This is bloody good news - CO2 injection already underway in NZ geothermal fields. stuff.co.nz/environment/clim…

Trial of reliable zero-carbon power 'successful'

Geothermal power stations release small amounts of greenhouse gas. But Mercury Energy is trialling a system that could change that.

Replying to @FeltonR
Check out @soilsafe - you can get your soil screened as part of a cool university-community-CRI project. This is a great first step to deciding whether to grow back yard veges and chooks.

Great article by ⁦@scronin70⁩ on why the volcanic eruption in Tonga was so violent, and what to expect next. #HungaTonga has an explosive past with a large submarine caldera and past ashfall preserved on Tongatapu. theconversation.com/why-the-…

Why the volcanic eruption in Tonga was so violent, and what to expect next

The eruption is akin to a weapons-grade chemical explosion, and there could be several weeks or even years of major volcanic unrest to follow.

Hey #AGU21 volcano and paleomag people! A quick plug for the awesome GP24A session tomorrow with super cool talks about volcanlogical applications for pmag! I'll be up at 4:30am my time to talk to you about using pmag to see how lava flows heat soils! 😭☕️☕️☕️

Do hydrothermally altered rocks have lower magnetization than fresh rocks, as is generally assumed? Not always! For details, read our research on the magnetic properties of altered rocks from Whakaari volcano, published today in GRL #AGUpubs. doi.org/10.1029/2021GL095732

High Remanent Magnetization Measured in Hydrothermally Altered Lavas

Natural remanent magnetization dominates induced magnetization in volcanic rocks from Whakaari Hydrothermally altered lavas can carry higher remanent magnetization than fresh lavas Both induced ...

#SamplingMars is underway. I’ve drilled into my rock target, and my team will be looking at more data and images to confirm if we were able to get and retain an intact core. Latest images: go.nasa.gov/perseverance-raw…
