ICYMI, Himawari-9 Ash RGB images captured a signature of the first recorded eruption of Krasheninnikov on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia, which began on August 2. More on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

Would only apply to countries deemed to have high overstay rates.

Even so, it sends a message out that international visitors are not really welcome in the US.

Along side killing off US science, the Trump administration now wants to destroy the US tourism and hospitality industries.

How much do international tourists bring into the US ?

How much does US make from international conferences ?

Opinion | The Pacific tsunami response is a warning about federal funding for science The better the warning systems perform, the less visible their value becomes — until those systems fail.

'Filmed by ITV News International Editor Emma Murphy, on board a plane dropping aid into Gaza, the images show huge swathes of land in ruins'

If these reports are true, then Netanyahu must think he has Trump's backing for such actions.

I’ve been having a few too many conversations like this. Them: Hi Kate, how are things with your work, with the world? Me: the university is under attack, democratic norms being broken in half, so, pretty bad. Them: But everything is going to come back and be okay after the midterms. Me: Uhh, no.

This is #Copernicus #Sentinel1 data acquired on 29th July 2025 at 19:58:28 UTC. South Onekotan.

Yet another very complex wave field 🤯

Some of these waves have very long wavelengths - in excess of 650 m

Just deleted post about that unverified Kamchatka tsunami wave video. Video needs to be verified and geolocated.

For the moment we'll just have use what satellites could see

Trump is going to mad when he finds out who caused the slow down in parts of the US economy.

No doubt he'll try to blame those producing the stats, but the damage will be there for all to see.

#Copernicus #Sentinel1 acquired data over the region around 7 hours after the Mag 8.8 shows just how complex the tsunami wave fields were.

It's quite possible that video could have been filmed in one of the smaller bays.

Needs to be verified and georefenced.

Based on #CopernicusAtmosphere GFAS data, this fire resulted in the highest annual total estimated fire emissions for Cyprus since at least 2003. Figure below for Greece, Turkey & Crprus to end of July from atmosphere.copernicus.eu/cams-tracks-...

🔥Wildfires are growing more frequent and intense, fuelled by climate change and extreme weather. How do we measure their true impact? With near real-time data, CAMS tracks wildfire emissions, while C3S provides a range of fire-related datasets.

Also NASA Landsat 🛰️s also acquire data over this region. So changes in surface temperature may also be visible.

This from ESRI Landsat Explorer on 9th July 2025

Cyprus wildfire burnscar via #Copernicus #Sentinel2 as seen on 31st July 2025. This is a short wave infrared image to hightlight extent of the destruction.

And if the business case for new railway lines or rolling stock makes key assumptions that a certain proportion of the passengers will work on a train, but existing technology isn't able to deliver ?

=> some benefits identified for the programme will never be realised.

Why glaciers are threatening to wipe out more mountain villages Switzerland spends almost $500m a year on protective structures. Is it worth it - or, as some suggest, should people move away from the mountain villages at risk?

I have been warning about this for quite a while

No village in any mountain range is any longer safe

As glaciers melt and the permafrost that holds mountain faces together thaws, giant landslides and debris flows will become ever more common

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...

Analysis of ALOS-2 PALSAR data or LANDSAT land surface temperature should be able to help reveal some changes bsky.app/profile/dpma...

Try never to book through Booking dot com at all. Was told by one hotel manager in Greece that he had to pay 20% commission to them. And that it was wiping out most of his profit margin.

Also if you use Booking or AirBnB services then you're indirectly supporting the T ... P regime.

I love how they dance around the reason no one is visiting the US.

Hint: it starts with T and ends with P.

I've watched a few DIY videos where there presenter mentions coming out of ECHR. Quite where they get the ideas from 🤷‍♂️.

I doubt some even understand the consequences of such actions.

Ideas:

- plum and walnut jam (made some recently and it's 😋)
- plum tart: sweet brioche dough / shop bought puff, cheats creme pat, + sliced plums on top

JAXA has the region covered by its ALOS-2 PALSAR observation scenario

And no, the late 2000's global financial crash was not caused by the then Labour government here in the UK.

It started with subprime mortgages in the US, and the collapse of Lehman Brothers bank.
