Happy #FieldworkFriday#! We retrieved our trail cam from Emerald Ridge (RER) last week which took daily photos from September 2023 to January 2025. This insight shows that our extended solar panel plays a vital role, at times being the only thing above the deep snow.

We’re here in Cal Anderson Park sharing information about earthquake hazards and @USGS_ShakeAlert earthquake early warning at the 2026 Seattle Disaster Relief Trials, a cargo bike competition and exercise showing how micromobility can contribute to community disaster response.

Teachers, Administrators, Parents: Help Your School Community Prepare for Earthquakes 🏫 The ShakeAlert Ready Schools initiative offers free earthquake preparedness resources for K–12 school communities. Developed by the USGS and state partners in California, Oregon, and Washington, the initiative includes standards-based lessons, teaching tools, and other resources. ShakeAlert®, the nation's public earthquake early warning system, can provide seconds of warning before strong shaking arrives, giving people time to take protective action, such as Drop, Cover, and Hold On. Earthquake preparedness takes planning and practice. Explore ShakeAlert Ready Schools resources to help your school community build awareness, strengthen preparedness, and know what to do when an earthquake occurs. Schools can put those skills into action by participating in the 2026 Great ShakeOut on October 15 and practicing Drop, Cover, and Hold On.

PNSN Director Harold Tobin spoke to KOMO News about the M7.3 earthquake that struck off the Pacific Coast of Mexico today—and what it means for the Pacific Northwest. Watch here:

Happy #FieldworkFriday#! PNSN field crew recently took a helicopter ride to upgrade equipment at seismic station OSD (Snow Dome) on Mount Olympus in Olympic National Park. Ride along to check out the views!

PNSN staff & @USGS Seattle colleagues are in Portland for the second time in a month! We attended a CRESCENT workshop on Cascadia earthquake scenarios, and now we're at the 13th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering connecting earthquake science to engineering practice.

Attending the 13th National Conference on Earthquake Engineering in Portland? Join ShakeAlert Team members for today's session: 👉Speed Dating with Earthquake Early Warning: Revealing Conversations About What Makes Mitigation in the Moment Possible: 2:30 - 4:00 pm (PT) in Room E146, Oregon Convention Center Participants will explore a shared understanding of: • Earthquake Early Warning as a sociotechnical system • Adoption barriers for specific settings, sectors, and uses • Create opportunities for cross-disciplinary thinking, collaboration, and personal action @EERI_tweets #13NCEE# @PNSN1 @UOHazardsLab @BerkeleySeismo @waShakeOut @PNSN1 @SkyAlertUSA @FEMARegion10 @FEMARegion9 📸 Images: ShakeAlert impacts technology and how over 50 million people interact with earthquakes.

Happy #FieldworkFriday#! After wrapping up work at station BOW2, our field team spottted two young fawns nearby. Were they curious future field assistants, or just taking a quick break from playing tag with each other?

7 seismometers, 6 soccer matches, and 21 goals! Here's how the seismograms for every World Cup goal scored at Seattle Stadium stack up. Read the Seattle Times story for more about PNSN's sports seismology (and the real earthquake kind):

And with a final goal from Romelu Lukaku, it ends in a 4-1 victory for Belgium. That's it for the #2026WorldCup# at Seattle Stadium, but keep an eye out for a roundup of all goals captured during the six matches hosted here—and stay tuned for more #SportsSeismology# experiments!

Oooof: Hans Vanaken scores for Belgium, and now it's 3-1. The Belgian fans at Seattle Stadium aren't shaking the building as hard, but they're getting more opportunities to record their goal reactions at station HWK3.

Malik Tillman's free kick equalizes for the USA at 31 minutes! The fans made Seattle Stadium shake and we captured this seismogram of their reaction at station HWK3. #SportsSeismology# #WorldCup2026# #FIFAWorldCup#

Belgium scores first! Goal by Charles de Ketelaere nine minutes into the match—here's the reaction from the Belgian fans recorded by our station HWK3. #SportsSeismology# #WorldCup2026# #FIFAWorldCup#

Doing a vibe check and making sure everything is ready for the USA vs Belgium match at Seattle Stadium. Vibes are immaculate and everything is ready to rock! Check out all the action on here: #SportsSeismology# #WorldCup2026#

#USMNT# got supporters rockin'n'rollin' in Seattle Stadium! Even with the flag up, Freeman's header tops the list and fans went WILD after the VAR overturn! Here's how Seattle #FIFAWorldCup# goals stack up so far. Stay tuned to see how next other matches stack up to the USA goals!
