#Permafrost Thaw May Cause #Arctic River Erosion to Speed Up
October 09, 2024
"Permafrost, the thick layer of perennially frozen ground that covers much of the Arctic, slows down the migration of Arctic rivers, according to a new Caltech study. River migration is a common process in which a river's path meanders over time due to erosion of the riverbanks. This rerouting, which can also occur in #SuddenFloods, poses a threat for many communities that live along and depend on rivers. The findings also have implications for how the Arctic region will be impacted by a warming climate as permafrost thaws over time.
"The research was conducted in the Caltech laboratory of Michael Lamb, professor of geology, and is described in a paper appearing in the journal Nature on October 9.
"Led by graduate student Emily Geyman, the study focused on the #KoyukukRiver, a large tributary of the #YukonRiver that winds for hundreds of miles through interior Alaska. There was debate within the scientific community about whether the frozen soil along the riverbanks serves to fortify the banks against erosion or to promote it.
"'Large rivers like the Yukon or the Amazon can move tens to hundreds of feet per year,' Geyman says. "Arctic rivers in particular differ from temperate rivers because they need to thaw the material of their banks before they can pick that material up and move it.'
"Due to #ClimateChange, permafrost is slowly thawing over decades. But a river can experience drastic natural changes within a single year, with flow conditions changing from very cold and fast in early spring to warm and slow a few months later. Geyman and her collaborators leveraged these major changes that take place within a single season to gain a glimpse into how the rivers will behave in response to climate change decades or centuries into the future.
"In spring, the Koyukuk River swells in volume from snowmelt, flowing with fast, cold water. For more temperate rivers, a fast flow means more erosion. But in the Arctic, the temperature of the water matters—cold water is unable to thaw the frozen banks in order to migrate.
"In the new study, Geyman and her collaborators used satellite imagery of the Koyukuk over the past several years and developed a technique to decode high-resolution changes from the images. The team hypothesized that if permafrost was slowing the river's migration, they should only see migration later in the summer when the river water has warmed up. Their hypothesis matched with the satellite data, suggesting that permafrost does, in fact, slow down river migration.
"Next, the team compared sections of the river that flow through permafrost with those that do not. The Koyukuk is special because it traverses a patchwork of both permafrost and unfrozen ground. The team traveled to the Arctic to map the erosion on various bends of the river and found that sections without permafrost migrated twice as fast as analogous riverbends through permafrost terrain.
"The research is part of a larger effort to understand the dynamics of rivers and how they transport carbon, nutrients, and other materials trapped in the soil.
"'River migration has implications for local communities and infrastructure, and also for the Arctic environment,' Lamb says. 'About 1,500 gigatons of #carbon are stored in the frozen permafrost—about twice as much carbon as in the atmosphere, for comparison. There is also #mercury frozen in the soil that could be liberated into rivers as permafrost thaws. We are, ultimately, trying to understand what happens to these elements in the context of river erosion.'
"The work was a collaboration with local Alaska #Native communities, in particular from the town of #Huslia."

BIG SHIP STUCK IN KAHNAWAKE
Posted on August 22, 2024
#MohawkNationNewsMNN. AUG. 22. 2024. A 7.00 pm "Today this ship enroute to Huelva Spain sailed through the St. Lawrence Seaway which meanders through the middle of #Kahnawake #MohawkLand, expected to arrive there on Sept. 2. [MO 94433669 MMSI 244010871]. It’s a General Cargo ship of the Netherlands. The crash shook the community and sent many indigenous people to the site near the Pow Wow grounds.
"The S.S. HEEMSKERKGRACHT, which is Dutch, were our first allies in 1684. They 'sold' their colony to the English. They were the first to adhere to the #TwoRow and #kaianerekowa as the law of the land. So they knew they couldn’t sell our land.
"It is possible the Mohawks can take possession as the ship is now in the middle of kanienkehaka Mohawk territory. They surely know where they are! On ‘#kaniatarowanon,’ the 'The Great River of the Kanienkehaka', one of the biggest, most beautiful and most impressive rivers in the world.
"Seventy years ago the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority forcefully took the land from the Mohawks. We were never compensated.
"The children use to go stand on the wall behind the catholic church and yell war whoops as the ships sailed by. The crew were so terrified they would run and hide inside their cabins.
"The captain is powerful when he’s out on the sea but not on our land. He now can only sit on the ship like everyone else.
"A big crowd has emerged, a reminder that #Creation put us here to take care of our river. We will be here til the end of time carrying out our duties.
"When all these settler/boat people are gone, we will still be here on our river where creation placed us. Since this kahonwehia cannot move, this ship is now a part of our land.
"We shall send to the shipping company bales of tobacco and our thanks, according to our proper protocol. All the goods on that ship are ours. The Seaway is ours and the river is part of kasatsensera kowa sa oiera, the great natural power, and we will take care of her."

