#A2A - Connecting lands and people across the #Algonquin to #Adirondacks region
"For a resilient, ecologically connected #A2ARegion that sustains a full range of native #wildlife and enhances people’s quality of life for generations to come.
The time to reconnect is now.
Nature cannot survive on isolated islands. Between #AlgonquinPark and the Adirondacks, a crisis of fragmentation is unfolding.
Roads, development, and borders have severed ancient migratory pathways, trapping wildlife in habitat pockets too small to sustain genetic diversity, find food, or adapt to a rapidly changing climate. When we isolate nature, we weaken the very systems that sustain us.
The A2A region is a continental lifeline. As one of the last remaining large-scale, #IntactForest and #wetland linkages in #EasternNorthAmerica, this corridor represents our best opportunity to ensure wildlife can move north–south across the #GreatLakes – #SaintLawrence system.
Our mission is to heal and reconnect these landscapes. We must repair these broken links to restore the interconnected web of biodiversity that sustains the health of our region and the resilience of the entire continent."

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🍄🪨 Researchers at the University of #Michigan pulled #water from gas wells deep under the #GreatLakes and found a dense #ecosystem.
The water has remained #underground since the #IceAge more than 11,000 years ago. The isolated #environment contains hundreds of fungal species alongside tiny #worms and #tardigrades.

#Meteotsunami or #MeteorologicalTsunami
This entry was posted on October 2, 2024 by Anne Helmenstine (updated on May 6, 2025)
"#ClimateChange is expected to lead to more frequent and intense storms, including thunderstorms and squalls. These #AtmosphericDisturbances generate #meteotsunamis, so a rise in storm activity may result in more frequent meteotsunamis in certain regions.
Key regions include:
- #MediterraneanSea: One of the most well-known meteotsunamis occurred in the #BalearicIslands in 2006, with waves reaching over 4 meters.
- #GreatLakes (U.S. and Canada): The Great Lakes experience meteotsunamis during periods of intense thunderstorms or pressure changes. In 1954, a meteotsunami struck Chicago, causing significant damage and claiming seven lives.
- #EastCoast of the United States: Meteotsunamis have been recorded along the eastern seaboard, especially in the Gulf of #Maine and #Massachusetts Bay.
- #AdriaticSea: A notable meteotsunami occurred in Vela Luka, #Croatia, in 1978, reaching 6 meters in height."Source [very spammy website. Looking for a better source]:

#RadioactiveWaste leakage would be threat to area: critic
By Doug Diaczuk The Chronicle-Journal Apr 22, 2025
"A radioactive waste specialist from the United States says #NuclearWaste disposal sites place a giant bullseye on an area, as well as all communities along the transportation route, and residents of Northern #Ontario should take notice.
"#KevinKamps, a radioactive waste specialist with #BeyondNuclear, a non-profit advocacy group in the United States, will be speaking in Thunder Bay at Environment North's annual meeting on Wednesday [April 23].
"Kamps has opposed several nuclear waste sites across North America, including a site in the #YuccaMountains in #Nevada and a site at #Kincardine in #Ontario at the #BruceNuclear Generating Station.
" 'That was a 20-year campaign all told, but we prevailed in the end,' Kamps said of the Kincardine site in an interview with The Chronicle-Journal.
"The Nuclear Waste Management Organization [#NWM] identified a site between #Ignace and #Wabigoon Lake as the location for a proposed deep geological repository [#DGR] for #SpentFuel from #Canadian #NuclearPower plants.
"Last summer, the #TownshipOfIgnace expressed a willingness to be the host community for the repository following a survey showing the majority of residents supported the site.
"But several #FirstNation communities have spoken out in opposition to the site, citing #environmental concerns and the safety of transporting spent fuel through the region.
"Kamps said if anything was to go wrong at the deep geological repository site it would be catastrophic: 'for all points #downstream, #downwind, up the #FoodChain, down the generations.'
" 'In your neck of the woods, what I find ironic is the current target in your area is just outside of the #GreatLakes basin and I think it is a raw political calculation to try to silence what has been more than a decade of U.S. congressional opposition to the #LakeHuronDump,' he said.
" 'Now magically a site has been chosen outside of the Great Lakes basin.'
"There are many safety concerns to take into consideration when it comes to nuclear waste, Kamps said, beginning with the transportation of nuclear material to the site itself.
" 'One of the most controversial aspects is the transportation component, because it makes it everyone's problem along those routes,' he said. 'So that is another part of our challenge, to educate communities that would be along the most likely transportation route, be it road, rail, or waterway.'
"Then there is the site itself, which Kamps said could be vulnerable to #ExtremeWeather, #NaturalDisasters, or even potential attacks.
" 'You had better know your geology really well because if and when this starts leaking from its containers into the geology, then it's a question of how long will it take to mix with underground waterflows and perhaps even surface waterflows,' he said. 'And then the risk flows with the water, and with the air.'
"For those opposed to such sites, Kamps said the best way to fight back is through the democratic process and engaging with government representatives at all levels.
"He cited the opposition to the #Kincardine site that was a 20-year fight and the role First Nations communities played.
" 'An important part of that was the #SaugeenOjibwayNation who asked good questions and in the end voted 86 per cent no to that dump coming into their community,' he said.
"In terms of what to do with nuclear waste from generating stations, Kamps said it should stay at the site of origin."

#NOAA: 4 tips to keep you safe during a #SnowSquall
December 4, 2024
"It’s that time of year to watch out for one of the most dangerous and underplayed winter hazards while on the road: Snow squalls.
"A snow squall is a brief period of intense snowfall and wind that leads to whiteout conditions, zero visibility, a possible flash freeze and dangerous traffic accidents. Snow squalls are most common in the northern U.S. — especially around the #GreatLakes — between the months of November and March."
