Coring the the Great Salt Lake is underway... Day 1 was a success. We hope to constrain the age of movement on faults and explore shaking proxies, ie sediment remibilzation adjacent to the scarp, using the 2020 Magna earthquake as a calibration.

What lies beneath the Great Salt Lake? Great to finally have Chirp data rolling in on this lake paleoseismology project with @DBrothersSC and @neotectonics. Profile shows debris flow/landslide near Antelope Island buried by lake sediments.

#ChamplainTowersSouth tilt time series shows a peculiar pattern. South vs north was tilting at a rate of 17.8 microrad/yr and there was a turning point in 2018, any guesses on what could cause the tilt and turning point? @virginia_tech @Sentinel1a

Good haul on day 1 of coring GSL seds! Last photo is “brine shrimp fecal pellet mud” buried by sand sourced from a lake bottom fault scarp.

Latest update to the @USGSTNM 3D Elevation Program #lidar data collection in OT: 12 datasets, inc coverage of red rock country in S UT (e.g., Grand Staircase-Escalante NM). Here's the confluence of Buckskin Gulch (left - "longest slot canyon in the 🌎") w/ the Paria River Canyon

Also in this batch of #3DEP data is a large #lidar dataset covering west-central Colorado (area around Gunnison). Below: a portion of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River gorge in @BlackCanyonNPS (left) and the Crested Butte area, inc @skicrestedbutte.

It's been such an exciting week with Perseverance's successful landing on Mars! For anyone curious about what working in mission operations for Mars rovers is like, check out our interview with @tanyaofmars here:

High to Extreme avalanche danger in northern Utah. Avoid all avalanche terrain.

Map of historical seismicity for today's M7.1 earthquake near Honshu & cross-section with projected mechanisms. M9.1 Tohoku quake is directly up-dip. Based on orientation of mechanism compared to seismicity, this quake may have occurred within subducting slab, not on interface.

50 years ago this week, one of the faults bounding L.A. ruptured in a M6.6 quake. The mountains lurched ~2 m up over the valley, teaching us some big lessons about how faults literally intersect society. It’s #FaultFriday and we’re talking about the Sierra Madre fault! 🧵

It's been a while that I haven't posted. So here is an old fat slab subduction model. This is likely a process occuring in Central Andes 35 Ma ago. #Geodynamics #Subduction #ASPECT