@CdnCurmudgeon #PierrePoilievre follows trump’s playbook to the letter. He rants, lies, whines, insults, lies more, deflects, boasts, lies again, complains, and meanders. And then lies again. #Cons have no policies, no economic plans. All they have are #SlickSlogans. I’m surprised they haven’t started using “lock him up” yet to attack #PMJT. We need a #CdnHarris2024 to put #PP in his place and show him up clearly to be the arrogant douche he is.

HOMONATICUM
For et par år siden sendte min søn mig en mail, der lød: ” Se lige på det hér, far. Det må da være en joke?”
Jeg kunne forsikre knægten om at Ayn Rand og “Objektivisme” som udgangspunkt ikke var spor “jokey”. Det var så sandelig oprigtig ment, omend man nok kan sidde tilbage med spørgsmålet “skal jeg lé eller græde” (do I wake or dream?)
Lidt på samme måde har jeg det med Arne Meanders bog (“roman” er muligvis at skrue forventningerne i vejret) “HOMONATICUM – En eventyrlig beretning” – Forlaget Minerva, 1982. Og jeg kan huske, at jeg pillede den ned fra science fiction-reolen på biblioteket på Sundbyvester Plads – og startede på at læse den. Hvilket jeg hurtigt holdt op med. Men 42 år senere blev jeg nysgerrig – for hvad pokker drejede det sig om? Og selvom jeg nok havde en anelse om noget “meget vigtigt” – måske ligefrem noget fra forfatterens “hovedstol” – MÅTTE jeg have vished.
Hovedpersonen hedder “Clair” – og det er en mand! Og han har nogle visioner og anelser om, at være udvalgt til noget særligt, samt være resultatet af en nøje tilrettelagt plan, der gennem noget der kunne ligne utallige reinkarnationer, skal munde ud i en bekæmpelse af ondskaben og oprettelsen af et mellemmenneskeligt fællesskab, der lægger vægt på de åndelige værdier.
Clair møder Helen – der er sådan lidt shapeshifter i det, men ikke så meget, at det har nogen betydning – og de får to børn, Ann og Dick. Så rejser de gennem et diktatorisk, partistyret samfund, der henholder sig til profeten Xerxes og har deres teknologihejs fra en (doktor) Zarkov. Så kommer de gennem et feudalsamfund, styret af Baronen og “de sorte”, der neutraliserer befolkningen med piller og sexorgier. Og endelig kommer de til et underjordisk samfund, hvor de møde vismanden og præsten Vergil. Og der er også noget techno-babble om “neutronhjerner” og krystallæsning af aurafelter via “dekomposition” –
Dernæst skal der kæmpes mod ondskaben. Og det sker på den måde, at de tager til planeten Mira – i dertil indrettede rumskibe (der flyver meget hurtigt!) – hvorefter Clair bliver udnævnt konge og Helen til dronning. Og så afholder de en ridderturning for at finde den bedste mand. Og Clair dræber den onde Calibur med sit syngende sværd, og genforenes med Kilian og Kamiel, mens de hører på gamle Isaks fortælling om det budskab Gud har givet ham. Og så beder de til Gud.
Endelig ankommer de til planeten Tellus, der skal opdyrkes og kultiveres, idet dens nuværende befolkning blot består af åndløse gule mennesker, ude østpå. Og de lander på et plateau ved floden Meanderes (der snor sig som den sinuskurve, der kunne måles da Clair mødte Vergil). Og så bliver der trompetfanfarer og der tændes bål, og rumskibene forlader Tellus, og overlader det til Kong Clair at bekæmpe ondskaben. Og solen står op, og Helen er blevet “svanger” og barnet skal hedder GRY.
Afsnittene indledes med nogle ret hjemmestrikkede definitioner på: INERTIA, REVOLUTION (der sættes i modsætningsforhold til EVOLUTION), ETIK og ETISK, ONDSKAB, RELIGION, HOMONATICUM. Hertil kommer at “modstandsbevægelsen” (Kong Clair m.flg.) umiskendeligt bliver landsat i et fortidigt Grækenland … Athen; Kulturens og Demokratiets Vugge, sat overfor Den Gule Fare og Ondskabens Akse, forbandede Xerxes og perserne, og onde kommunister: – Dr. Zarkov (direkte planket fra Jens Lyn)
221 sider – hermed udfordret 🙂
På omslagets forklap står der: “Forfatterens debutbog “HOMONATICUM” er den spændende og uhyggelige beretning om … Truslen Mod De Menneskelige Værdier. Bogen blev rost af enig dagspresse og sat på linie med Orwels (sic) “1984” og Huxleys “Fagre nye Verden”. Og så nogle blurps fra Flemming Chr. Nielsen, Jyllandsposten (der tør tage ordet “science fiction” i sin mund (eller ihvertfald sin skrift)), Amtsavisen Randers: “… Vi skal ikke afsløre noget, læs selv, det er en sag om liv og død for det moderne menneske […], og (no surprise) Klaus Aasleff DET UKENDTE, der blandt andet skriver, at “øjnene glædes ved ordenes leg. Meander er en dommedagsprofet […]”
En kritisk analyse er næsten umulig at gennemføre. Dog – ét sted giver forfatteren sig selv væk (thi det er ikke mit indtryk at der så langt fra ham og så til fortællerstemmen), nemlig da “ondskabens problem” påpeges som værende “den dialektiske materialisme”, der driver “åndeligheden og dermed værdierne ud af det menneskelige”. Jeg mangler måske lige at få noget at vide om, hvori “det åndelige” består samt en definition på “værdierne”: – bål og ridderturninger og syngende sværd og konger og dronninger?
Science Fiktion Cirklen udgav for nogle år siden Niels E. Nielsens aldrig udgivet ungdomsværk “Den beske magt” – og det er dog nogenlunde det værste lort, jeg har læst næst efter “Battlefield Earth”. Men “Den beske magt” er mere interessant i sin nedgroede Stalin-kritik end “HOMONATICUM”. Og sidstnævntes undertitel er ganske svær at bære: “En eventyrlig beretning” – i så fald er man dæleme’ asketisk anlagt 🙂
Bemærk at rytteren i forgrunden har en kappe med skabelonen til en “mæander”:
– samt at de supergalaktiske rumskib åbenbart har brug for landing-guidance. Mæander! F.eks. “Arne Meander”.
Jeg ved sgu’ ikke lige, hvor jeg skal placere sådan en kanut af en bog. Var den i personlig eje, så nok direkte i “Restaffald”. Men som det er vil jeg høfligt levere den tilbage til Statsbiblioteket med et “tak for ingenting”.

