@CalRivers’ Ron Stork on hazards of Del Puerto Canyon Dam: “The DEIR provides no geotechnical analysis supporting the conclusion that any landslides would be slow and at a scale that would not form a lake tsunami or seiche wave of significant magnitude.” https://t.co/nXHi4nqnp5

Yah, but what about 1936?
A common denier talking point. NASA: summer of 2023 was the hottest summer on record globally at .41 deg F above RECORD. Yes, 1936 summer was VERY hot in the US - many daily heat records in US were set that summer. But US is only 2% of Earth's surface

Catastrophic flooding in Libya - the result of two dam bursts after Storm Daniel dumped massive rain.

A horrific reminder that dams create their own hazard - and can be destabilized by a variety of natural events: rainfall, earthquakes, eruptions, landslides.

my postdoc advisor made the case that for many of us those introductory classes that we teach are far & away bigger and more immediate impact than anything else we do. A lot of those students are never going to see a scientist again. That's your shot.

No plastic — not even soda bottles — has ever been recycled or reused close to a 30% rate, the necessary threshold for something to be considered “recyclable,” according to a Greenpeace report.

Friday Lab Lunch and the PLANETAS lab is building the #Mars2020 Perseverance rover!! We loveeee little Lego Ingenuity :’) stay tuned for our progress completing Percy!

The record low 2022 Antarctic sea ice (thin dashed curve) led to "catastrophic breeding failure of emperor penguins". 4 out of 5 studied sites experienced total breeding failure.

Now look at the data from this year's ice extent (bold dashed curve).

EDITOR'S PICK:
In Douglas et al. (2023), frozen flume experiments reveal the sensitivity of permafrost riverbank erosion to water temperature, bank roughness, and pore-ice content.

Here are my very preliminary pre-sleep thoughts about the meeting and this report: The ocean sciences committee is keen to learn from the drilling community about our science, and NSF is here to also learn so they can advocate for us! I feel very hopeful!

[Joel Gombiner @joelgombiner]

This brilliant paper by @sleuthy_ruthie and others could have huge implications for sea level.

The authors find that the Antarctic ice sheet is more stable than previously feared!

However, there are still some big knowledge gaps, so stay tuned...

I have never seen anything like this - a #landslide triggered by strong winds. Quite extraordinary.
