  • 🌍🛰️ The countdown is on, just one week until the launch of #NISAR, a joint NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite mission that will revolutionize global studies of Earth's surface. EarthScope is proud to have helped organize and support the geodetic community as this mission was planned. Curious how we use satellites to study Earth? Learn more about InSAR ⬇️ https://loom.ly/XFSYdY8

    • Infographic explaining how InSAR detects landscape changes by comparing two radar satellite passes—before and after surface deformation. A radar signal is emitted and reflected from the ground during each pass; changes in signal phase between passes reveal ground movement. Background and bottom border show rainbow-colored interferograms.
  • Do you work with or train young geodesists? Have you been thinking about the role geodesy plays in current and future sectors? Consider submitting an abstract to this AGU session ⬇️

    Please consider submitting an abstract for AGU25 session G001: 21st Century Geodesy: Growing the Field by Highlighting Contributions and Careers in the Service of Society. We are seeking creative ideas on rebranding geodesy around emerging societal contributions and attractive career paths, exploring geodesy skills required by current and future commercial, academic, non-profit, and government applications, and highlighting how academic institutions can best support associated training. First authors submitting to this session may submit a second abstract to another Geodesy session because G001 is co-organized with the Education section. Session link: https://lnkd.in/eK6bh9cn Submission deadline: July 30, 2025 Session description: G001. 21st Century Geodesy: Growing the Field by Highlighting Contributions and Careers in the Service of Society Geodesy underpins modern geospatial science and technology, enabling numerous applications ranging from Earth and space exploration, to climate change resilience, to navigation and communications, to global security. Geodesy can be leveraged for near-future applications involving autonomous vehicles, digital twins, and other technologies that super-charge the economy and better ensure safety of life and property. However, attracting and training a robust and skilled workforce in this field presents ongoing challenges. This session seeks abstracts that demonstrate the role that geodesy plays within current and future commercial, academic, non-profit, and government applications that drive economic vitality, safety, and other societal benefits. We also seek creative ideas on rebranding geodesy around these contributions and career paths to enhance the perception of the field by students and those in positions to effect policy and funding decisions. Submissions exploring geodesy skills required by various sectors and how academic institutions can address these are also encouraged.

  • Large earthquakes are sometimes spaced months apart, other times, they come in quick succession. Today, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. At the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, the Pacific Plate subducts beneath the Okhotsk Plate, producing frequent moderate to large earthquakes.

    • Map of the northwest Pacific region showing the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone. Tectonic plates are labeled: Pacific Plate to the southeast, Okhotsk Plate to the northwest, and North American Plate to the northeast. A white star marks the location of a magnitude 7.4 earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula. Colored dots represent past earthquakes by depth, transitioning from purple (shallow) to red (deep). Plate boundaries and major faults are outlined in black lines.
  • At Mono Craters, CA, where volcanic activity shaped a surreal landscape of obsidian domes and pumice plains, a GPS station quietly collects data 24/7. But battery life? That’s another story. To keep the data flowing, our team loaded up fresh batteries (and some carrots) and headed in on horseback. #fieldworkfriday 📸: Brendan Hodge/EarthScope

    • Several horses and mules, alongside dismounted riders, stand next to solar panels on a rocky hill with short shrubs.

    • Two horse riders head down a trail with two pack mules in between.
  • Students in the Seismology Skill Building Workshop (SSBW) recently used the Interactive Earthquake Browser to find their birthquake—the largest earthquake that occurred on your birthdate. Sarah Q. had the largest magnitude birthquake, a magnitude 7.4 in the Izu Islands, Japan on March 6, 1984. Explore earthquake activity on your birthday 🎁 https://loom.ly/jjk2yqw (Born before 1970?
