Testimonies to the EMSC describe the earthquake as a "decent little jolt".

And mostly, thanks to our readers for showing us that someone cares! It makes a real difference. I believe that we can foster a culture where more people understand how earthquakes work, what makes them interesting, and how to manage risks. Science is under attack. This is how we fight back.

If you can't afford the published rate, let us know what you can pay - we don't want finances to be a barrier to learning. We'll work something out.

If you are a student or researcher at a university, ask the department if they could fund a group subscription. Universities have budgets for this kind of thing (and we offer group discounts).

We started with the goal of making a difference, and I think we are: >8600 subscribers, mentions in major news sites, and grateful messages from people, from teachers to journalists to people feeling shaking.

Help us keep growing our impact by subscribing.

If they’re looking at tsunami warning systems, we can talk hours of warning time. For earthquakes, realistic warning times are tens of seconds! I wish the project didn’t present false science about earthquakes to teach this lesson.

I love these!

These cuts represent both an immediate loss (the science) and a permanent one (the researchers who leave). In some cases, data collection was cut short, meaning that earlier work was wasted.

At Earthquake Insights, Kyle and I were part of a project to study the resilience of communities to compounding natural disasters. That, too, was a casualty of this administration's cuts to funding.
