How the UK’s tectonic past is key to its seismic present
Today I learnt something very interesting that I didn’t know before – that intraplate earthquakes in the UK mostly occur in western England and Scotland, not Ireland, eastern Scotland or southeast England (where I grew up). The cause of this … Continue reading
Content warnings when talking about disasters on social media
Like many others as Twitter continues its apparent spiral towards death eternally gridlocked dysfunction, I have been testing the waters on the distributed social network Mastodon. So far, I’ve been quite enjoying it, but it has been a big system shock … Continue reading
A deep origin for the Tohoku earthquake?
So if I’m reading this summary in Eos right, there is a new study suggesting that there was significant deformation of the subducted plate in the lead up to the M9 2011 Tohoku earthquake occurred – enough mass was redistributed to measurably … Continue reading
The long-term seismic impact of mega thrust earthquakes
Here’s a very interesting analysis of aftershock patterns in the wake of M9+ megathrust events: the aftershocks in a ‘core’ region closest to the rupture shut off within a few years of the main shock, after which seismicity might remain … Continue reading
Why do we get earthquakes a long way from plate boundaries?
There’s already a lot of good info out there about this week’s magnitude 5.9 earthquake near Melbourne, Australia. I wanted to dig a little more into the broader reasons you can get earthquakes like this in places you might not … Continue reading
Nice plan for content warnings on Mastodon and the Fediverse. Now you need a Mastodon/Fediverse button on this blog.
