NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR) satellite imaged Venezuela June 25. NISAR SAR interferometry (InSAR) enabled calculation of surface displacement. Displacements have red tones for east and blue tones for west, with white in middle near-zero over fault rupture. Fault ruptured far to east under ocean. #venezuela

It's taken me a while, but here is my first interferogram of the Venezuela earthquakes from Sentinel-1. It's an ascending track to the west of the epicenter, and the pattern of displacements is consistent with slip on a fault that runs close to and parallel to the coast.

The university campus can be the home of many wild animals, but every time when I saw this, it still give me a very different feeling....

Its time for the SSA2026. Seeing A LOT of familiar people in the first afternoon of the meeting. The next three days will be very intense meeting schedule!

I haven't came back to Caltech for 13 years！ Many things have been changed since 2013. No more bookstore nor Red Door Cafe, but the pond and turtles are still there.

It has been almost one year since the Mw 7.7 Mandalay Earthquake. Lessons learned from this event may help us to understand the physics behind the large continental strike-slip fault rupture, and also for earthquake hazard mitigation. Join us in this memorial conference online to learn more about it

Imagery from @planet.com has captured the 4 November 2025 landslide at Mae Moh Mine in Thailand. It shows the failure was about 4.8 km long and 1.4 km wide. There appears to have been coal waste dumping on the area that failed in the weeks before the landslide.

For the Philippines, the latter half of 2025 has not been very peaceful in terms of earthquakes. A Mw 7.4 earthquake occured along the Philippine Trench this morning. Background Image source: Earth Observatory of Singapore.

A LLOF (Landslide Lake Outburst Flood) event happened in eastern Taiwan on Sept 23, causing severe flooding in the downstream area. Despite warnings issued in advance, it killed 17+ people, mostly elders living in 1F. The image taken by Planet Lab today shows the affected area of this LLOF event.
