GSA's Geologic Time Scale v. 6.0 poster is a great addition to any geoscientist's wall. Order yours today: store.geosociety.org/Booksto… #KUGeology #KansasUniversity #GeologicTimeScale #Geoscience #GSAPubs
ALT The Geological Society of America Geologic Time Scale shows color-coded time divisions based on the rock record of Earth. Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, and Precambrian eons are subdivided into Periods, which are then subdivided into Epochs and Ages.

I can’t count how many fringes there are on the InSAR, but the center foreground boulder below is ~1m across for scale.
New satellite radar interferogram shows deformation that accompanied the June 3 Kīlauea eruption!
Data provided by @ASI_spazio and indicate extension across the SW rift zone due to dike emplacement that fed the June 3 eruption.

The Kenyan K. Beals Community Robotics Center opened in April 2022 as a joint project between @HawaiiScience and Mokupapapa Discovery Center and honors beloved @HwnElectric ohana member Kenyan Beals. Stop by with your keiki every Saturday from 10a-2p for fun STEM activities!
Not the best time to be switching servers apparently. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
935a #BigIslandOutage update: We initiating 30-minute rolling outages in parts of Hawaii Island today due to the unexpected loss of several large generators. In addition, wind resources are near zero.
Anyone else fantasizing about Samuel L. Jackson reading a bedtime story to a certain volcanic swarm going on right now? Just me?

Our recent paper on #TSR of @SeismoSocietyAm: Jiuxun Yin @jiuxun_yin uses limited but real DAS data from offshore Chile to evaluate the potential of DAS for earthquake early warning! @HuskerAllen

Real‐Data Testing of Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Offshore Earthquake Early Warning #TSR
Scientists use undersea fiber optic cables in Chile to detect offshore quakes. How can this info help earthquake early warning?

1 yr ago, Taʻū volcano started shaking residents of the Manuʻa Islands. #HVO rapidly deployed a seismic network & watched as activity eased to background levels. #HVO returns to American Samoa to maintain network & strengthen relationships. #VolcanoWatch usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/n…

Good to get out and install some new temporary stations for a passive geothermal project. Sad that this might be the last time I get to do that with Isaac Woelfel. He is off to jump into a brand new career path and we wish him all the best. If you have ever worked with ... (1/2)

I was profoundly honored to see the ground blessing ceremony led by members of the Native Hawaiian Community, whose partnership has been critical to this effort.

#43YearsAgo at #MountStHelens: May 18, 1980
Bulge fails as clossal landslides. Magma & hot fluids explode, surge outward like hot hurricane. Column rises, ash falling. Hummocky debris flow buries valley. Snowpack melts, mudflows converge. 9-hr eruption. Everything is changed.

For those that felt the earthquake, please fill out the USGS DYFI report so we can get an accurate record of the shaking. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthqua… @HawaiiNewsNow @HawaiiNews @KHONnews
