GNS have confirmed they are cutting over forty science roles including in areas like risk modelling and geohazards, in service of “improved” profits. This is what a commercial model for public good science does. The damage to our capability and reputation will be long-lasting.

‘Huge blow’: GNS Science confirms move to cut 10% of its workforce

Hazard-focused roles among dozens of jobs to be cut in confirmed GNS Science restructure.

Welcome ✅

Of all the countries in the world that need a strong program in earth science / geophysics, New Zealand would surely be close to the top if the list. However, this: www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/gns-cuts-...

Cost cutting could ‘devastate’ research on NZ’s biggest tsunami threat - 85 experts

Dozens of the world's top geoscientists have urged GNS to rethink axing 46 research jobs.

🌍 We have just extracted a NEW global network of researchers and a global 100 scientist top ‘influencers’ on Bluesky. @lassehjorthmadsen.bsky.socialmikeyoungacademy.dk/communities-... 😀 All 'likes' and reshares appreciated!

Communities of scientists are emerging on Bluesky - Mike Young Academy

Global network data: The ‘nicer’ alternative to X is fortifying its presence in fields that range from philosophy to chemistry, finance, and beyond.

Comes up under “hammer” but not sure on the detail ! There are other keywords because tagging was not really a thing in bsky … it’s all evolving.

Also - ⚒️probably doesn’t appeal to atmospheric and ocean scientists quite as much as to solid rock folks but that’s ok - you can tag with #earth-science and it will still be filtered into the list.

No complaints - breadth is good. There is an expectation of expertise in the field that applies to people who are posting. That is why there is a list of contributors.

I can’t always tell with new users who have no academic / research bio or relevant posts. If I have missed you please ask to be added - it’s just become busy round here and I can’t always keep up !

@earth-science.bsky.social - just breaking the fourth wall for a moment here. We have had many new users joining and following the ⚒️list which is wonderful. I usually monitor the follows and will add people to the posting list if they are knowledgeable earth scientists …
