Really interesting paper on a Mw 4.6 earthquake in Greece that caused InSAR detectable surface deformation. Tiny earthquakes packing a punch! Beats the Aus record of Mw 4.7 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Time to quit that list? It’s been horrendous for years. Is there enough good stuff there between the horror shows?

Experts in a field use jargon to communicate complex ideas concisely to other experts. However, when we're speaking to people outside of our very small and specific subject area, jargon can become a barrier to communication rather than a bridge.(images from AGU Sharing Science)

A picture of a puppy. Underneath it says bolt when people hear that word, they don’t think of a fracture along which rocks have moved.
Driver when most people hear the word, they don’t think of an influential factor
Two people having drinks underneath it says dating when most people are that word, they don’t think of determining the age of a site artifact

Lots of people know that prehistoric sea turtles got big, but it can be easy to underestimate just how huge these things got. The largest verified specimen of a modern Leatherback turtle weighed in at 1,433 lbs, but this Archelon would have been closer to 11,300 lbs. #scicomm#paleosky#paleontology

Happy birthday to mathematician & geodesist Gladys West (née Brown in 1930)! 🐡🧪🧑🏾‍🔬 #🧮#histsci Shown with satellite tracks & 3 satellites important to her career: Seasat, GEOS-3 & a GPS satellite. Her work, using math to precisely model the shape of Earth, laid the groundwork for GPS! 🧵1/n
