A rare, ultra deep earthquake (~400 km) in the Gulf of Naples!

Volcanic features offshore Mayotte and seismic/hydrophone stations used. The network includes four onshore broad-band (BB) stations (black), one accelerometer (red) and multiple ocean-bottom hydrophones (OBH, orange). Offshore stations combine deployments MAYOBS1 (Feb–May 2019) and MAYOBS2 (May–Oct 2019). An asterisk (e.g. MOC*⁠) marks instruments redeployed across campaigns. P-T is Petite-Terre, east of Mayotte’s main island. Geomorphological boundaries and volcanic features (shaded areas in the bathymetry) follow N. Feuillet et al. (2021); V. Puzenat et al. (2022). Bathymetry is from MAYOBS campaigns (S. Jorry 2019).

Pyroclastic flows at Etna have been confirmed by INGV ⚒️🌋

Map of the Lötschtal showing the area affected by the glacier collapse. Blue colors show lost elevation, red areas elevation gains. The two most notable areas are the collapsed peak of Kleines Nesthorn and the collapsed glacier which are shown in deep blue with elevation loss of up to 128m and 51m respectively. The material slid down the mountain in an approximately 400m wide path and accumulated in a 2,5km long area on the valley floor which is up to 32m thick. The newly formed lake above the village of Blatten is also drawn in. The Map text reads: Kleines Nesthorn and Birchgletscher collapse / Blatten im Lötschental (VS) On Wednesday, May 28th, a2025, the Birchgletscher glacier collapsed under the weight of rock and debris following the partial collapse of the Kleines Nesthorn. Approximately 10 million cubic meters of debris flowed into the valley, burying large parts of the villages of Blatten and Ried. The debris also blocked the Lonza River, forming a small lake that destroyed several more houses in Blatten. Analyis Using Oblique imagery collected and provided by swisstopo on May 30th, 2025, a photogrammetric DEM was created and compared to the swissALTI3D DEM. The following volume change was measured in the affected area: Above Volume (m³): 11.2 Mio Below Volume (m³): 10.1 Mio

I also derived a new elevation model from the aerial images, allowing me to visualize the elevation change in the affected areas.
The rocks and debris in the valley are locally up to 32m thick and I estimate the total displaced volume is about 11 million cubic meters. #Blatten

My automated inversion of source spectrum captured the largest one (Mw 3.3), with an interesting peak at 10 Hz at all the recording stations 🤔. More details: ssphex.ipgp.fr/catalog/fr20.... The SspHex website: ssphex.ipgp.fr

Map of Myanmar area showing sharp color change along the fault running roughly north-south. Red on west side where land moved northward.

NASA JPL ARIA project analysis of data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 radar images measured the slip on the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar. Quick preliminary map. More details later. Fault ruptured about 500 km (300 miles) in the magnitude 7.7 […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]

Heat map of N-S displacement at Sagaing, Myanmar, before and after the March 2025 earthquake. The right east (right) side was displaced northward by about 2 m while the west side was displaced southward by about 4.5 m, indicating 6.5 m of N-S slip along a rupture that bisects the city.

Very (very) rough analysis indicates >6 m of slip.
I resolve pixel offset using DIC in experimental cm sized samples with speckle pattern, and never used it before on satellite images. However the dextral offset is pretty clear, and I trust my calibration so the slip magnitude should be about right.

First Satellite Images from Myanmar are available. Surface Deformation along the Sagaing Fault and the collapsed Ava.Bridge are visible in Downtown Sagaing. Pictures and Videos from the Surface Rupture have been reported since Friday.

The fault involved in the M7.7 earthquake in #Myanmar is well known but the #Mandalay area didn't show much seismic activity so far.

Looking at the historical earthquake map and the preliminary USGS slip model below, it seems today's large earthquake filled partly the gap between 20 and 22 degrees North latitude.
