How do you read the literature? Thoughts on academic maturation

The Open Source Paleontologist [2011-09-02 15:30:00]   recommend this post  (1529 visits)
How much should you trust the scientific literature? Reflecting on my own academic maturation, as well as observing on-line discussions of dinosaur paleontology for over 15 years (yikes, I'm getting old!), I have concluded that most of us pass [...]

Design basis exceeded for North Anna nuclear plant

Ontario-geofish [2011-08-29 22:34:00]   recommend this post  (1032 visits)
Article That's an absolute "For Sure".  When an M5 happened near the Perry nuclear plant, the design basis was exceeded, based on the crappy definition.  The horrible scratch plates went through the roof, as they will be found to have [...]

Virginia Earthquake - Fin

Ontario-geofish [2011-08-29 01:26:00]   recommend this post  (959 visits)
It was a wonderful earthquake, and like most eastern earthquakes before it, we learned absolutely nothing. The aftershock sequence seems entirely normal, so I wouldn't be saying anything unless I saw the events creeping towards the old seismic [...]

Where does Singapore come from?

This may seem at first glance a stupid question, and the answer – Cambodia – even sillier. But it’s a fact. The tiny island nation of Singapore is home to a booming economy and the growth that goes along

Is This Tropical Storm Katia??

Dan\'s Wild Wild Science Journal [2011-08-29 00:10:05]   recommend this post  (846 visits)
The track/intensity models are indicating development, but hint at a real possibility of an eventual NW track before it approaches North America. I suspect it will be upgraded to a named storm within 36 hours. The next 2 weeks are the most active of [...]

New paper on the post-depositional changes of Tsunamites

Paleoseismicity [2011-08-31 18:09:30]   recommend this post  (825 visits)
A new paper published in Natural Hazards today discusses post-depositional changes of tsunamites. At sites in Thailand covered by sediments of the 2004 Sumatra tsunami, Szczuciński (2011) has documented significant changes in the deposits over the [...]

Irene Pounding The Mid Atlantic Coast

The image on the right is from NOAA/AOML and shows a very large wind field around Irene. The latest NWP models continue to show a track near New York and Boston, but while Irene is a minimal hurricane the large wind field will cause significant [...]

From NASA’s Aqua satellite. Taken with the MODIS sensor which has channels in the wavelengths of red, green, and blue light, so it’s true colour. Click for the HUGE “print that puppy and slap it on the wall”
