🧪⚒️ In a recent paper in Nature Communications, Dr. Társilo Girona and Dr. Kyriaki Drymoni claim that their machine learning algorithm can predict upcoming large earthquakes. We tested the method, and found that it does not work. Read more on our blog.
We examine a new earthquake paper in Nature Communications.
The storm surge at Cedar Key, Florida from Hurricane Helene measured by a tide gauge and from GNSS-Interferometric Reflectometry

I'm at the SCEC meeting (aka earthquake geek central) this week, but as usual, am distracted by events. On my laptop this morning, I processed and analyzed the first Sentinel-1 InSAR data of the Morocco earthquake (descending track 154). We see bout 18cm of uplift and 4 cm of subsidence.
Similarly, at the Southern California Cal state universities very, very few geology grads (if any) have gone into oil and gas for the past 5 to 10 years. Most jobs are environmental, engineering or GIS related.
According to AGI geoscience graduates have been moving into non-O&G sectors since 2016-2017(plot below for MS degrees). For what it is worth, our undergrad and grad enrollments are up, but no O&G recruiters for years.
If you would like to learn more about GNSS reflections, think about watching Felipe Nievinski's upcoming seminar, Measuring a 100-year flood with GNSS-IR: the May 2024 catastrophic event in Brazil. Registration is here: bit.ly/3ZbnVSg . Questions should be directed to the host, Makan Karegar.
A summary paper on the GNSS Interferometric Reflectometry open source software has been published in GPS Solutions. The paper is freely available. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
