The Open access movement: Why OA? In case you haven't watched Christie Rowe's SCEC talk, it is a great jumping point into the OA movement and to Seismica's why and how: youtu.be/K5UVUVt9GAM?t=… #OAWeek2022 #DiamondOpenAccess

📢Are you working on rock microstructures and texture analyses? Do you study brittle and/or ductile conditions and aim to constrain deformation mechanisms? Please consider submitting an abstract to #EGU23 session TS1.5 in Vienna (April 23rd – 28th) meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/session/…

The Structural Geology & Tectonics @ ETH Zurich group was well represented at #AGU22 this year! Was wonderful watching these smiley, goofy, serious people present our latest research! Thanks to everyone who dropped by our posters/talks! Betti Hegyi Derek Neuharth Vénice Akker Lonnie Hufford Leif Tokle AGUTectonophysics

A swarm of earthquakes has rattled under the town of Pahala, Hawaii, for decades, surging to hundreds of quakes a week in 2019. Now scientists finally pinned down the source & mapped the island's underbelly. And he data are just WOW. My latest @natgeo nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

This is hilarious. Aldi created an Amazon-like “grab and go, zero staff” store in the Netherlands. Except no customers enter b/c to do so, you need to register *with a credit card*. The majority of the population in the Netherlands doesn’t have a credit card! They have debit.

Watch this, and tell me you did not feel something. Football fans in Turkey throw toys down on the field to collect for the children in the earthquake zone. Such a beautiful and heartwrenching scene of love. Such big hearts.

Simply incredible.

The Structural Geology & Tectonics @ ETH Zurich group is very active at #EGU2023 this year! Here's our full lineup of presentations: structuretectonics.org/2023/04/17/sgt… We hope you'll drop by our talks and posters as we'd welcome feedback! We'll tweet more details as the week progresses.

In #Switzerland, a very large, incipient rockslide has triggered the evacuation of the village of #Brienz (Brinzauls):- blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/…

New paper out on blueschist deformation experiments!!! 🚨🚨🚨 From the exps we developed a flow law and some of the first rheological constraints on diffusional properties in amphibole.

👏Congrats to 2 of our M.S. students who gave excellent thesis presentations this morning! Nora Schweizer working with Claudio Madonna and Markus Rast on the COSC-II drill core in Sweden & Dominic Hildebrandt (he/him) working with Whitney Behr, Jesus Muñoz-Montecinos and Leif Tokle on Syros island in Greece!

I'm so excited to share with you "Viewing the Rock World", an outreach project based on a 3D-printable thin section viewer that anyone can make! Looking for teachers, educators, student groups, anyone interested in participating! Check out matthewtarling.github.io/outreach/ for more info.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion [📹 The Curiosity Show]

Vision Pro isn't just great, it's the single greatest piece of tech ive ever used

Strongest aurora in 20 years this evening. This is the astounding view as far south as Switzerland a short while ago …on top of Jungfraujoch 😍😍 via Jungfrau.ch

Just started my very own YouTube channel!! If you wanna see how I grow my pet crystals, check it out :) youtube.com/channel/UCbLvU…

Our research group (Structural Geology & Tectonics @ ETH Zurich) is advertising 2 PhD positions to start Summer or Fall 2025-- pass this along if you know of interested applicants!

I'm currently working on massive panoramas of our skies. They're more work than traditional astrophotography images, and are forcing me to learn a lot about the craft. Here's a small segment of one of them, showing the neighboring Andromeda galaxy. The color is 100% accurate.

📣New paper out!🔔 We quantify deep/viscous subduction interface rheology by integrating field observations, numerical models, and experimental flow laws. This provides us new insights into viscosity and strength variations along subduction zones. 1/3 researchgate.net/publication/38…
