“🔍 For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time.
Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
During a research expedition in the Indian Ocean, scientists had just deployed a suite of instruments when a series of earthquakes triggered a seafloor spreading event, allowing them to observe the process as it unfolded.
The findings offer rare new insights into how new oceanic crust forms and how the seafloor continues to evolve…”

“Earth’s outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. It’s broken into giant chunks called tectonic plates that pull apart, push against or slide past one another, creating grand geologic features.
Underwater mountain ranges, or mid-ocean ridges, for instance, generally take shape where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Magma can then bubble up in between, solidifying and turning into new oceanic crust as part of a process called seafloor spreading. Although the phenomenon has created entire ocean basins, it remains quite mysterious because it happens so deep in the water.
Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this dynamic activity happening in real time. They describe their findings - and their stroke of luck - in a study [link above], shedding light on a mechanism that made roughly two-thirds of Earth’s crust…”

2/n…there is something else totally unrelated to that last but even more bizarre. I’ve seen several papers over the course of two weeks now involving recent #Earthquakes, #Seismicity interactions, #Volcanism and plate boundaries, two of which involve having to lift one’s jaw off the floor. These are not simulations or predictions . They are papers on data, measurements and observations post the recent events they refer to in #Japan, the #Philippines and elsewhere. Taken together they point to…

Study reveals that Io’s thermal emission may be up to ten times higher than previous estimates, requiring an urgent revision of the data.

1/2 Keep an Eye and a Half on The Planet Dept : #SpaceWeather, #Seismicity, #Volcanism, #WeatherExtrema, #TidalExtrema.
We are primed for unusual coinciding strangeness. That sounds about as far from a scientific statement as you can make.
The danger is that with all the other ongoing geopolitical drama and noise we miss opportunities where otherwise we’d have gotten people out of the way. Adults need to be minding the store. Even if that rules out the #US entirely at this point… -

The #MassifCentral is home to volcanic systems such as the Chaîne des Puys and the Monts-Dore, whose last #eruptions date back less than 10,000 years. They are still potentially active. Monitoring them is therefore essential.
For this reason, staff from @isterre_fr, the LMV, the GET Laboratory, and IRAP, recently deployed a network of 624 sensors over an area of 80 x 100 km². This device aims to record ground movements up to a depth of 10 km : https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2025/11/maciv-nodes-an-exceptional-seismological-network-on-the-volcanoes-of-the-massif-central/

The #Volcanic Isles . A brief history of volcanism across The British Isles.
Quite pleased with how this one turned out.
Location of volcanoes taken from wikipedia (spotted a mistake and got to make an edit to wikipedia in the process); fault lines from the #BGS 625k bedrock dataset and the IE GSI 500k Bedrock Geology for Ireland. Font: League-Spartan by the League of Moveable Type.
#requests, #pandas and #geopandas for scraping and wrangling.#scipy for making the proximity surface (that's the colour scheme), #matplotlib for plotting. With all labeling done manually in #inkscape.
EDIT: I've been kindly and helpfully informed that (a) Ben Nevis' age is closer to 399 Ma; (b) some are missing; (c) others perhaps shouldn't be there; (d) it's complicated. So, maybe don't use this map to make any strategic decisions.

🌋 Io: A volcanic world in Jupiter’s grasp
Sculpted by gravity and painted in sulfur, Io is a volcanic world of mountains and storms; its heart beats with tidal fire. It is the most active body in our Solar System, reshaped endlessly by eruptions and Jupiter’s pull.
✍️ Explore the full article here: https://TPC8.short.gy/euoVEw7N
Every eruption tells a story of fire, gravity, and the science that reshapes worlds.

Vista desde Kagoshima. Tras 35 años de descanso, el volcán Sakurajima se despertó el 12 de enero de 1914 con la erupción Taisho, la de mayor intensidad y magnitud de Japón en el siglo XX. Su actividad, que duró hasta abril, absorbió pequeñas islas cercanas y unió a su propia isla con la península de Ōsumi. #vulcanismo #volcanism

I have noticed. This is why I say that Mother Nature will solve the problem by killing every Homo sapien.
It is just a matter of time.

Si cayeras con fuerza en un volcán en erupción, no te zambullirías como en una piscina, pero tampoco te asarías tranquilamente vuelta y vuelta. Tendrías una muerte movidita, con los huesos rotos y cubierto de roca fundida. 👇Aquí se tira basura en el volcán Erta Ale. #vulcanismo #volcanism

It is too late now. It will take millions of years and no one will be around anyway. Sorry to say, but that is how I see it. Mother Nature does not care.

Mother Nature: You fucked around and you are going to find out. It usually takes me millions of years to make adjustments. But I may make an exception in this situation.
