    Yes, it is splitting (rifting, slowly) but this crack isn’t part of the splitting. We see similar type cracks in AZ, USA and other places where there is no active rifting. Here some info abt how cracks form in those areas.

    All of Oslo looks like this right now. Grey, cold, wet and with huge piles of dirty snow draining away. All of winter’s dog turds and cigarette ends are surfacing again. They don’t talk about «Oslo in the springtime» do they?!

    Sorry folks - this is complete and utter rubbish. Tried it now. Wrong kind of needle? Wrong kind of thread? Wrong kind of hand? Anyway - sorry for wasting your time.

    Seriously? I mean, can it wait until morning to try it out.

    This is exactly the point - local variations do NOT reflect the global temperature. we have had several examples this winter.

    Despite cold conditions over Europe and a large part of Asia and a weak La Niña in the tropical East Pacific, March 2018 globally was the third warmest (after 2016 and 2017). Data based on reanalysis from

    This! And with far fewer observations and far less knowledge of the systems we are observing. Inge Lehmann’s discovery of the inner core is just mind-blowing. The insight and intuition needed to interpret those small wiggles on paper seismograms ...

    So interesting to read articles by the top earthquake professionals of the early 20th century. No big data, no high-performance computing. They had to really think about the data at hand.
