Some coverage from the BBC on our Santorini swarm paper in Science (www.science.org/doi/full/10....). Features an interactive slider graphic showing the imaged magma dike intrusion using @alomaxnet.bsky.social's Coulomb-based seismicity-stress (CoulSeS) method.

This could be usable, if they uploaded the response of the implants in the IRIS Nominal Response Library.

New! We study the disruptive 2025 earthquake unrest near #Santorini using machine-learning derived seismicity as virtual stress meters at depth. We show the unrest was due to a magma dike intrusion, imaging in detail a complex, rebounding process of dike propagation.

The 2025 Santorini unrest unveiled: Rebounding magmatic dike intrusion with triggered seismicity
Magmatic intrusion in Earth’s crust can lead to hazardous volcanic eruptions, but the physical processes involved remain largely hidden from direct observation. We used machine learning–derived seismi...

How people react to uncertainty has far-reaching socio-political consequences: A new ETH Zurich study found that people who perceive uncertainty as an opportunity are less likely to vote for right-wing populists.

The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.
