An earthquake occurred in Northern NSW a few minutes ago. Preliminary magnitude is 4.6. Location is south of Muswellbrook, near Lake Liddell.

We’re in the middle of an intense geomagnetic storm! 🌎🧲💥 A series of solar eruptions arriving at Earth are triggering widespread auroras. Here’s what NASA space weather analyst Carina Alden saw last night as she traveled through Michigan and Wisconsin!

The magnitude 4.1 near Woods Point VIC was the first M4+ earthquake in four months in our map/coverage area, and was felt in Melbourne. A magnitude 2.8 southwest of Mount Mary SA, and a 2.5 mine-related event near Bendigo VIC round out last week's top 3 earthquakes.

BREAKING: The Meteorological Agency has issued an alert warning about a possible large earthquake around the Nankai Trough – the first ever such alert – following a magnitude 7.1 quake that struck earlier in the day off the coast of Kyushu. #Echobox=1723114085" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/0…




New episode of #MapMen with me and @markcooperjones Why did Google Maps have a big black smudge before 2012? And why did it disappear? And what does it have to do with Captain Cook? And what is a phantom island? Share and enjoy! 🗺️ youtu.be/PVemGumEEgo?si…

Research published in @Nature suggests that the movement in rivers, mountains, and oceans drives Earth's #biodiversity Dr @salles_tristan from @sydneyunigeo reveals that biodiversity evolves at similar rates to the pace of #platetectonics. Learn more bit.ly/3NaCQpa