Jeg mangler måske lige at få noget at vide om, hvori “det åndelige” består samt en definition på “værdierne”: – bål og ridderturninger og syngende sværd og konger og dronninger?
Science Fiktion Cirklen udgav for nogle år siden Niels E. Nielsens aldrig udgivet ungdomsværk “Den beske magt” – og det er dog nogenlunde det værste lort, jeg har læst næst efter “Battlefield Earth”. Men “Den beske magt” er mere interessant i sin nedgroede Stalin-kritik end “HOMONATICUM”. Og sidstnævntes undertitel er ganske svær at bære: “En eventyrlig beretning” – i så fald er man dæleme’ asketisk anlagt 🙂
Bemærk at rytteren i forgrunden har en kappe med skabelonen til en “mæander”:
– samt at de supergalaktiske rumskib åbenbart har brug for landing-guidance. Mæander! F.eks. “Arne Meander”.
Jeg ved sgu’ ikke lige, hvor jeg skal placere sådan en kanut af en bog. Var den i personlig eje, så nok direkte i “Restaffald”. Men som det er vil jeg høfligt levere den tilbage til Statsbiblioteket med et “tak for ingenting”.

Yesterday my wife needed to head in to a jewelry store in Mill Creek to get a ring resized. I said I'd go if she drove and we'd bring our two dogs, take a walk, and make it a day. So, we walked this floating boardwalk trail that meanders through a large marsh area. So much nature here. #PNW #nature #walking #hiking #MillCreek #SnohomishCounty https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/trip-reports/trip_report-2024-06-27.161823284718

The last of the bluebells.
Along the clifftop walk at Harlosh there has been the most glorious display of these flowers. This was one of the last remaining groups. They resonate and charm.
Brodie is a keen walker and we go out every day. He snuffles and meanders his way along and often stops to take in some distant sight. He resonates too and is every bit as charming as the bluebells…

CBI Conducts Raids at Rights Activist Harsh Mander's Office, Home in Delhi
Central agencies have been under fire for focused attention on those who coincidentally are government critics, in the opposition or not aligned with the BJP's political project.

It seems @Mastodon is recreating legacy #socialMedia with a "#decentralisation ability". The #Fediverse being a vehicle on which to test it.
Decentralisation in M'don is often a smokescreen. The use of #CDNs is rife. Something like #GlutPlug/#I2PFS is needed for genuine #sustainability.
The trend?
"#MakeFediverseMastodon" — make it impossible to serve without a massive #datacenter. Thus forcing a return to #BigData, algorithmic feeds, #massSurveillance and overall repression.
