Happy World Bicycle Day! 🌍
Shoutout to Mark, who pedalled his way to the office this morning. At @GeoSIG_Ltd, we believe that small, daily changes lead to massive environmental impacts. By choosing 2 wheels over 4, we're reducing our carbon footprint one commute at a time.
@RaminNasibov This is a screen shot for Apple II, but it was Atari 800 so a bit different. Archon was battle chess with different mythological figures.
May 31 is #NationalDamSafetyAwarenessDay -- a good reminder that while dams are essential for hydroelectricity, reliable agricultural irrigation, flood control & municipal water, they also carry risks. We must maintain infrastructure & be prepared in case infrastructure fails.
#SHM enables rapid assessment & early detection, ongoing safety & longevity through improved behaviour knowledge, and cost efficiency by keeping maintenance & repair costs down with early detection of issues. Visit our website to find out more about our products and solutions.
Ideal for structural engineers, asset managers, & researchers seeking to understand and implement state-of-the-art #SHM strategies.

🎸 A Metallica concert caused a mini-earthquake in Athens
More than 80,000 people attended the show, while another 10,000 gathered outside the stadium.
According to Greek seismologists, the crowd’s jumping and dancing triggered microseismic tremors.
Today we honour the dedication of all workers who drive our world forward, and we thank our GeoSIG workers who go above and beyond to ensure our instruments are the best that they can be, and projects are carried out with due diligence. Enjoy your well-deserved break! #LabourDay
🌍 Happy 56th #EarthDay!! 🌲
For us, "Swiss Made" isn’t just a label—it’s a promise. We design our instruments for durability & reliability, ensuring they stay in the field for decades rather than ending up in a landfill. Our goal is to make the world a safer place for everyone.
@DrEricDing Studies show flu vaccination lowers cardiovascular death risk by about a third and can reduce heart attack risks by 13% to 45% by lowering inflammation and reducing the strain on the heart caused by influenza.
Sending best wishes to MA Marine, who host #SMATECH2026 in London on April 23-24—for the first time in conjunction with the annual Conference on Renewable Energy. One aim is to create a framework for knowledge sharing and a roadmap for smart and green tech research activities.
Tomorrow marks 120 years since the San Francisco #earthquake, April 18, 1906. A slip of the San Andreas Fault over a segment 275 miles long caused the quake. The shock waves were felt from southern Oregon to Los Angeles. View is towards SF Bay. Photo via the National Archives.
We'd appreciate a moment of your time to take this 2-minute survey to help @LastQuake make earthquake information and tools better and faster for everyone!

"There is no such thing as a natural disaster, only natural hazards." We can make informed choices that avert disasters if we understand risks. But we need to be looking for them.
*** NEW PAPER ALERT ***
A new study in @ScienceAdvances, reveals a critical but often overlooked #driver of #coastal#flood#risk: the land itself is sinking.
Led by Dr. Leonard Ohenhen (@UCIrvine, former @virginia_tech PhD, @Leonardgeol), our work shows that across #Java Island:
• Land is subsiding up to 15 cm/year
• Subsidence will drive up to 85% of relative sea level rise by 2050
• More than 75% of the coastline will be dominated by this process
This is not just a #climate story—it’s a #human-driven hazard tied to #groundwater extraction and resource use. If we ignore subsidence, we are underestimating risk.
Proud to see this work published in Science Advances. Congrats Leonard!

It's been almost a year since @ISCseism posted this small treasure, "Seismoriskology"—rediscovered in a forgotten filing cabinet. After some online sleuthing, it was determined to have been written by Robin McGuire (1992). We enjoyed it and thought it worthy of another viewing.
We provide the "Swiss Quality" precision needed to monitor hazards. Ready to secure your project with world-class instrumentation? Our global network of partners is standing by to provide technical expertise tailored to your local needs.
