The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),

isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?

I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?

The Old Copper complex, was an ancient Native American culture around Michigan that mined (>5,000 mines) & worked the 99% pure native copper for tools, weapons, and ornaments as far back as 9,500 yrs. Fascinating! #MichiganCopper More

No, you're not crazy. Entire oceans away, people are seeing and saying the exact same things you are. Hang in there, and keep working for the things you believe in despite, and because of, the way the federal government is behaving. The current BS cannot and will not last. "This too shall pass." 👊

Deep-sea mining discharge can disrupt midwater food webs - Nature Communications Deep-sea mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone may release waste into midwaters that support diverse marine life. This study finds such discharges could dilute key food particles and disrupt trophic l...

This study by my colleagues at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa shows that deep sea mining waste to be released near the ocean surface would disrupt marine food webs.

The same would be true of grinding and spreading rocks in the ocean for CO₂ removal. 🌊

Safety Device Supplies Life-Saving Air in an Avalanche - Eos An Alpine medical team buried 24 volunteers in a mountain pass. Their study confirmed the efficacy of the Safeback SBX, which uses snow’s natural porosity to supply air to buried avalanche victims.

“This is the biggest innovation in avalanche safety devices in 25 years.”

10 Years After the Paris Climate Agreement, Here's Where We Are (Gift Article) Has anything really changed in the decade since the Paris Agreement was reached? Actually, quite a lot.

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

Fire-blocking chemicals promise safer buildings New treatments promise to make buildings fire-resistant without using older, toxic chemicals.

NEW: I wrote about the exciting world of flame retardants!

Seriously - this stuff is fascinating. I visited a firm here in Belfast treating wood with a mysterious "natural" mixture that can hold back fire.

With rising wildfires, such tech is increasingly sought-after.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.
