🔴 **Evidence of the Zanclean megaflood in the eastern Mediterranean Basin**

“_Our findings provide evidence for a large amplitude drawdown in the Ionian Basin during the MSC, support the scenario of a Mediterranean-wide catastrophic flood at the end of the MSC, and suggest that the identified sedimentary body is the largest known megaflood deposit on Earth._”

Micallef, A., Camerlenghi, A., Garcia-Castellanos, D. et al. Evidence of the Zanclean megaflood in the eastern Mediterranean Basin. Sci Rep 8, 1078 (2018). doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-194.

🌍 after watching "The Core" the other day (fluff B-movie involving the earth's magnetic field), I was reminded to update my #rstats International Geomagnetic Reference Field {igrf} package. The package now uses version 14 parameters as released late 2024.

Still Mad About CD Prices

First, this phenomenon (microseismic blip every 26 seconds originating off the coast of West Africa) is super interesting. Second, the article is nicely written.

Third, which scientists, exactly, were "stunned?" Was it the one who discovered this in the 1960s? The ones who knew about it and published in the 1980s? The ones who published about it again in 2006? So many stunned scientists.

Remembering that reporters almost never write headlines. This reporter needs a different editor.

Geologist input requested!

I came across this interesting feature, apparently shear stress of some sort between layers in sandstone in the northern Rhinogydd range in Eryri. The face is part of a long-abandoned manganese mine.

Can someone please provide a good explanation? 🙏

It’s worth pointing out that Britain and Ireland didn’t exist in their current form 420 million years ago. Scotland and a chunk of Ireland were south of the equator. And what would become England and Wales were separate and near the South Pole.

Thank you Phys.org for this April 7 2025 story highlighting some of the Cluster's work.

"Airborne dust pollution is a growing problem for residents of Utah and other Western states, especially with the exposed lakebed of Great Salt Lake potentially becoming more hazardous as the lake dries. "
