We’re seeing seemingly endless waves of pink footed geese migrating over the Netherlands this week. Surprisingly away from the Baltic rather than towards the Baltic as you would expect around this time of the year.

It is a good time to remember his father: a β€˜giant’ in the French revolutionary wars. His biography β€˜the black count’ is a fantastic book!

Ah, I see. If the folder renaming doesn’t help, then the license needs to be reset by Esri.

The first option might do the trick. Very crude guess is that your ip address has changed

Close the software, browse to C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local, and rename the ESRI_Licensing folder to ESRI_Licensing_OLD. If the previous machine is available, open the software there, go to Licensing, and uncheck "Authorize to work offline"

Uplift and Exposure of Serpentinized Massifs: Modeling Differential Serpentinite Diapirism and Exhumation of the Troodos Mantle Sequence, Cyprus Coupled isostatic uplift-erosion modeling explains the outcrop pattern of the Troodos mountains Contrasting extents of serpentinization within the Mantle Sequence induced differential exhumation ...

Runaway isostasy: what happens when you expose the mantle at the Earth's surface?

Not due to tectonic thrust sheets clipping a bit and forcing it up a thrust fault or the like, but the crust eroding through?

You get the Cyprus's Troodos Mountains:

The figure shows waveforms recorded by 6 infrasound sensors located 4 kilometres away from Utrecht. The different arrival times of the sharp first break is consistent with the direction of the blast site. Possibly a slower, low frequent arrivals with opposite polarity follows the blast.

People living in earthquake prone area or air travellers have a high awareness on how to respond. An awareness for the effects of a man-made blast or for example caused by a meteor can safe lives!

Major explosions can cause injury due to people looking out windows in response to a light flash or a fire preceding the blast. A blast wave can also be followed by a dangerous blast wind that rushes in to fill the void left by the expanding blast wave.

On the 15th of January at 15:28 local time (UTC time +1) a likely gas explosion caused several buildings to collapse in the historic centre of Utrecht. Luckily only 4 persons suffered minor injuries. It was clear though that people were shocked and didn't not now the best respond.

The perimeter ABCD on REM data near Ermelo is interpreted as a Roman camp [1] although its dimensions are suspiciously close to metric (AB=201m, BC=299m). On the original data it is hard to see if 1930s forest roads cut the ditch and bank. Optical dating results are expected early this year. #Roman

Agree, but maybe a socialist mindset helps to push back on greed.

Greed has many of the characteristics of a pathogen. It will find ways to spread itself.
I borrow this idea of Amitav Ghosh, who in his book Smoke and Ashes applies this concept to opium/opioids. He notes societies control its spread with taboo. For greed replace taboo with socialism.

Archeological investigations have shown that at least the upper 7m of the motte itself is manmade!

For #hillfortsWednesday another item related to the Counts of Hamaland. The 10th century Uplathe castle. At the location of the nearby St Vitus the counts had a castle and founded an abbey ('Stift Elten'). This area straddles the border between Germany and the Netherlands.

Nee, de Schoonebeekse jaknikkers staan al in Venezuela. Voordat de lezers weer hun opinie door Petrodollars laten bepalen: heavy oil recovery kost veel energie om stoom op te wekken en is er een risico op bodemwater verontreiniging. De breakeven prijs ligt bovendien $30 boven de huidige olieprijs.

Oil majors are known to package risk. Take on high risk ventures in a country if combined with low risk. Trump might package as β€˜repayment’ some of Venezuelan tax revenue to subsidise the high production cost. So steal from Venezuelans rather than American consumers.

You’re mistaken. You won’t get 2 geologist doing the same thing. Typically Geophysicists do the leg work and a geologist with a sharpie takes the credit…
