Eruptions

Another tidbit from AGU…

I was chatting with a fellow from AVO and he called the simultaneous eruptions of Kasatochi, Cleveland and Okmok a “once in a millennia” event. So, enjoy it!

He also mentioned that the Kasatochi eruption released the most sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere since the 1991 Pinatubo eruption … but we had an idea of that already.

And who knew that there has been uplift at Uturuncu in Bolivia? I sure didn’t, but Steve Sparks does.

 

More to come later this week when I can go to all the Chaiten posters.

    The Smithsonian gives the height of the volcano at 6008 meters or 19,711 feet.

    I should have mentioned that it is the height of the “Uturuncu in Bolivia” that is over 6000 meters (almost twenty-thousand feet high). There must be a massive amount of pressure under there to be raising this mountain.

    And as far as simultaneous eruptions – weren’t there a lot of major caldera eruptions in Kamchatka about 40,000-42,000 years ago?

    So, if a large amount of sulfur dioxide has been released, can we expect cooling in the Northern Hemisphere? I recall that Pinatubo resulted in measurable cooling due to the SO2 effects.

    S and P’s rating definitely should once and for all waken the United states of america to the actual fact that their own governmental officials are absolutely some of the most crappy, overpaid collection of dummies that ever graced our governmental world, shame on them.

    There are ways to discuss the many problems and sadnesses of of our country and culture without making generalizations about entire groups of people based on their appearance or based on their race. I know that there is a fine line between making an observationyes, lots of fat people and lots of bleached blonde women with muscular menbut it is not always the case the the judgments and assumptions that we make from their appearances are true. As I write this I find it sounding incredibly cliched and trite. But I was really rather disgusted by this piece of writing and wish that it had been written in a way that, if it had to take an ultimately negative tone, was able to direct blame more towards structural and societal frameworks that are creating the situations Alexi is observinginstead of criticizing the choices and aesthetics of complete strangers.

    The diminishing of the Us credit scoring should be a wake up call to us all.

    and she’ll probably be pumping out a few …miglets that we the tax payers will have to feed, educate and ultimately incarcerate. Of course she’ll spend a large chunk of that tax payer money on renting expensive crap from Rent To Own and “getting muh hair did”. Makes me sick.

    Hmm it seems like your column did not show my first post (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just shorten it up what I posted and say, I’m having fun on your essay. I as well am an aspiring writer but I’m still new to this. Do you have any recommendations for noob column writers? Love you!

    I think that everything that halim posted and has on his web page is lies. He seems like an uneducated moron,arrogantlooking and refusing to see how racist he really is and it is the reason why racism will exist forever.Halim anyone can spit out lies on a webpage and I will pray for you and your small mind.

    I am always sating hotels and the difference in quality and customer service still amazes me. I have done a lot of travelling through business and pleasure and the difference to me between a nice stay and a great stay is welcoming staff. There is nothing worse than checking into a hotel to find that the staff can’t even really be bothered to servce you and show you too your room. I have also stayed at hotels where items of my personal belongings have gone missing after the maids have gone through the place.
