Blue hour by the eruption tonight (26th August) #iceland #volcano

California Geological Survey's Sr. Engineering Geologist Brian Olson recently spoke to a full house Earthquake Country Alliance's SoCal meeting in Chino on the #Ridgecrest science response & presented useful findings from both CGS & USGS Earthquakes. conservation.ca.gov/cgs/sh

How do fluids and fault heterogeneities affect earthquake rupture and ground shaking? Our paper on the Noto earthquake provides some information that could be useful in untangling the mystery (Ma et al. on this Science cover science.org/doi/abs/10.112…).

No place on Earth is stationary, and the most powerful tool we have for measuring ongoing, large-scale tectonic motions is GPS. This poster shows tectonic motion measured by GPS stations in the Network of the Americas. Download full poster: loom.ly/gglPpys

Elevated fire weather conditions will be ongoing, focused on the interior through Sat due to breezy winds and dry conditions. Temps are trending warmer into next week which will keep elevated fire weather conditions in the region. #socal #cawx #FireWX

Temperatures are warming up for Labor Day into next week, with heat peaking Wed-Fri (9/6) as high pressure builds over the area. There's a window of solutions, which we will narrow down once it gets closer. These are the current most likely and worst case scenarios. #laheat #CAwx

NEW: Gold is found as big nuggets in quartz veins—and we have never known why. Now we have a shocking answer: electricity, made by earthquakes shaking quartz, is gathering particles of gold and growing them into shiny nuggets. Earth is wild.

Here’s the time-lapse I promised you from yesterday’s solar activity. Complete with Earth to scale and a bonus of the sun’s rotation. This is easily one of my cleanest time-lapses I’ve managed over such a long period. Enjoy!

Temps peak Wed-Fri this week, bringing moderate to high heat impacts. The homeless, elderly, children, and those with health issues are at the highest risk for heat illness. Daytime highs between 95 to 105 will become common away from the coast. #CAwx #LAheat

The US is one of Earth’s most volcanically active countries. The downstream & downwind threats drive #USGS’ need to decipher eruptive behavior, monitor current activity & talk with the public, to mitigate damaging effects of these forces of nature. #NPM2024 #StartAConversation

Post-quake mobilization and response is vital when preparing for the next #earthquake. SCEC and its partners learn from earthquakes to prepare for the next ones. See how and more at SCEC.org/prepare.
