It might be true that the world needs to remove ten billion tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere every year but it’s never going to happen for many different reasons: technical, financial, social, environmental, governance, etc. If we don’t reduce CO₂ emissions, we’re screwed. That’s it.
Removing CO2 from atmosphere vital to avoid catastrophic tipping points, leading scientist says
10bn tonnes must be captured from the air every year to limit global heating to 1.7C, says Johan Rockström

This visualization of Japan’s M6.8 yesterday is phenomenal. Offshore S-net detected it and issued earthquake alert before any land station detection. Numbered circles show JMA intensity (not same as MMI). Offshore is where we need to be in Cascadia as well.
The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.

Utrecht Paleogeography model in prep!
We're integrating our detailed reconstructions of orogenic belts and lost subducted plates into one plate tectonic and paleogeography model. We'll launch the updated Paleolatitude.org soon, and more tools for geodynamic, paleoclimate, and paleobiology studies!

New insights on #CampiFlegrei earthquakes 🧠
Our paper in @commsearth.nature.com shows that <10% of released energy radiates as seismic waves — the rest is dissipated as heat and rock damage, acting as a natural cap on magnitude.

Accadde oggi: il 25 ottobre del 1751, iniziò al Vesuvio un'eruzione effusiva. La lava tracimata da una bocca sul fianco sudorientale si ingrottò, fuoriuscendo più a valle e formando finte nuove bocche eruttive, dalle quali proseguì nel Vallone del Fruscio. L’eruzione fu preceduta da sismicità.

🌊 Jan–Feb 2025, earthquake swarms shook Santorini. A study by @gfz.bsky.social & @geomarkiel.bsky.social explains why. 🌋 Magma from a reservoir beneath Kolumbo intruded as a ~13 km dike, triggering the quakes. Data reveal a link between Santorini and Kolumbo systems.
