With many thousands of scientists on here now the "Science" feed is also a bit too general for many users. There are more specific feeds too, like @earth-science.bsky.social . Anyone know of an oceanography one yet?

Geologist Bsky is watching the latest volcanic eruption on Iceland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXD4... The town of Grindavik has been evacuated as the lava is very close in this eruption, and it doesn't look good.

It’s the 30th birthday of Citcom - the predecessor of @underworldcode.org Lots of fun news coming about our latest projects but some retrospectives first. Open source tectonic / geodynamics modeling software ⚒️🧪 - this really was not a thing until Citcom came along and helped build our community.

⚒️🧪 Hey L.A.! Did you feel that M4.3 earthquake offshore from Palos Verdes this morning? If you did, why not start 2024 with some citizen science and tell the USGS what it was like where you are! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

🧪 ⚒️ A M7.5 earthquake struck western Japan today, collapsing buildings & triggering a tsunami. Most large earthquakes occur with no warning, but this fault has been noisy for over 3 years: an evolving swarms and a M6.2 in May. And now a M7.5! earthquakeinsights.substack.com/p/m75-earthq...

@earth-science.bsky.social Got my shiny copy of the paper I co-wrote with the amazing Prof. Ann Pearson, out in this months issue of Geology. Ammonium “nutrient capacitor” model for δ15N signatures associated with marine anoxic events Check it out! pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/...

I've made a feed ... so you can read ALL the #AGU23 tagged posts regardless of whether they have ⚒️or other geo-triggers. No need to be a member of the earth-scientists feed to use this but please consider sticking around after AGU !

A rising trend in the world is renewable energy threatening the economics of coal plants, forcing them into early retirement. Cashing in on stuff-that's-going-to-happen-anyway is the speciality of carbon offset traders. So: they're interested www.businesstimes.com.sg/esg/singapor...
