Arctic oil and natural gas resources - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The reason to go after Greenland is oil when the ice sheets melt. This is fully acknowledging that climate change is real.

Do you have the data you could share with me?

I guess mercurians could never make the claim that the heavens are concentric spheres.

Why were you in Mexico City?

Yep. They have a lot of earthquakes. The 2017 was much closer and caused a lot of damage. I was Jefe del Departmento de Sismología in the Instituto de Geofísica in Mexico City at the time.

Descartan que réplicas de sismo sean por volcán Expertos de la UNAM indican que los movimientos son normales y no porque esté naciendo un cráter en Ometepec, Guerrero

In 2012 there was a M 7 earthquake close to the Mexican one today. This was the news that I was in at the time. They really had problems with my name.

The M6.5 earthquake in Mexico was on the coast in Guerrero near the border with Oaxaca. Based on my experience there will be some damage close to it, like tvs falling to the floor. Mexico City people will feel it, but no damage. The alarm sounded before the seismic waves arrived in Mexico City.

I ran into Kip Thorne in the lunch room at Caltech. He said he did work with people from the Seismolab where I work before he retired. Nothing like meeting a hero.

Most if not all geophysics faculty at the R1 where I went to grad school would become ineligible for future federal funding if this ban passes congress. 🧪⚒️

Happy birthday, Marie Skłodowska-Curie! She was born November 7th, 158 years ago. Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel prize, and to this day the only woman to win two Nobel prizes, which where Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911.

US Immigration uses facial recognition. I didn't need my passport to enter the country. Is that bad or good?
