…The #earthquake was the biggest to hit #Morocco in 120yrs, toppling bldgs & walls in ancient cities made from stone & masonry not designed to withstand quakes.

“…where destructive earthquakes are #rare, bldgs are simply not constructed…to cope…, so many collapse resulting in high #casualties. …expect the final death toll to climb to thousands…. #aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further #casualties & hinder #SearchAndRescue,” Bill McGuire, prof of #geophysical & #Climate #Hazards UCL.

Our paper "Tracking #aftershock sequences using empirical matched field processing" is now published (in untypeset form) in #Geophysical Journal International and available for download on

#MacroPhotography is also an interest of Fox (the #photographer). #Minerals and #crystals are especially interesting as subjects, both because of their properties and how their shape and viewing angle reacts with light, but also because of the #geophysical and #geochemical forces that produced them.
In this #photo, you can see a partial #termination (crystal point) of an #amethyst (#quartz/#SiO2/#silicondioxide which often contains inclusions of #iron in the crystal).
#Forcedperspective is also an interesting aspect of macro photography.

#Seismic travel times suggest that "#innercore rotation has recently paused. This seems to be associated with gradual turning-back of inner core as part of ~7 decade oscillation, which coincides with changes in several other #geophysical observations."

Magnetic declination and finding the moon
[the_ad id="30587"]

Dan Joling of Anchorage was set to photograph the full moon rising over the Port of Anchorage on Jan. 6, 2023. His research told him the moon would pop over the horizon at a certain number of degrees from north. Guided by the compass feature on his iPhone, Joling aimed his camera that way.

He...

For #SunsetSunday, a flashback to a lovely evening during a #LongValleyCaldera #field trip, when we rented this amazing house, ran #geophysical experiments all day and spent the evenings analyzing and plotting the data (and staring at sunsets).
