I’ve had a tough few days with dogs.

Luckily there is always a win around the corner. And what a win it was as.

Deep Beneath California’s Sierra Nevada, Earth’s Lithosphere May Be Peeling Away - Eos Evidence for lithospheric foundering, or the process of denser material sinking into the mantle, is emerging.

🌎 Beneath California's Sierra Nevada, Earth's lithosphere may be peeling away layer by layer, according to research supported by @igpp-sio.bsky.social scientist Debi Kilb. This process could be reshaping the region's geology. 🏔️ Dive into the discovery via @eos.org. ⬇️

Human-caused mortality and serious injury of #humpbackwhales remains a significant concern.

We are looking/listening beneath the waves to help our mighty cetaceans thrive in a changing environment.

New maps show high-risk zones for whale-ship collisions • Alaska Beacon Collisions with ships are a threat to many large whale species. Scientists estimate that thousands of whales are killed by ships yearly.

New maps show high-risk zones for whale-ship collisions, writes researcher Anna Nisi for @us.theconversation.com, via @AlaskaBeacon.com:

Whales can communicate with humans!!!

December 2023, researchers at Davis, the SETI Institute, and the Alaska Whale Foundation had a 20-minute "conversation" with a humpback whale named Twain

I translated what Twain said

Orcas have learned how to hunt and kill huge whale sharks, video shows Off the coast of Mexico, scientists have observed a pod of killer whales adapting new skills to help them hunt these docile giants of the sea.

A pod of orcas off the coast of Mexico appears to have learned new skills that help them hunt whale sharks — the world’s largest fish, scientists say.

Researchers found that the pod worked together on four occasions to incapacitate whale sharks and feast on their organs.

Whale necropsy results reveal likely blunt force trauma Necropsy results suggest that this animal likely died from blunt force trauma to the head and jaw region, consistent with a vessel strike.
