Me today: 55 years old
@earthquakes.au this year: 50 years
Me at SRC this year: 35 years
It’s so weird that a casual summer job after finishing a computer science degree turned into a lifelong career, but here we are. I appreciate the friends, opportunities and experiences seismology has given me.
Last seismic station collected! Now we’re off to Kalgoorlie to clean them up for the next deployment.
Here's the final video in my WA Array series, documenting the third and final field trip of a deployment phase. It involves collecting and cleaning the equipment, ready to do it all again in the next area of Western Australia. This exposed equipment survived a cyclone in March with very few issues.
I’m at Geoscience Australia for a seismic software user group meeting this week. I highly recommend visiting their public display in the foyer - lots of beautiful rocks, and you can even touch the moon!

Lots of flying today: nine of the GSWA seismic stations collected with the help of pilot Tom
We completed the last of the helicopter-serviced stations today at the most westerly point in Australia, on Dirk Hartog Island in Shark Bay. Thanks to GSWA for the opportunity to view this beautiful part of the state from the best perspective.
Jumping on the #grwm trend to reveal the truth about earthquake prediction.

My last day in Western Australia and I felt an earthquake! I'm in Kalgoorlie and this magnitude 3.4 earthquake locates to about 5km from where I was lying in bed! Spending my morning playing with seismic data is the perfect end to my trip!
We are at the Geological Survey of Western Australia core library today cleaning the last of the sensors and digitisers in preparation for the next deployment in less than 2 months time.
It looks like the region to the NW of Mount Perry is active again. In 2015 a magnitude 5.2 earthquake kicked off a sequence of aftershocks with magnitude 2+ events occurring regularly for almost 2 years. The area has seen ongoing activity, but these latest events are the largest since February 2015.

Another magnitude 3.5 earthquake has occurred near Mount Perry in Queensland, at a few minutes past 4am. Comment if you felt it.
