School's out for the summer, but our @EarthScope_sci Newtown Middle School Seismometer never sleeps: Significant #Alaska #earthquake picked up in the last two hours. M7.3, 249 mi from Unalaska, AK. Keeping an eye on possible Tsunami threats. Be safe, heed all govt warnings!
CONFIRMED TSUNAMI moving into Aleutians! ETA: Sand Point 1330 AKDT Jul 16 Cold Bay 1425 AKDT Jul 16 Kodiak 1440 AKDT Jul 16 The tsunami warning continues in Alaska. The instigating #earthquake has been upgraded to a magnitude 7.3. This is along the…

Weather Students: Read up on this excellent thread!
(1/14) Ever wonder why meteorologists always use words like "chance" and "scattered"? To understand why we often speak in this "probabilistic" space, you first need to understand a bit on how weather modeling and forecasting works, and how we forecast the weather in the...
Insane video… wait for it.
🚨🇺🇸BREAKING : RUIDOSO NEW MEXICO FACES CATASTROPHIC FLOODING The Rio Ruidoso reached major flood stage at 15 feet as 1.5-2.5 inches of rain triggered life-threatening floods in wildfire burn scars. NWS Albuquerque: "A DANGEROUS situation is unfolding in RUIDOSO! Seek HIGHER…
An earthquake swarm began at Mt. Rainier, WA, at 1:29 am PDT on July 8. Map shows current swarm (orange) with all earthquakes located since 2020 (blue). According to @PNSN, hundreds of events have occurred thus far (max M1.7). This is the largest swarm at Mt. Rainier since 2009.
The subtropical eastern Atlantic and portions of the tropical Atlantic are warmer than normal. The current Atlantic sea surface temperature pattern is fairly similar to what we typically observe in July prior to active Atlantic #hurricane seasons.
Hope that everyone had a very happy and safe Independence Day! Yellowstone got something of an early start on fireworks displays. On July 3 at 8:18 p.m. there was a small eruption from Black Diamond Pool, in Biscuit Basin. The new YVO webcam caught the event!
Tropical Storm #Andrea has formed east of Bermuda - the first Atlantic named storm of the 2025 Atlantic #hurricane season. On average the first Atlantic named storm forms on 20 June.
Since there is talk about bringing back ASBESTOS (this is somehow true), I thought it would be useful to describe just some what happens to you when you breath this stuff into your lungs. In short, it’s terrible. A 🧵
Summertime is back in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina! The mountains appear blue because specific oak and poplar trees here emit a chemical called isoprene to protect them against excessive heat. Photo Credit: @AshevillePictu1 #ncwx
Time for a little science on the night shift! We have chances for rain continuing today, tomorrow, & Tuesday. We aren't expecting rain the entire time over the next 3 days. However, even so, this seems like a lot of consecutive days of rain chances. So what's going on?
Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, a couple of hundred years ago, greenhouse gas forcing - mainly from burning fossil fuels - has more than doubled. Meaning that the ability of the atmosphere to trap heat has significantly increased. Thanks @LeonSimons8 for the graphic!
Did you know weather satellites can detect large wildfires on the ground? In addition to the smoke plume on visible satellite channels, thermal imaging can detect the intense heat of wildfires from above. This is an animation of the Ocean County #JonesRoadFire Tuesday afternoon.
Yesterday, @NOAA’s #GOESEast 🛰️ monitored the rapidly growing #JonesRoadFire in Ocean County, NJ. The satellite is able to detect the fire’s intense heat signature and track the large smoke plume. According to @NJDepForestFire, the blaze has consumed 11,500 acres, and prompted…
BREAKING: Kanlaon Volcano erupted at 5:51 AM on 8 April 2025, sending a 4,000-meter-high ash plume southwest and triggering pyroclastic flows on its southern slopes. Alert Level 3 remains in effect. 📹 phivolcs_dost
After collaborating with the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center in Doylestown, I immediately transmitted a communication to the NIH expressing serious concern about the potential cancellation of several active research grants—including the Blumberg grant, which supports vital work…
NEW: Have you ever wondered what lies beneath all of Antarctica's ice? Well, thanks to 70 years' worth of surveys, you can see! Take a look at this map: it reveals a hidden world of mountains and canyons not seen for 35 million years. Me @atlasobscura atlasobscura.com/articles/antar…
