People sometimes talk about how the seafloor is one of the great unexplored mysteries - and it's true - but there's a vast region of land that also qualifies: the Tibetan Plateau. 🧵 1/ 
Standing at ~4.8 km above sea level (15,700 ft), the Plateau is extremely inhospitable to humans: oxygen is almost halved compared to sea level. Operating at this altitude is difficult: movement is exhausting, thinking is hard. 2/

For comparison: the highest peak in the continental US is Mt. Whitney, at 14,494 feet (4418 m).
That's lower than the AVERAGE elevation of the Tibetan Plateau - a region 2000 km x 1000 km! 3/

The eruption is over but the ground is still shaking - there have been dozens of #earthquakes around the #HungaTonga #volcano (magnitude 4.5-5), continuing today. 1/3

Many are likely due to slip on existing faults or fracturing of new ones due to changes in crustal stress caused by the eruption. Others may be linked to magma movement, although that usually produces a more persistent signal called #volcanictremor. 2/3

I haven't seen any focal mechanisms for these events, which would tell us more about the type of #earthquake - it may be difficult to extract that information as these events are M5 or less, and seismic networks are sparse in this region. 3/3
#遊記 上週三下午一行人頂著感恩節的堵車去Death Valley玩，0點才到營地，正巧那天有席捲南加的大風天氣，一下車就被大風吹傻，沙子石子兒往臉上打，眼睛也一直進沙，後悔沒帶個Goggles。在大風裡支起帳篷真的非常艱難，而且土地超硬釘子扎不進去，我們只好用行李壓住帳篷角，用繩子把帳篷綁在車輪上。
本來打算用四個帳篷的，最後決定四個人睡兩個帳篷，另外兩個人分別睡車。營地放眼望去，其他全是房車/Trailer，帳篷只我們一家。不過最後鑽進帳篷後發現帳篷裡一點風也感覺不到耶！！！真神奇，雖然會有被風吹的聲音，但太睏了的我還是睡得很死。
睡前我很發愁風這麼大，明早生火可能有困難。結果第二天早上風就停了，而且竟然不冷，大家擦完一臉沙子都表示很開心。Ranger快樂地騎著山地車巡查營地，過來跟我們說你們停的地方不是個camping site，指點了一下我們改挪去的地方和哪裡交錢
This #meme shows an 'experiment' on #GMO 🌽.
It went #viral multiple times in the last decade.
Do we see a scientific study by 'students in England'❓

@Jeegabyte After releasing the 3D Timelapse feature to track climate change impact on #GoogleEarth, the search giant has now shared a set of climate experiments under the “Heartbeat of the Earth” initiative -- a series of online artworks depicting scientific climate data.

@Jeegabyte The project is a collaboration between Google Arts & Culture Lab, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and a bunch of artists. It was first introduced last year during world environment day.

Thread: This is the area where the Temple of Amenhotep, Son of Hapu, and 4 more lay. In Oct 2020 we saw archaeological work done in the area. I was interested in the outer rear of the temple, so we immediately went there #egyptology #archaeology #ancientEgypt #Luxor #excavations
The most interesting feature about this whole area, including the Temple of Ay and Horemheb, are the domestic structures from the time of Amenhotep III discovered by Robichon&Varille (ASHapu)+Hölscher (Ay-H.), cited after by Lacovara #Egyptology #Archaeology #Luxor #Egypt
We can see that structures in situ with my #GoogleEarth composition and the excavated area in the map along with my shot in October 2020 #Egyptology #Archaeology #Luxor #Egypt #ancientegypt

Funkcjonariusze @PolskaPolicja w ramach prowadzonych śledztw,korzystają też z technik #BiałyWywiad #OSINT.
"Prezentem"😉 będzie śledztwo mojego kolegi @BenDoBrown ,jednego z najlepszych na świecie researcherów👍.
Czy można ustalić gdzie to zdjęcie było robione? 😎@MariuszCiarka

#Tchernobyl : dans la nuit du 25 au 26 avril 1986, une série d’erreurs pendant un essai de sécurité entraînent l’explosion du réacteur n°4 et la fusion du cœur. La plus grave catastrophe nucléaire, longtemps la seule classée au niveau 7 sur l’échelle #INES, avant #Fukushima
#Tchernobyl, 2019, 33 ans depuis l’accident. Dites 33 : retour sur le rôle déterminant des #satellites d’observation dans le suivi de la #catastrophe : comme les nuages radioactifs, les satellites ne sont pas arrêtés par les frontières. Un #thread à dérouler… #space #nucléaire
En 2019, il semble facile d’avoir rapidement une image de n’importe quelle région du monde. Ici, la région et la centrale de #Tchernobyl , près de Prypiat, vue le 13/04/19 par le satellite européen #Sentinel2 (#Copernicus). Les images n’ont pas toujours été aussi disponibles…
