Doing a bit of fun-time holiday instrument response calibration in the garage using this morning's M3.4 in Muswellbrook, NSW. We've just replaced all the geophones in our 3DLites and they're looking pretty spot on (RP)

We've managed to resurrect the "lost" data for S1.AUKSC for the Mw5.9 Mansfield earthquake. It is our nearest AUSIS site at ~117 km @ azimuth 242.5 (and looks like it may clipped the sensor??) Available now on our FDSN server: auspass.edu.au:8080

#earthquake alert! Mag 6.0 (ML) earthquake close to #Melbourne occurred a few minutes ago.

Interesting article on the state of Earth Sciences in Australia bit.ly/3ia3peW. One would think a country that relies on Earth Sciences for more than 10% of its ouput (RBA numbers 21 July 2021) there would be more input to the sectors education.

The earth shook around Lilydale in Tassie on 23/6 as local students jumped into an AuSIS (@AusisEdu) workshop with Dr Sima Mousavi (@Sima_Mousavi) from The ANU (@anuearthscience). The focus: checking in with the #NCRIS enabled #seismometer down the hall: bit.ly/3x8mRNm

The @AuScope Ocean Bottom Seismometers being put to good use! eos.org/features/deplo…

As part of our commitment to reconciliation we are working towards acknowledgements to the local first nations people in all our seismic data. Starting with the SWAN array which is located on the traditional lands of the Noongar and Kaalamaya people.

Cool job going at ANU Research School of Earth Sciences jobs.anu.edu.au/cw/en/job/5404…

42 degrees and out in the desert. Armando Arcidiaco's last trip with us into the Eyre Basin to look at #earthquakes in the area and how the basin has formed.

Mag. 3.2 (ML) #Earthquake near #Adelaide in #SouthAustralia was recorded by our #seismometer in Cummins Area School. Please check @AusPass to access the data. #ScienceTwitter #seismology @AuScope @cummins_sa @anuearthscience @EarthEdScience @IRIS_EPO #Australia

3 of the AuSIS seismometers in ACT recorded SW of Yass #earthquake in #NSW: Melrose high school @MelroseHigh, #Daramalan College #Canberra and Mount Stromlo @StromloANU . Here's how it looked across ACT stations #seismology @AuScope @anuearthscience @EarthEdScience @IRIS_EPO

Shakes of the #BeirutExplosion was felt like an #earthquake with a local magnitude of 3.3 according to @IRIS_EPO #BeirutBlast #Lebanon #seismic

During COVID-19, @MeghanSMiller and @LouisMoresi have tuned into to our sensitive @AusisEdu seismometers that are detecting far less noise and vibration produced by humans in motion — a unique opportunity to listen in on tiny earthquakes: bit.ly/30bRVxa #NCRISimpact

#RSESrockstar Malcolm Sambridge & Andy Jackson @ETH_en look at whether national Covid-19 reports of infections and deaths obeyed Benford’s law of first digits. It turns out YES they do! @nature #OurANU @scienceANU nature.com/articles/d4158…

Mag. 4.3 (ML) #Earthquake in #Burra #SouthAustralia was recorded by Our seismometer in Jamestown Community School, Marden Senior College and Murray Bridge High School. #ScienceTwitter #seismology @AuScope @ourANU @anuearthscience @EarthEdScience @IRIS_EPO #Australia

The “huge green glow” which hit the ground in north of Albany detected in AUALB station.This is one of the clearest shockwave signals of a fireball that have been recorded in our network.@FireballsSky @ABCscience @ANUmedia @AuScope @NASA #Meteorite #fireball #meteor @JoeysMedia

Thought provoking start to the second day of #sub20 with an outstanding keynote from Malcolm Sambridge #inlab #deifsp @CSIRO @anuearthscience

Malcolm wishing he had worn his cricket whites at #Sub20 optus stadium
