  1. What places on Earth are most resilient to global catastrophic risk? Our new review in Global Challenges is the first study to look at this across nuclear war, near-Earth objects, large volcanic eruptions, cyberattacks, high altitude electromagnetic pulse, geomagnetic storms and pandemics.

    Australia is plausibly the most resilient place, but even it is reliant on trade for fuel, medicine and fertiliser. There is no place on Earth which is a complete refuge.

    Four factors appeared most consistently: geographic isolation, self-sufficiency in food production, governance quality (democratic institutions, low inequality, low corruption, social cohesion) and decentralisation. The first two are largely fixed. The last two are modifiable through policy, improve resilience against every category of catastrophe we examined, and also make societies better places to live. All of them are currently trending the wrong way, which is bad, but also means we can work towards a more resilient and more livable society at the same time.

    A VEI 8 event is the highest category on the volcanic explosivity scale. It describes a supervolcano eruption that releases more than 1,000 cubic kilometers of material in a single event.

  12. 🌋🌍 A major eruption of the #Yellowstone #supervolcano is statistically unlikely to happen for thousands of years despite frequent media speculation.

    An analysis details how geological monitoring works and what would occur if the #volcano became active. The primary global concern involves the massive volume of ash released into the #atmosphere which could temporarily cool the #climate and impact global #food systems.

  17. Scientists Found Small Volcanoes That Could Trigger Catastrophic Eruptions

    Geologists have discovered a hidden network of "Petit-Spot" volcanoes that were previously thought to be dormant. These small but volatile engines have the potential to trigger a domino effect, leading to a catastrophic global eruption.

  20. NZ's Out There Learning YouTube channel has an excellent new video on NZ's Taupo supervolcano.

    That's in case you needed a reminder of how colossally violent past eruptions of this volcano have been, and a reminder that it's still active and magma is gradually building under the lake.

  26. (2/4) Even when two catastrophes cause similar global yield losses, their effects on trade are dramatically different.

    Abrupt sunlight reduction (#NuclearWar, #supervolcano) concentrates damage in high-latitude major exporters → severe trade disruption

    Global infrastructure loss spreads damage more evenly → less trade chaos

    Why? Because the countries that get hit hardest in nuclear winter scenarios (#US, #Canada, #Russia, #Ukraine) are the same ones that feed the world.
    In a 37 Tg nuclear war scenario, most countries lose 50-100% of food imports. Australia becomes essentially the only major wheat exporter left standing.
