But there is another part of the story A few years earlier, in 1970, a storm eroded a mudbank on the Makah Reservation, near the far northwestern tip of Washington state, revealing ruins of an ancient village that had been buried by a mudslide. On 26 January 1700, a giant earthquake somewhere between magnitudes 8.7 and 9.2, struck the coast, creating a tsunami that wreaked havoc all the way from British Columbia to Northern California.

Researchers claim that there are hotspots on the surface of the Earth, which produce a thermal plume that rises through Earth's mantle until it eventually emerges as a volcano. Without better tomography, the plume debate is branching in new direction as scientists seek innovative new ways to test the plume theory.

The improved quality of the remote sensing that produces stunning graphics would allow scientists to monitor the ocean in real time, sharing data and improving the quality of everything from weather reports to marine species conservation. Some of the available sources of information that include, through use of satellite, acoustic, high-resolution sonar, and transmitters are described.

The author offers an experimental fiction, whose narrative contains absolutely no character interaction or dialogue, and one can almost see his fingerprints where he steers the story away from such interruptions.

The science fiction story based on the nutrition researchers who are making an effort to discover a 'dial-a-weight' pill that could program one's body to move naturally to any weight required, at least within a wide range, by taking just the right dose combination of medications. Weight creep results from biochemical treason, when something defeats the feedback mechanisms and causes the body's preferred weigh to inch upward, and hence two ways of overcoming this are presented.

One of my prized possessions is a key-chain pendant with a heart superimposed on a map of Greenland. It's a cheesy trinket, but it has real power. Each time I [...]

Distortion of memory is discussed by studying three categories namely bias, misattribution, and suggestibility, out of the seven basic types of memory imperfections described by Daniel L. Schacter. Suggestibility, the most interesting kind of memory distortion, that is similar to implanting false memory by accident or design is discussed to explain the ways in which memory can be distorted.

An analysis of the field of seismology, from its use to measure earthquakes to measuring the ferocity of a nuclear explosion, with particular attention paid to the field of forensic seismology. Forensic seismology can be used in a number of ways, from helping to calculate the time frame of an explosion and exactly what took place during an explosion, to tracking global climate change.

An analysis of the relatively new field of astrobiology and how it is attempting to put forward scientifically valid ideas of what extraterrestrial life might actually be like.

An analysis of the problems of global warming, the causes of global warming, and possible ways to help solve them. James A. Edmonds, of the Joint Global Change Research Institute at the University of Maryland, notes that the problem of global warming is enormous, pointing out that in order to just stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by the middle of this century would require the sequestration of almost 80 billion tons/yr of carbon dioxide, something that would take an enormous level of effort from everybody on Earth.

One of several strong indicators that ice floated on top of a liquid ocean are the chaos regions on the surface of Europa. They look like pack ice that has broken, moved away and refroze.

An analysis of presentations at an international conference on Mars polar science and exploration uses satellite photos to show features on Mars that could be caused by erosion. Iceland may be the closest climate on Earth in compassion to prehistoric Mars.

The article reports that South Pacific volcano called Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai exploded on 15 January 2022, in the Kingdom ofTonga., and produced a giant thump heard at least as far away as Fiji, picked up worldwide by instruments designed to monitor for nuclear tests. Topics include Vulcanologists rate eruptions on an eight-point explosivity index in which each one-point increase in power; and lava was blown out of the water and into a giant plume of volcanic ash, remained underwater.

The article reports that scientists appears to apply to a popular class of traffic safety messages intended to reduce accidents by warning drivers about the inherent dangers of driving. Topics include driving on the freeway and traffic fatality message teamed up with Jonathan Hall, an economist at the University of Toronto; and messages to appear on dynamic message signs such as advising about road construction, traffic delays with warnings from Texas Department of Transportation.

The article presents the discussion on sensitive issues, disinformation, and misinformation focusing on reacting to COVID and vaccines.
