Earthquake prediction is so often related to "when" question that we might be missing a better one: how big can it be? can we predict it? On the long way to answers, physics-based models empowered with AI look like the best companion. #AGU23 poster t.ly/PdWGg 🤓

The M6.2 earthquake that struck the Marmara Fault near Istanbul was felt by a city of nearly 16 million people. The fault itself lies 15 km south of the city--unlike the fault that ruptured in last month's Myanmar earthquake. temblor.net/earthquake-ins…

To our friends and users in Western Turkey, the number of aftershocks following the M6.2 earthquake (#deprem) is high, a dozen have been felt in the last 70 minutes or so. Please be sure to follow the instructions of your national authorities (AFAD, KOERI...). If your building has suffered some cracks, do not go back in without having it checked first. Stay safe, our thoughts are with you🙏

Newly available high-resolution satellite imagery collected by Maxar reveals sections of the surface rupture near the zone of maximum surface displacement of last week’s Mw 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar. Rupture is ~500 km long, with up to 5 meters of fault slip.

#MyanmarEarthquake may be a long supershear event (~5 km/s, ~350 km rupture), evidenced by S wave arrivals on the strong motion data, which explains strong shaking felt far away. Supershear amplifies damage, calls for urgent rescue needs & infrastructure strengthening.

This video illustrates the ground displacement along the fault. The fault is below the railway line. During the earthquake, the blocks separated by the fault moved horizontally, and the deformation of the tracks is a measure of the horizontal slip that occurred during the earthquake.

The earthquake in Burma caused significant destruction in Mandalay. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #earthquake1stwin

Not sure if this is associated to Mandalay earthquake, but here it goes...

A major M7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar 30 minutes ago. The epicentre is a few dozen kilometres from Mandalay, a city of about 1.5 million people. At this distance, significant damage is generally observed. This will have to be confirmed on the basis of information from the region. Our thoughts are with those affected.🙏

@NASA Powerful Santa Ana winds and a lack of rain created “critical” fire weather conditions in Southern California, according to the @NWS, contributing to the rapid spread of the fires. go.nasa.gov/3PrDZcA

Satellite heat detection of the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire exploding in size across Southern California today. Just devastating.

It's for 6 months in Marseille with close links to Lyon/Paris/Nice. Not limited to engineering students. If you're interested, contact me with your CV, and feel free to spread the word!

News alert! I'm moving from underground to superstructures. Setting anchor in #Marseille ⛵️, I'll continue my career in nuclear structural engineering at @egis. Hoping to bridge the two worlds, I happily announce our 1st internship opportunity👇Details at bit.ly/4gF3Fhk

@JudithGeology Thank you very much 🙏

@elifo_alpha Thanks for your response! Yes, modeling is an important aspect understanding what’s going on; your work sounds exciting.

@JudithGeology The subliminal message in the poster: if we can well quantify the limits of what we know, we can better spot what we don’t know in the observations :)

@JudithGeology - Computational and observational studies will always be complementary. We can profit from the advances in each side to advance our exploratory efforts, which this preliminary study attempts to. ++
