Exciting news today from @fleetspace: it was awarded $4M to harness seismic data from the lunar south pole 👏 I am over the #moon to announce that I am a part of "Moon to Mars: Demonstrator Program" and will work on #seismic #data. 😀 👨‍🚀 @anuearthscience

A great crossover of science communication and dumb earth science-themed lyrics! CHECK IT OUT

If you want to see how I explain my research on plate tectonics using an analogy from a @TheRoystonClub song, I wrote a short article about what I've been up to during my PhD here: https://t.co/Xw5uErzkhZ

Can we use plate driving forces to improve plate reconstruction models? Find out in our new paper @SciReports here: https://t.co/AomBUPq20g. Thanks to co-authors @AdamFHolt @hvymtlscience @ClaudioFaccenna and Thorsten @UTGeophysics.

A new report by @USGS and @fema estimate US earthquake losses of $14.7 billion per year — a 140% increase over past estimates. Check out @Temblor's latest by @SeismoAlice https://t.co/YTlWYHBqAJ

@birdie_stuff I know this is probably not me but I also do this! I remember you lending me a Percy Jackson and telling me not to break the spine! My current book is wrinkly because it got all wet!

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@drs2222 It’s from kung fu nation! Let me know if this is yours and how we can get it to you.

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@drs2222 Hey! Sorry for reaching out on Twitter! My roommate dropped you a line on LinkedIn. We have a package with your name on at our house :)

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

My thesis is now available to read online if anyone ever fancies a read about the moon 🌖

Exciting update -- I’ve successfully made it all the way to Texas to start my new job as a postdoc at @UTGeophysics 🤠

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@GPrietocruz Yes! If I remember correctly, the anti-correlated events were on separate sub-parallel faults within the nest?

I’m hoping to look at the Bucaramanga nest as a possible earth analogue for moonquakes as part of my postdoc at UTIG.

Check out the first paper about moonquakes!

Why do some moonquakes slip backwards? Do they slip forwards and backwards? Or can deep moonquakes slip in any direction? we find they can slip in a variety of directions and must be driven by tidal stresses!

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

Photographic proof that I thought very hard about the moon while writing this paper!

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@Geolojen They’re great because the rest of the song has nothing to do with tectonics/geology at all! You’re just bopping along to a good song and then BAM! Geology lyric and it always makes me smile.

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@Geolojen My current fave tectonic themed lyric is “ We move like tectonic plates without the consequences
Of tsunamis and earthquakes, famine and heartbreak” — the opening lyrics from believe it or not by the Royston club. What does it mean?!!??

[Alice Turner @SeismoAlice]

@Geolojen Runner up goes to they lyric “you could blame tectonic plates for pushin’ the earth until it shakes killer waves washing people away” from the song evil powers by bad sounds.
