The position is part of a larger project involving collaboration with Geoscience Australia (i.e. the team I'm in!) and other partners I'm happy to answer any general Q's regarding Australian postdoc/academic positions. Contact Mark Quigley for specific info on the position

Today’s M5.9 shallow reverse faulting earthquake in China occurred in a seismically active region, with significant population centers nearby. There are early reports of casualties and significant damage. 🧪⚒️

The M3.2 earthquake near Berridale (15km E of Jindabyne) NSW earlier this week has been followed by at least 6 additional events to date. This area has previously hosted several seismic clusters of <M2.5 as well as more significant events, eg. 1885 M4.6 and 1959 M5.3 earthquakes ⚒️🧪

The palm-lined trace of the San Andreas Fault near Indio, CA. In the distance is Pushawalla Canyon. North America is to the left; Pacific Plate to the right. Fault gouge produced due to the grinding action of the fault acts as a vertical barrier to groundwater flow; that's why the palms grow here.

A tan desert landscape, with low hills on the left, and a line of palm trees at the base of the hills leading off into the distance.

Time for a comic for #ArtAdventCalendar#geology#geoscience#SciArt comic fans

A four panel comic. The first panel shows colourful bumper cars - blue, green, red, and yellow - packed tightly together, text reads 'Plate tectonics are like bumper cars, packed tightly together'. The second panel shows the cars with arrows showing their relative movements in different directions, text reads 'They very slowly drift around, grinding past each other...' The third panel shows a side-on view of one blue car driving up over a yellow car sinking down into the ground, white arrows indicating their movements, text reads 'Then one will sink down into the ground, and another will drive up over it...' The fourth panel shows a person with wavy brown hair wearing a green shirt saying '...and that analogy quickly fell apart' and a second person with short, spiky brown hair wearing a pale green-yellow shirt responding 'What? It was just getting interesting!
