P-waves from yesterday’s (23:03:54 UTC 2026/03/09) M6.0 Tyrrhenian Sea (off west coast of Italy) earthquake recorded on my @raspishake.bsky.social seismometer in Newcastle-under-Lyme, England ⚒️🧪
Reports have been received that the event was felt in Kinloch Rannoch, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry. It has been described as: "heavy rumbling, as if a big truck were going past", "a deep rumbling" and that residents "felt the house shake."
A graphic which reads 'seismic activity alert'. A gold S wave runs across the graphic, which is dark blue. The BGS logo is top right.

It was a M3.1 near Tai Tapu on the 23 November 2024: geonet.org.nz/earthquake/f...
I didn't feel the quake today! I felt one back in October or November 2024 which was at the western end of the Port Hills Fault, but that is the only quake I've felt so far in Christchurch

In 2023, a pair of earthquakes rocked Türkiye. But are there similar paired events that occurred in this region in the past? A new #SRL paper explores a seismic sequence from 1114-1115 CE through the lens of the 2023 events. ⚒️

Signal on seismic station AU.FITZ from a Malaysian earthquake February 22, 2026. Magnitude 7.1 #earthquake just over an hour ago off the coast of #Malaysia (2026-02-22Z16:57) The good news is that it is deep (over 600 km) which greatly reduces the harm it can cause.

A thread for the 15-year anniversary of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. I won’t have a chance to post it on the day, so I’m doing it a couple days early. Note that the work I’m posting was carried out by many brilliant people. 1/
A squash field with a dirt road running across it. On the dirt road are two men, one arms crossed looking across the squash field, another walking back towards a parked car looking at a device. In the background are a low range of hills with grey cloudy skies above, and a small stand of poplar trees stands further back in the squash field.
It was fantastic to join you, thank you @aotearoa-unzpd.bsky.social for organising & driving me up to, around & back from rural Hawke’s Bay!
Two seismologists in a squash field feels like the opening to an odd joke 😅
I'm stoked to have delivered the Annual Art Deco science talk in Napier commemorating the 1931 Hawke's Bay quake and rebuild. #eqnz. This time focusing on the 1863 Waipukurau quake. Thanks also to @jhgurneyquakes.bsky.social for joining me

"Accumulation of "strain" along the Kuril Trench confirmed by seafloor observations - Possibility of imminent recurrence of megathrust earthquake off the coast of Hokkaido since the 17th century"
"imminent" may be months, to years, to decades imo
On February 3, 1931, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Hawke’s Bay, causing a mass loss of life & leaving thousands injured.
The earthquake struck at 10.47am, leading to the loss of 256 lives - 161 in Napier, 93 in Hastings & two in Wairoa.
We remember this event 95 years ago today.

Kilauea erupted again yesterday in a fierce display. In only the 2nd time in 40 years, park officials closed the area due to the intensity.
Fountains were officially recorded at 500 m high, grapefruit size tephra were being ejected, and tephra fall was measured up to 20 miles away.

The Greenlandic government to Greenlanders: prepare for an invasion, and don't be put off by his statement at Davos that he doesn't intend to invade
A fast moving coronal mass ejection (CME) means the northern lights may be visible overnight, and perhaps on Tuesday night too
The arrival time of the CME is uncertain, but aurora sightings are possible in northern Britain and perhaps in southern areas depending on cloud cover.
Picture of the Sun producing a solar flare. Text: "SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED: Prepare your cameras! NOAA says that a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm is possible on Jan. 20th when a CME is expected to slam into Earth's magnetic field. The CME was launched on Jan. 18th by an X1.9-class solar flare from sunspot 4341:"
The CME is forecast to strike "during the early hours of Jan. 20th.. could spark auroras visible to the naked eye in at least a dozen northern-tier US states. Photographic auroras with colors visible only to cameras could descend as far south as AZ, TX and southern CA. spaceweather.com
@alomaxnet.bsky.social Hi Anthony. Just wanted to ask what happened with your Early-Est website? I noticed it stopped working in early October & hasn't been going since. I find it such a valuable resource!
The new carnyx from Norfolk is the most complete ever found, & I can’t wait for the first reproduction to appear & be played. But it wasn’t alone! Also incredibly rare boar standard & shield bosses were deposited with it!

I got a very nice signal of the M2.3 #earthquake near Roermond, NL, this early morning. My Raspishake is 100km away from the epicenter. ⚒️🧪 @raspishake.bsky.social
I'm near Portsmouth and we have a light dusting of snow on the ground. A bit unexpected, but might take a while to melt! Not forecast to get about 0°C until midday here!

Mw6.2 earthquake hit Akhalkalaki, southern Georgia, destroying villages and killing 800 people. Also felt in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey. M5.8 EQ near in 1986 but less damaging.

Two slope maps of the bathymetry around the Noto Peninsula and Sado Island highlighting the location of a nearshore scarp.
The EQ faults (& scarp) are drowned by the current high stand. Nearby Sado Island shares similar deformation record and is flanked by a similar nearshore scarp. It is the potential location of a large fault system initially suggested by Ota Yoko in 1992 (she was 🎯). 2/3
