Update on the #landslide on Fagraskógarfjall mountain in Hítardalur in West #Iceland, with new optical imagery available from the #Sentinel2 satellite (NIR composite July 17). Timelapse made using #EOBrowser from @sentinel_hub
Public service announcement: the Daily Express is still somewhere you should never go for factual science news.
If you click on it, they make money for making up BS that does affect people. https://t.co/b1cCXxYfhm
The trend continues, new GPS station CALS on the caldera floor of Kilauea is experiencing increasing drops during each collapse/explosion event, now over 2 meter per event!
(Hopefully it will not suffer the same fate as NPIT.) https://t.co/C5PrMHBNwc
Some of the UK tabloids are a national embarrassment. Sensationalism during a volcanic crisis is irresponsible and can be dangerous.
Surely @twitter's verification process is flawed if @premiumbusiness outlets such as the @Daily_Express broadcast #fakenews. https://t.co/CRqyri3gs1
Patterns I see in volcano reporting across eruptions:
- Fears of catastrophic earthquakes/collapse. No.
- Fears of mega-tsunami. No.
- Fears of climate changing or reversing. Still No.
You don't need the worst-case scenarios (for other volcanoes) to make volcanoes interesting.
#Kilauea isn't the only US volcano that can produce lava flows. Many volcanoes across multiple states in the lower 48 can produce flows, including Yellowstone! https://t.co/DM04Y2WMZB
Officials Assess Lava-Severed Highway 137. You can see how thick the lava flow is here, and how dangerous it still is with explosions possible. #Kilauea
