Our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi has just been published #OpenAccess in @RAS_Journals #GJI Our results imply significant changes to previous seismic hazard maps in Malawi, and underly the importance of using geologic and geodetic data in PSHA🧵1/6

Before everyone leaves Twitter, check out our new model for estimating the magnitude and frequency of #earthquakes along Malawi's active faults👇. Includes some neat comparisons between fault slip rates measured over 75 ka and when inferred from geodesy🧐 1/4

When you ask the authors of articles in Science® to share their data, which the journal told you was mandatory when you submitted your article, the response very often boils down to GFY. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1708290…

Testimonials read out by precarious staff @Bristol_UCU rally resonated deeply, having spent 16 yrs(!) as a casual university researcher. All staff on permanent contracts must avoid feeding the short term labour mill #rethinkshortresearchcontracting we CAN do it differently👇
