@Doug_Bostrom 😊

I like this view taken from Mauna Kea summit. Mauna Loa is in the background with the eruptive volcanic plume. From the plume ash and gazes spread horizontally in the high atmosphere.

@claudiodsf Thanks Claudio. Which mobile app. ? Better not using the "official" mastodon app. I'm using metatext, and it seems to work, though I'm mainly posting from by computer using the https site.
By the way, any will to bring the SCARDEC twitter bot to mastodon? It would perhaps be the first to post MT solutions here.

My former PhD student Gino De Gelder has published a beautiful paper on the famed #Huon peninsula, in New Guinea, where Chappell and Shackleton have defined one of the first #Quaternary #eustatic curves ~40 years ago.

Worth reading if you are interested in marine terraces, #geomorphology, sea level variations, #eustasy, #landscape modelling, tectonic uplift, Quaternary #climatechange…

While the famous #keeling curve record of atmospheric #CO2 is currently interrupted because of #MaunaLoa eruption, listen how Scientists Measure Carbon Dioxide in the Air.

In the linked video, #Scripps scientist Ralph Keeling, the son of Charles David Keeling who started to develop the CO2 measurement at Mauna Loa observatory, explains how the measurement is done. The keeling curve is named from C.D. Keeling.

Amazing #USGS aerial view of the eruption on the northern flank of #MaunaLoa #volcano in #Hawaii. The main erupting fissure shows its high lava fountains in bright yellow. From there anastomosing rivers of fresh lava flow downslope and to the north. Crest and summit of Mauna Kea in the back.

Because of the #MaunaLoa eruption and lava flows, the #CO2 measurement equipment that maintains the famous #Keeling Curve lost power on Nov. 28 and is not currently recording data.

Citing their post: "The Keeling Curve is considered the icon of scientific evidence that human activities are altering the planet’s #climate. It has provided incontrovertible evidence that the amount of [atmospheric] gas carbon dioxide has risen far above any levels experienced on Earth for at least three million years […] Researchers at #Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which established the Keeling Curve record at the site in 1958, are exploring options regarding the relocation of measurement equipment."

@RaphaelGrandin I had a hard time figuring out what was visible on this radar image and from what angle.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, it only shows part of the #MaunaLoa summit #caldera, its southern part. The very visible crack is not the one currently erupting which is located to the NE outside the radar image. But, may be, it was that fissure that fed the lava lake?

The small volcanic cone in the middle of the fissure was there before current eruption.The broad enlighten (white) zone crossing the image from left to right is the steep western caldera wall. LOS on the map roughly outlines the view angle of the radar image.
