven’t been active here: I’m Osariik and I’m into rocks/geology, volcanoes, rock music, metal/metalcore, playing cricket, video games and pretty much anything else cool that I see.

If a strategy game has volcanoes in it, I'm about 470% more likely to purchase that game; closer to 4090% more likely if the volcanoes actually impact the game.

My favourite Unicode character is the Cyrillic character ꙮ, the multiocular O, which is literally only used in one phrase in one manuscript in the Old Church Slavonic language from the 15th century: "серафими многоꙮчитїй", which means "many-eyed seraphim".

Read this as: DON'T rush to Iceland to see this, even if you're a scientist. The starts of eruptive crises are chaotic & those in charge of protecting people don't need tourists taking resources from locals. People's homes and livelihoods are under threat, so have some humanity & watch a livestream.

🧪 ⚒️ A M5.8 earthquake occurred a few hours ago southeast of Mexico City. Not much damage, but interesting tectonics: the subducting slab is flat to the SW and bends down steeply to the NE. That bending seems to be capable of causing large, sometimes damaging earthquakes. Read more on our blog!

This is probably my all-time favourite album art. I love the album itself too and the band is one of my favourites, they mean everything to me, but I just absolutely LOVE the album cover. It's just so pretty and well-designed. I'm somewhat planning on getting part of it as a tattoo at some point.
The album cover for Future Fire by Stickup Kid. It shows a comic-style drawing off a boy on a hill facing away from the viewer, looking out over a city that rises from a sea of clouds at night. A blimp in the distance is labelled with "WASTED" (the name of one of the songs on the album). Giant beams of light aimed upwards from the ground in the image aim into the starry sky to where the band's name is written in bright yellow.

Australian Earthquakes - Halloween Edition 👻🎃⚒️🧪 Victoria’s ‘Haunted Hills’, located near Moe ~120 km SE of Melbourne, were named as such because early European colonists reported hearing ‘growling’ from under the ground, and noticed that grazing livestock would seem unsettled when in the hills. 1/3

Here’s a figure showing all earthquakes on record greater than M3.0 in the region of the M5.1 in the Otways, Victoria, overnight. The region has a number of NE-SW aligned neotectonic faults, one of which may have been responsible for last nights earthquake (and aftershocks) ⚒️🧪

A M5.1 earthquake occurred between Johanna and Apollo Bay, Victoria overnight. So where’s the fault? 🧐 In this region, the earth’s crust is being compressed in a NW-SE direction (blue arrows - L) and known neotectonic faults are aligned perpendicular to this (red lines - R) ⚒️🧪 1/2

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Mw 7.3 Pleasant Valley, the largest normal faulting earthquake in the USA. We dug this fault at multiple locations, found multiple earthquakes, and we are dating also the alluvial fans that are displaced. Results should come out within the next year.
