Wow. Wir haben unsere Erde so richtig aus dem Gleichgewicht gebracht.

Ein riesiger Erdrutsch auf Grnland hat eine 200m hohe Tsunamiwelle ausgelst, die dann 9 Tage lang um die Erde lief.

Der Erdrutsch ist das Resultat jahrzehntelanger Erwrmung. Auftauender Permafrost und zurckweichende Gletscher konnten die Erdmassen nicht mehr halten.

Wir sind in einem neuen Zeitalter der Erwrmung angekommen und solche Ereignisse werden jetzt fter vorkommen.

In September 2023, a huge landslide in Greenlands Dickson Fjord unleashed a 200-meter-high mega-tsunami, generating a unique seismic signal that lasted 9 days whose vibrations were detected globally.

As permafrost on steep slopes continues to warm and glaciers continue to thin due to climate chnage we can expect these events to happen more often and on an even bigger scale across the world's polar and mountainous regions.

NZ's plan since John Key's National govt is to meet our carbon commitments by buying overseas carbon credits. Doing it by reducing our emissions would be "over-achieving".

And somehow this is our fair share

"To avoid purchasing any carbon credits from overseas, the government would need to over-achieve on New Zealand's own, domestic emissions budgets by cutting an extra 100 million tonnes from the country's emissions in the next five years."

"We fly lots, and we say that we shouldn't, says Jonas De Vos, a transport geographer at University College London (UCL) and the first author of the latest study. We are hypocrites.

The standard wisdom is that academic careers, especially early, are harmed when academics don't jet around the world for in-person meetings. This article suggests that the importance of this travel is overstated, while the carbon cost is clear.

It started with a melting that set off a huge landslide, which triggered a 650-foot high mega-tsunami in last September. Then came something inexplicable: a mysterious vibration that shook the planet for nine days.

Over the past year, dozens of scientists across the world have been trying to figure out what this signal was

Wow. A new paper in Science
explains how an unexplained seismic signal in September 2023 was detected all around the world and lasted 9 days.

Here, 3 of the 69 collaborating authors of the paper explain what happened:

Paper title "A rockslide-generated tsunami in a Greenland fjord rang Earth for 9 days" by Kristian Svennevig et al 2024.
and URL without paywall as taken from the YT description

So triggers a landslide in a fiord in a -dug ravine. When the debris splashes into the water, it creates a 200m tsunami. This wave then sloshes back and forth across the fiord for 9 days. And is picked up as seismic signal all around the world!
As it happens, 1 month later, another landslide at the same fiord occurs. This lasts for 7 days.
The paper's supplement lists another 4 such events since 2004, with tsunamis lasting hours to 3 days.

'Miscellaneous' flies were abundant enough today to be a mild nuisance. Half of the insects on the ivy flowers are common wasps.

Long-term trends are still very worrying and the picture is very mixed. I have still only seen one burnet moth all year.

Earthquake scientists detected an unusual signal on monitoring stations used to detect seismic activity during September 2023. We saw it on sensors everywhere, from the Arctic to Antarctica.

We were baffledthe signal was unlike any previously recorded. Instead of the frequency-rich rumble typical of earthquakes, this was a monotonous hum, containing only a single vibration frequency. Even more puzzling was that the signal kept going for nine days.
