The government of #Germany posted this on the scary bird site:
#Freedom of the press must not be switched on and off at will. As of today, the #journalists below can no longer follow, comment or criticize us. We have a problem with that twitter.
Le Monde: Twitter suspend des comptes de journalistes : l’Union européenne menace le réseau social de « sanctions »
Twitter suspends journalist accounts: EU threatens social network with 'sanctions'
Just posted this 👇🏼 on the scary bird site.
Will see what happens.

If you are an Earth Scientist and new here you are going to want to do 2 things.
1. Go to the Earth Scientist on Mastodon list below and add your information to the form by using the link in the list.
2. Download the list as a .csv file (there’s a link on the page for that) and import it to your mastodon account in your settings. This will let you automatically follow all of the Earth Scientists! It’s easy! You may have to be on the desktop app and logged onto your server instance to do this.
This list is made possible by @allochthonous

Peer review, a huge waste of time, and therefore money ?
Figure 👇🏼 and excerpts taken from Aczel et al. 2021 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41073-021-00118-2
“…the total time reviewers globally worked on peer reviews was over 100 million hours in 2020, equivalent to over 15 thousand years. The estimated monetary value of the time US-based reviewers spent on reviews was over 1.5 billion USD in 2020 […] The numbers highlight the enormous amount of work and time that researchers provide to the publication system.”
(authors add: By design, our results are very likely to be under-estimates as they reflect only a portion of the total number of journals worldwide.)
QT Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO #USGS) about #MaunaLoa #volcano:
“Mauna Loa is no longer erupting. Lava supply to the fissure 3 vent on the Northeast Rift Zone ceased on December 10 and sulfur dioxide emissions have decreased to near pre-eruption background levels. Volcanic tremor and earthquakes associated with the eruption are greatly diminished […]
Spots of incandescence may remain near the vent, along channels, and at the flow front for days or weeks as the lava flows cool. However, eruptive activity is not expected to return based on past eruptive behavior.”

Terrible piece in Science, "Visa bureaucracy makes scientific conferences inaccessible for too many researchers"
Read:
https://www.science.org/content/article/visa-bureaucracy-makes-scientific-conferences-inaccessible-many-researchers
Two excerpts:
"I [a Norwegian researcher born in Iran] had been hoping to present my work at an upcoming international conference, in the country that hosts nearly all major global scientific meetings [ 🤔 ]. I had spent the past year working feverishly to obtain a visa. The process had been so drawn out that I had already missed two other conferences there."
"Many scholars born in ostracized countries face these drawn-out, oftentimes years-spanning processes when we need to travel. The obstacles take a toll on our professional development, our future opportunities, and our mental health. Conference organizers have a responsibility to address this. To truly foster inclusivity, meetings must be hosted in more open countries."

Just hardly any growth of #Arctic sea ice in the Barents Sea so far this cold season...
Compare the differences between the 1980s (purple lines) and last decade (white lines)... 😅

Excited to be handling my first editorial assignment for @wearetektonika. Hoping the reviewers will also be enthusiastic about contributing to the community and to truly free and open #science. #tectonics #StructuralGeology #OpenScience #doaj
Our paper on the #tectonics of this very remote area 👇🏼 in the #Atacama #desert is finally accepted for publication in EGU Solid Earth (will be Habel et al. 2022).
I'll say more when the article is online 😉

On 4 December, at 15:19 UTC, a strong #pyroclastic flow along the Sciara del Fuoco on #Stromboli #volcano reached the sea and generated a moderate #tsunami, hopefully not causing damage (according to INGV). Tide gauge in Ginestra recorded it with a delay of only a few minutes, and crest to crest amplitude of ~60cm.
Stromboli is an Italian very active volcano from the Aeolian islands in the Tyrrhenian sea (Mediterranean). Its activity, and more particularly hazards due to the pyroclastic flows, are monitored by INGV.
INGV reported about the tsunami: https://ingvterremoti.com/2022/12/05/stromboli-4-dicembre-2022-tsunami-si-o-tsunami-no/
And about the volcanic event itself: https://ingvvulcani.com/2022/12/05/cosa-e-successo-a-stromboli-il-4-dicembre-2022/
