  6. Ukraine's armed forces get Dovbush T40 drone capable of reaching Siberia

    A new drone can remain in the air for almost a day

    The Dovbush T40 has a wingspan of nearly 5 meters and can remain airborne for more than 24 hours. Its operational range is sufficient to strike targets beyond the Urals and in Russia’s Siberia.

  7. "Ukraine may be planning a massive military campaign against Siberia. It targets Russia's most vulnerable spot and most important chokepoints - a series of rail bridges and tunnels in Siberia and the Russian Far East. What used to only be a pipe dream is now being made possible by new advances in long range drone technology. ..."

  8. Verdict: 🟠 UNCONFIRMED / likely embellished. The strategic background is genuine, which makes the story sound very plausible, but the spectacular part — #Ukraine tracking a #NorthKorean missile #Train across #Siberia & detonating its warheads? — currently lacks the official corroboration

  9. Siberia's growing methane threat could offset 20% of global methane reduction targets by 2050

    The #Arctic is warming at an accelerating pace. As #permafrost thaws across vast areas and wildfires become more frequent, large amounts of #methane (CH4) are being released. Together, these changes are reshaping the region's #GreenhouseGas emissions and further intensifying climate change.

    In a study published in Science on August 6, an international team led by Professor Liu Yi from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics #IAP of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated how #CH4 #emissions in #Siberia are evolving under #ClimateChange. The study showed how atmospheric circulation promotes #wildfire activity and #methanogenesis and thereby drives the recent sharp rise in CH4 emissions.

  13. Reminder 2018 A red “blood rain” in Siberia’s Norilsk likely wasn’t an omen: officials say wind blew iron-oxide (rust) residue from an industrial site into rainwater, staining cars and puddles. Red rain can occur when dust storms mix with iron-rich particles. 🌧️🟥 #News #Siberia #Weather #Science livescience.com/62999-siberian

  18. Gateway to the #underworld: The enormous #permafrost '#megaslump' in #Siberia that keeps getting bigger

    The growing "gateway to the underworld," officially known as the #BatagayMegaslump, is the largest megaslump in the world and exposes permafrost layers that are 650,000 years old.

    By Sascha Pare
    published September 13, 2024

    "The 'gateway to the underworld' is a colossal, expanding crater in Siberia's permafrost. It is officially called the #Batagay (also spelled #Batagaika) crater or megaslump and formed when a portion of hillside in the #YanaUplands collapsed in the 1970s.

    "However, the crater wasn't discovered until 1991, when satellite images revealed a rounded cliff face towering over a huge depression in the frigid landscape.

    "The Batagay crater is the largest megaslump in the world, measuring 3,250 feet (990 meters) wide as of 2023. The cliff face at the top of the formation, or headwall, stands 180 feet (55 m) high.

    "When it opened, the gateway exposed layers of permafrost that had been frozen for up to 650,000 years — the oldest permafrost in Siberia and the second-oldest in the world, after relict ground ice in #Canada's #YukonTerritory that is about 740,000 years old. Recently, researchers found that the gateway is expanding annually by about 35 million cubic feet (1 million cubic meters), with the depression sinking further into the ground and exposing new layers of ancient permafrost.

    "The headwall of the gateway is also retreating at a rate of 40 feet (12 m) per year due to permafrost thaw, discharging massive amounts of ice and sediment into the crater, according to a 2024 study. Some of this melt material may remain in the crater, but #sediment and ice also washes into the #BatagayRiver valley at the far end of the gateway, researchers noted in the study.

    "The permafrost in this region is 80% ice, which is likely why the hillside slumped in the first place, Thomas Opel, a paleoclimatologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany who has studied the gateway to the underworld, previously told Live Science.

    "The gateway sits in a landscape of larch and birch #woodlands that became the target of #deforestation from the 1940s onward. Deforestation caused the #topsoil to rapidly erode and expose the underlying permafrost, which — due to its icy composition — melted more quickly than if it had been richer in sediments. Significant melting during the following decades caused the hillside to disintegrate and collapse, Opel said."
