GPS station AC03 in Anchor Point, part of the Network of the Americas, helps capture this motion. It reveals decades of vertical uplift, reflecting the ongoing reshaping of Alaska’s landscape.

The 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake caused the Kenai Peninsula to subside, and the land today is still bounding back after the earthquake. Meanwhile, centuries of ice loss have lightened the load on the crust, allowing it to spring back.

Alaska is on the rise—literally. 🛰️📈 GPS data reveal that parts of the Kenai Peninsula are steadily rising, a lingering response to both tectonic and glacial forces.

In 2023, atmospheric rivers dumped tons of precipitation on California. While the green vegetation and flooding was obvious, it’s not quite so easy to track how this affected groundwater. A recent paper shows how seismometers can help measure that! ⬇️ loom.ly/o8RhbpQ

Measuring California groundwater after a wet 2023―with seismometers | EarthScope Consortium

In early 2023, an incredible amount of precipitation fell on drought-stricken California. The surface effects were quite visible but it’s not quite so easy to track how this affected groundwater.

How much bigger is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a magnitude 6? A LOT bigger. For each whole magnitude number, the energy released increases by a factor of 32. Check out this cool visualization that puts earthquake magnitudes in perspectives. piped.video/sTvtKUb-RsY
