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

You could hear him put effort into it too. But he did it twice, so the idiots at the back got it.

For anyone arguing that this isn't the same salute. Here is a side-by-side view. It's not just that the arm is extended outward. It's the entire movement of bringing the right hand to then extending the arm straight with the palm facing downward. This is intentional.

it takes 5 min to write a code... it takes years to find all bugs and edge-cases... #python @jetbrains.com #pycharm #MSNoise (yes, I should/could use f-strings etc etc... but all that takes .. time!)
example code, chunk of MSNoise showing code written in 2017 and bug-fixed yesterday...

Hey #python and other #devs gurus: is splitting a large python API a good idea in general (and then importing sub-apis categories within that file?) e.g. github.com/ROBelgium/MS... is quite long and contains database, IO, etc... Any advice welcome @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social @pythonhub.dev

Some Friday afternoon "free time" work done on MSNoise! 🐍The test suite is now converted to pytest, and the github actions are now finally reruning the coverage tests too! I've added basic tests for msnoise admin! Now need to add more tests (AC & SC) and ideally run the examples too! 🔥

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

Hello MSNoise users, if you use the dev version (master) and running a version installed after July 2024, please make sure to update it now, there was a mistake in the coordinates "synced" !! github.com/ROBelgium/MS...

BUGFIX !! update_station got lat-lon reversed!! since July this year,… · ROBelgium/MSNoise@e8f6ad7

A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang Earth for 9 days
Climate change is increasingly predisposing polar regions to large landslides. Tsunamigenic landslides have occurred recently in Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), but none have been reported from the east...

It took military data, a complex tsunami simulation, 68 scientists, and one unfortunate bathtub experiment to find out what caused a bizarre global seismic event. www.quantamagazine.org/how-did-a-la...

How Did a Landslide Shake the Earth for Nine Days? | Quanta Magazine
Last year, an immense but brief outburst of seismic energy was soon followed by a long hum that made the world ring. Finding its cause took 68 scientists and an assist by the Danish military.

(For my part, I processed InSAR data over Dickson Fjord and was able to independently detect decorrelation consistent with the expected tsunami run-up around the edges of the fjord. I did not find any obvious pre-event signal on the rocky peak, but it certainly did decorrelate after it fell.)

First I heard of it was an email from @seismotom.bsky.social inviting colleagues to join an online discussion where he and many other seismologists were puzzling over this bizarre signal that they had independently detected on their seismic networks, with input from geomorphologists and modelers.

Out today! The results of an awesome multidisciplinary collaboration of dozens of scientists across the globe (including me, in a very minor role)! A rockfall into a glacier into a fjord in Greenland caused a tsunami and seiche that generated a monotonic seismic signal for 9(!) days!
