🔆 The sun is out, and so is our field team! We're kicking off this season's first #FieldworkFriday with a trip down to Anchorage, where Ethan and Shah hit five different sites and met up with the rest of the team for some helicopter training! 😎 🚁 Curious how we prep for a season out and about in the field?

We have some exciting tsunami news! 🌊 FEMA has funded our newest project to bring all tsunami information to one digital space. Since 1996, we have provided tsunami information for more than 60 coastal communities, but we lacked a widely accessible digital space for this information to be shared. Now, with the help of FEMA and ArcGIS, we will be able to expand our existing evacuation zones and routes, inundation lines, maritime guidance documents and maps, pedestrian evacuation travel times, print-ready brochures, and ground subsidence maps offerings to include the ArcGIS files to FEMA and other governmental agencies, our coastal communities emergency officials, and the general public. 🗺️ We are excited to get started on this project and will be back with more updates as it progresses!

Having too much fun at #SSA2024.

Thank you @csbelliott for a great job writing about our work with Alaska coastal communities. undark.org/2023/11/27/alaska…

ShakeOut exercise. I just happened to be at the Emergency Operations Center in Anchorage, in the middle of my tsunami hazard map presentation. With Amanda Loach, director of EOC.

Next week @Barrett_AK_EQs and I will be talking to the public and first responders in Hope, Girdwood, Anchorage and Mat-Su about tsunami hazards in Upper Cook Inlet. It feels great to be able to contribute to public education in the land of great earthquakes and tsunamis.

In history: Norway, 13 September 1936 ~1,000,000 m3 landslide off Mount Ramnefjell fell into Loenvatnet Lake generating a 70 m tsunami that killed 74 people. This occurred 31 years after a similar incident and led to near total abandonment of the area #landslidetsunamis

Our Anchorage tsunami mapping study was featured today in the @ScienceMagazine. Thank you @csbelliott for your excellent work! Thanks to my co-authors on the tsunami study, @Barrett_AK_EQs and Dmitry Nicolsky. It was a team work. science.org/content/article/…

Thank you @patton_cascadia for the great lecture about Cascadia earthquakes!

My favorite crowd, the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation group. Last week, on one of the beaches in the Cascadia subduction zone.

#EarthquakeReport for M7.7 #Earthquake offshore of #NewCaledonia #LoyaltyIslands Looks like maybe outer rise tensional event No tsunami threat in coast of USA Possible tsunami in Vanuatu Fiji New Caledonia Read abt regional tectonics in earlier report earthquake.usgs.gov/earthqua…

All of my fellow Alaskans and West Coasters who are frustrated by a cold winter or spring: totally valid. I get it. But don’t forget to also pay attention to what is going on outside your little part of the globe!

Great news, I now have a new website to go alongside my new book about #ancienttsunamis. Very pleased with how it all looks #thetsunamiprof #newwebsite. Please check it out and let me know what you think profjamesgoff.co.uk
