The sun rises early over Leeds on the longest day of the year as we set off from the train station towards Vienna for ESA’s Living Planet Symposium #lps25 🌞🌞
The coming week, I (Stijn Vleugels, Uni of Leeds) will be taking over the COMET socials to give you a firsthand experience of the conference!

Apparently surface rupture during the Myanmar 2025. I'm very surprised by the weak shaking along the rupture. I'm not sure if this is the main rupture (I would say no - nonetheless, VERY COOL). Author unknown, location Thazi (to be confirmed)

Welcome to @bsky.app @uk-comet.bsky.social
Last night satellite #Sentinel1C launched into space! It will join its sibling to restore the Sentinel-1 constellation, gathering more frequent, global, accurate data to monitor changes on the Earth's surface. It will aid COMET research into #volcanoes🌋and #earthquakes🌎 and support event response.

Okay, I couldn't resist. So I created a geodesy starter pack. We are very little in number here on bluesky so if you are doing anything related to geodesy, lmk! Also I'm 100% sure that I missed some people who are already here, just drop a reply to remind me :)
