InSAR data (thanks Adriano Nobile) of the first part of the Iceland intrusion (until 6 July) shows a linear deformation signal between Keilir & Litli-Hrútur (from arrow), indicating movement of a fracture that the magma appears to have used as pathway to the surface yesterday

And the coherence on Askja is back. Still ~30 cm of uplift between Septeber 2022 and July 2023. Amazing 🤩

Visiting an isolated island GPS station we installed in North Iceland in 2018 and has run without hiccups. This major puffin colony has thousands of small nesting holes on the surface, making it hard to walk around. The puffins are mostly gone in mid-August.

Great to be in Leeds for the #ESAFRINGE23 workhop. Here Jihong Liu is presenting his DetrendInSAR method

Congratulations to Dr. Xing Li after successfully defending her Ph.D. thesis. Thanks to Martin Mai, Aboud Afifi and Marie-Pierre Doin for serving on the examination committee KAUST PSE

Had productive meetings with scientists at NRIAG in Egypt along with @LauraParisi_Sci. Great to start the day with this breakfast view!

Congrats. to Rémi Matrau on defending his Ph.D. Thesis, here pictured with me and co-advisor Yann Klinger - thanks to KAUST Profs. Martin Mai, Aboud Afifi and Gregory De Pascale (Univ. Iceland) for serving on the defense committee KAUST PSE

Former MS student Nicolas Castro Perdomo (now PhD student at Univ. Indiana) at #AGU23 presenting our soon-to-be-published study on interseismic deformation along the Dead Sea fault using burst-overlap interferometry by Ph.D student Xing Li et al.

This was the view yesterday morning from our living room window in Iceland. Tragic to see houses consumed by lava later that day, but the good news this morning is much reduced eruptive activity.

Fieldwork near Gulf of Aqaba in NEOM

Excited about our new Science Adv. paper on burst-overlap interferometry along the entire Dead Sea fault (DSF), settling slip rate debates on the northern DSF: it moves slower than the rest of the DSF, good news for western Syria. Congrats to Xing Li! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congrats to former student Renier Viltres on having one of the 10 most cited papers in Tectonics published in 2022-2023. doi.org/10.1029/2021TC… #TopCitedArticle

Excellent #EGU24 conference in Vienna last week! Great talks, many interesting posters, fun social activities with friends and colleagues, an award to Yann Klinger, successful CDI presentations - I already look forward to #EGU25!

"Fewer major earthquakes for the northern Dead Sea Fault" - #KAUST Discovery Magazine just highlighted Xing Li's recent Science Advances paper with this piece discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/243… and a very nice graphic of the Dead Sea Fault

Driving to the Keflavík airport last friday was more exciting than usual!

Great to see our Nature Comm. paper out on off-fault damage: It extends further than previously reported, correlates with fault geometrical complexities, and has implications for slip-rate estimates from geomorphology KAUST PSE Jihong Liu Yann Klinger nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our recent Nature Communications paper on off-fault damage has been highlighted by the KAUST Disvovery magazine, see here: discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/253… Jihong Liu Yann Klinger

Great to be back at the EGU conference in Vienna! Here is Alejandra busy presenting about the most significant earthquake swarm in North Iceland in almost 50 years!
