Did you feel the quake #GEOS2111? I'll give a run-down of this event in our lectorial in Week 7.
An earthquake occurred in Northern NSW a few minutes ago. Preliminary magnitude is 4.6. Location is south of Muswellbrook, near Lake Liddell.

Space weather is on the agenda in Week 10 in #GEOS2111
We’re in the middle of an intense geomagnetic storm! 🌎🧲💥 A series of solar eruptions arriving at Earth are triggering widespread auroras. Here’s what NASA space weather analyst Carina Alden saw last night as she traveled through Michigan and Wisconsin!

We'll learn about Australia's intraplate earthquakes in a few weeks in #GEOS2111. Australia isn't as seismically quiet as you might think!
The magnitude 4.1 near Woods Point VIC was the first M4 earthquake in four months in our map/coverage area, and was felt in Melbourne. A magnitude 2.8 southwest of Mount Mary SA, and a 2.5 mine-related event near Bendigo VIC round out last week's top 3 earthquakes.

#GEOS2111 - we will explore earthquakes in Week 7 and will discuss this event in our lectorial.
BREAKING: The Meteorological Agency has issued an alert warning about a possible large earthquake around the Nankai Trough – the first ever such alert – following a magnitude 7.1 quake that struck earlier in the day off the coast of Kyushu. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/0…

My kids absolutely love #MapMen and were chuffed to see their mum appear in one of the episodes! To read more about the phantom Sandy Island, check out our @AGU_Eos article from a few years back @EarthByteGroup @sydneyunigeo agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

New episode of #MapMen with me and @markcooperjones Why did Google Maps have a big black smudge before 2012? And why did it disappear? And what does it have to do with Captain Cook? And what is a phantom island? Share and enjoy! 🗺️ youtu.be/PVemGumEEgo?si=P-5w…

A timely thread that I'll mention at the @sydneyunigeo HDR writing retreat tomorrow
I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).
