There was also some great information about the secondary hazards that caused most of the casualties and damage - fires, tsunami, liquefaction and mudslides

Nice persistent scattering pixels though...

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.)

⚒️ 🧪 A M8.8 earthquake just ruptured the subduction zone offshore Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula. This is one of the world’s truly huge earthquakes, and a triggered tsunami is currently traveling across the Pacific ocean. This same fault ruptured on July 20th in a M7.4, and last August in a M7.1.

📷 Mount #Etna’s latest eruption on 2 June was caught by #Copernicus Sentinel-2. This image shows lava distribution from the eruption using an infrared overlay to highlight lava flowing. 🧪🌋

Mount Etna erupts
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission has captured a dramatic image of Mount Etna erupting on 2 June 2025 when a massive plume of ash, gas and rock suddenly burst from Europe's largest active volcano.

Ignore the concrete driveway and focus on the brown hill in the background behind the arch and peeking over the sliding gate.

What do a magnitude 5 earthquake, a nuclear bomb test, and the Mount St. Helens eruption have in common? They all released about the same amount of energy. We're excited to share that we've updated the classic "How Often Do Earthquakes Occur?" figure with new data and examples! (1/2)
Bell-shaped graph comparing earthquake magnitude and frequency (left) to total energy release in TNT equivalents (right). Includes notable earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, impacts, and explosions. Shows that smaller earthquakes happen frequently, while large ones are rare but extremely energetic.

Thanks for having me @egu.eu and thanks to all that came to my talk on interseismic strain from #insar - had a blast! #EGU25

EGU'ers head to session G3.5 tomorrow morning to see my talk on the temporal evolution of strain rate from InSAR 🛰️ 09:48 in K2 - see you there! #EGU25

It’s nice to be at #EGU25 with people that take science seriously, but it’s also weird to be here when science is under assault in the US. I’m currently in a talk by a NASA climate scientist who wasn’t allowed to attend the meeting and the talk had to be given by a Norwegian colleague. 😩

The USGS already released a shakemap for the M7.7 #earthquake in Myanmar a few minutes ago. This will be devastating. ⚒️🧪 earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Shakemap by USGS for the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar on Mar 28, 2025. Shaking expected up to violet. There will be heavy damage.
