On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

In this PhD work Chris Harper investigated thin-layer stability (i.e., why a granular flow friction depends on its scale when the flow thickness is /10*characteristic diameter), which makes levees in most geophysical flows and is a process observed even in frictionless systems! #granularflows

Why using matlab sucks... no way to activate Matlab's licence, it has now been a week @matlab ; this is why I only code in python these days...

On this day in 1902, Montagne Pelée (Martinique) unleashed pyroclastic flows that killed over 28,000 people. That tragedy gripped me as a child and led me to volcanology. After more than a decade studying PDCs, I’ve received on this day my permanent faculty post at Edinburgh to continue the journey.

The seismic swarm in Greece continues - and GPS stations on Santorini show that the island itself is deforming, signaling likely movement of magma deep in the crust. In our latest post, we explore a new detailed seismic catalog and come up with a possible interpretation.

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful.
The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action.
The truth is bad enough!

A swarm of earthquakes has been rattling the Greek islands. Today marked the largest event in the swarm so far (M5.1). Schools are closed and emergency crews have deployed.
Could the swarm trigger a really big earthquake, like the M7.8 in 1956?
