New StoryMap describing the 2/6/23 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, Earthquakes - arcg.is/0f1fra. USGS USGS_Quakes

Updated finite fault models for #Türkiye M7.8 & M7.5 EQs now constrained by seismic & geodetic data ow.ly/sErU50MSoc8, ow.ly/vlKS50MSvft. Fault geometries from surface rupture mapping of satellite images & radar pixel tracking.
More on FFMs: ow.ly/8po950MSoc7

Animated map of seismicity near Turkey quakes starting ~3am local time plotting Feb 6 M7.8 mainshock (pink), early aftershocks (orange), M7.5 aftershock to the north (tan), and subsequent aftershocks in the north (tan). Time vs. magnitude progression shown on bottom graph.

🚨Job alert! The USGS Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory in New Mexico is seeking an experienced network seismologist to oversee the USGS’s seismic monitoring enterprise.

📣new paper📣 Precipitation rate is a major control on the observed decay in preservation of large, cumulative offsets on strike-slip faults Yann Klinger Rich Briggs Ryan Gold & I explore at doi.org/10.1130/G50393…

Because we all use offset markers in active tectonics studies it is critical to understand what is controling their formation and preservation.
Check out the new paper by N. Reitmann et al. about offsets along strike-slip faults

Student Pathways summer internships are available at the Geologic Hazards Science Center in Golden, CO. Earthquakes, landslides, geomag and IT projects. Apply starting Feb 1 at 10pm MTN. More info: ow.ly/QGZq50HInli

Real-time GPS/GNSS is becoming a valuable data source for rapid earthquake characterization. Learn more about how it works and what we can do with it in my new paper with Dr. Kirstie Haynie out now in SRL:

New paper! 'Portable optically stimulated luminescence age map of a paleoseismic exposure' w/ Ryan Gold @SpicyFeldspar & Sylvia Nicovich. High-density sampling yields insight into spatial age trends, sedimentary/pedogenic processes, and earthquake timing. doi.org/10.1130/G49472…

Major new advance in dating paleo earthquakes demonstrated on our very own Wasatch fault:

M6.6 Jinchang, China finite fault (with InSAR!) is now available: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ev…

This is the first joint telseismic + InSAR finite fault from our team. Expect more #InSAR in the future!

The USGS is accepting applications for postdoctoral research in our Mendenhall fellowship program. Opportunities 17 through 30 relate to earthquakes with USGS_quakes. Read through & contact advisors! Deadline is January 6, 2022!

Ok, I might be a bit biased but what a cover 😊
BSSA issue of October with Ridgecrest earthquake optical correlation on cover

👏 to S. Antoine for her 1st paper now in-press in BSSA! High-res. optical correlation for #Ridgecrest #earthquake reveals diffuse deformation and detailed rupture patterns. Preprint here: ipgp.fr/~klinger/web_Y…

Updated finite fault from Dr. Dara Goldberg at the USGS. Now showing unilateral rupture in agreement with InSAR. Seems pretty compact for an M7.2! #haitiearthquake
