According to the UNESCO Tsunami Programme there is a 100% chance of a tsunami of at least 1 meter in height occurring in the Mediterranean in the next 30-50 years [1]. The French centre for tsunami alerts (CENALT) has a 15 minute warning window to send an alert message to the authorities [2]. 1/4

Alarm triggering would depend on evaluation of spatial consistency of the data [3]. This movie is created with an automated- and fast workflow. The data is gridded using sensors situated across France, Belgium and the UK. The resulting map demonstrates consistent recording of a remote earthquake 2/4

Is global warming accelerating? A paper in this months Geophysical Research Letters hit the headlines. The authors observe through detailed statistical analysis and adjustments for known effects (e.g. El Niño, volcanism) a statistically significant acceleration of global warming. 1/4

We can not determine with statistics if such an increase will persist ('stationarity condition'). To illustrate this the plot also shows Kalman filtered data at two different gains. The blue curve shows only longer term variations. The red curve shows also the shorter term variations. 3/4

The European Directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide states that "Monitoring is essential to assess whether injected CO2 is behaving as expected, whether any migration or leakage occurs, and whether any identified leakage is damaging the environment or human health." 1/5

The 4D seismic data from the Sleipner CCS site is made available by the Sleipner Group for the purpose of encouraging innovative uses of the data and knowledge development of CO2 storage technology License: co2datashare.org/landing_page... 4/5

In this movie we split the 2010 Sleipner CO2 site seismic data in a fine (warm coulors) and coarse scale (cold colours) using mollifier functions. The injector well is coloured in depth in grey scale. The two scales are offset, with the coarse scale signal confined deeper than the fine scale. 2/5

On the 15th of January at 15:28 local time (UTC time +1) a likely gas explosion caused several buildings to collapse in the historic centre of Utrecht. Luckily only 4 persons suffered minor injuries. It was clear though that people were shocked and didn't not now the best respond.

The figure shows waveforms recorded by 6 infrasound sensors located 4 kilometres away from Utrecht. The different arrival times of the sharp first break is consistent with the direction of the blast site. Possibly a slower, low frequent arrivals with opposite polarity follows the blast.

Major explosions can cause injury due to people looking out windows in response to a light flash or a fire preceding the blast. A blast wave can also be followed by a dangerous blast wind that rushes in to fill the void left by the expanding blast wave.

The perimeter ABCD on REM data near Ermelo is interpreted as a Roman camp [1] although its dimensions are suspiciously close to metric (AB=201m, BC=299m). On the original data it is hard to see if 1930s forest roads cut the ditch and bank. Optical dating results are expected early this year. #Roman

A narco-state is a country where legitimate institutions become penetrated by the power and wealth of the illegal drug trade. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt inherited from his opium trading grandparents (Mary Aspinwall Roosevelt and Warren Delano II) smuggling opium using fast "tea" clippers[1]

In 1614 the later governor-general of the Dutch East Indies, Jan Pieterszoon Coen, is famously to have uttered the words: "There can be no trade without war, and no war without trade." [1,2] Out of context this words are easily misinterpreted as a general reflection on global trade.

Rather than showing the sculpture we show the sculpture. Thus we celebrate the famous, instead of the infamous. [1] Amitav Ghosh. Smoke and Ashes: Opium’s Hidden Histories, 2024. 416 pp. ISBN 978-0374602925 [2] www.economist.com/finance-and-... [3] archive.org/details/janp...

The sculptor of this statue, Ferdinand Leenhoff the brother-in-law of Édouard Manet, faces the viewer in the painting Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe. A 1943 study made during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands concluded that Coen was just meting out justice following 17th century practice [6].

Out of context this words are easily misinterpreted as a general reflection on global trade. However, in a letter to the VOC's Lords Seventeen he requested money and military resources to set up a monopoly in clove trade by preventing the local Banda inhabitants to trade with the English.

During the Quasi-war (1797-1801) French privateers took American vessels. The disputed legality of this privateering resulted in court cases running well into the 20th century. Similarly, the U.S.A. may be in morally and legally troubled waters due to strikes against vessels in international waters.
