Using NASA #satellites that track changes in Earth’s #gravity field scientists discovered that the pace of #groundwater depletion in the Central Valley has accelerated dramatically during the drought & now threatens to devastate underground water reserves. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2022-12-22/groundwater-depletion-is-accelerating-in-the-central-valley
@Snoweider Oh dear. Hope you are not totally bereft..

With the holidays upon us, ‘tis the season to share a reminder that all of Santa’s reindeer are female.
Males drop their antlers after the Autumn mating season. So since the world’s most celebrated reindeer are always depicted with spectacular antlers, we must assume that the intrepid team pulling the sleigh, presents & Ol’ St. Nicholas himself, is entirely female. #science

Finishing the year with some beautiful satellite imagery: three decades of spectacular subtidal dynamics at the southern tip of Moreton Island in south-east Queensland, driven by the slow drift of sand northward along Australia's east coast.

Arc! Thrilled to (finally) capture many of the Cascade Volcanoes in a single photo. Here are the Sisters to Mts Jefferson, Hood --and even Adams faintly on the horizon. On my site http://geologypics.com for free download.
What's on my mind? Nothing, nothing. I'm a little foggy today, it's also foggy outside, foggy. Alas.
I'm giddy because the days are starting to get longer and I've finished all my year-end chores. What's your excuse??????
@Popehat Murderball seems to be lost in thought about how it might get it's revenge.

Happy winter solstice to all who celebrate it. Wishing light and laughter and hopefully better times for all as the earth continues to spin into another year. 🌟
I took this photo a few days ago from the summit of Goatfell.

@XanIndigo Sounds like everyone I know!😂
If you wanted to listen to an audiobook of David Copperfield, the one narrated by Tadhg Hynes is terrific. That is all.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful.
But the volcanoes are so delightful.
If there's no place to go...
Check the webcams for the snow, for the snow.
food cravings 🇲🇽
@XanIndigo Unless you have a restaurant nearby that makes them better than you....
