GFZ solutions are nearly identical for the two quakes. So I guess an issue with the first USGS mechanism.

GFZ have them with almost identical focal mechanisms. I guess the second earthquake has messed up USGS mechanism for the first?

compound with the gates? If so then fault is more or less north-south?

I think this is it. The dark areas in the recent Sentinel-2 imagery are the solar panels.

Comments in this video have it at 20°52'55.4"N 96°02'07.0"E www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ub... . Image shows location on COMET N-S displacements from Sentinel-1. About 3 m of overall displacement, but higher-res offset data would be good to get details.

Incredible. Been waiting a long time to see a surface rupture video. The rupture is pretty simple (single strand) so I'd guess it was the primary fault comet.nerc.ac.uk/myanmar-eart... . But there looks like a small stepover near Thazi? Anyone managed to get a fix on the exact location yet?

Sorry - our systems were not optimised for earthquakes of this scale. We have made some along-track mosaics available at gws-access.jasmin.ac.uk/public/nceo_... (e.g. gws-access.jasmin.ac.uk/public/nceo_...)

Thanks to the Bristol students for organising

Excited to be at the @uk-comet.bsky.social annual student meeting in Bristol. Always a highlight of the year.

10p in UK with free delivery! Seems unlikely to work but let’s see

Self promotion 📢 alert! I did this podcast on why we can't predict earthquakes. Would be great to hear what you think. www.podmasters.co.uk/why

Did my University really improve over the last 2 years? Not sure it feels like it from the inside.

OK - it was a gif, but maybe they don't work here? Here are the two interferograms separately

In case you missed it, this gif shows deformation in Afghanistan from the 4 ~M6.3 quakes on 7, 10 and 15 October, captured with InSAR from ESA Sentinel-1. Data processed by the NERC_COMET LiCSAR system. Download from event page comet.nerc.ac.uk/earthquakes/...
