Earthquakes are unpredictable, so we study how they manifest in our surroundings to understand their nature and, most especially, to help improve society's resilience against them. #IAmAGeoscientist who looks for evidence of EQs past and present. #EarthDay18 📷from 🇵🇭 & 🇰🇬

In time for creepy season. Further improving our understanding of the slip mechanics of the Philippine Fault in Leyte 👏👏🤓

The southern Philippines, including Mindanao, is the most seismically active part of the country. The reason mainly is geology and tectonics-- fast convergence rate and many tectonic structures (onshore, offshore, and a very deep subducted plate). #EarthquakePh #LinogPH

A chemical spill was confirmed at San Pedro College in Davao City following the magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck off Davao Oriental on Friday, October 10. The Bureau of Fire Protection’s Special Rescue Force deploys personnel to contain the spill and ensure public safety. Photos from Bureau of Fire Protection

READ: As a result of the strong earthquake this morning, @UPMindanao has advised a shift to asynchornous mode for classes and work from home arrangements until October 13, Monday. Please read the advisory in full here: facebook.com/UPMindanao/pos…

WATCH: Fire broke out inside a mall in Consolacion town, northern Cebu after a 6.7-magnitude earthquake rocked the island province on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Fortunately, the fire was quickly put out. #CDNDigital 🎥: Contributed

Five people have been confirmed dead in San Remigio following the 6.9-magnitude earthquake, according to the San Remigio Municipal Police Station. The casualties include one BFP personnel, three PCG personnel, and one child. Authorities reported that the BFP and PCG personnel died when a local complex collapsed due to the earthquake. As of this report, two additional individuals remain unaccounted for, one inside the collapsed complex and another in Barangay Poblacion. In Bogo City, there are already 13 confirmed deaths. | via DPP/The Freeman

KEEP SAFE 🙏 WATCH: Situation at the Colon Night Market in Cebu City following the magnitude 6.7 earthquake on Tuesday night. Intensity VI was recorded in Cebu City, while the epicenter was located 17 kilometers northeast of Bogo City, according to Phivolcs. Aftershocks and damage are expected. | via The Freeman

Despite having a strike-slip mechanism, the types of faults that don't usually generate large tsunamis, there have been cases of tsunamis following strike-slip earthquakes in archipelagos (e.g., 1994 Mindoro, Philippines; 2018 Palu, Indonesia) pvcmcet-swift.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/event_detail_n…

Not somewhere we've been paying as much attention to for active tectonics until recently, so this will take some unraveling as more data comes in #EarthquakePH

New paper! It's about using SAR and optical satellite remote sensing to map earthquake damage in realistic disaster response conditions: nature.com/articles/s4324… "Earthquake damage mapped more comprehensively and accurately by radar satellites than optical imagery"
