SUMMARY:Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission
DESCRIPTION:The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission is a satellite altimeter jointly developed and operated by NASA and CNES\, the French space agency\, in partnership with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency (UKSA). \nThe objectives of the mission are to make the first global survey of the Earth’s surface water\, to observe the fine details of the ocean surface topography\, and to measure how terrestrial surface water bodies change over time. While past satellite missions like the Jason series altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon\, Jason-1\, Jason-2\, Jason-3) have provided variation in river and lake water surface elevations at select locations\, SWOT will provide the first truly global observations of changing water levels\, stream slopes\, and inundation extents in rivers\, lakes\, and floodplains. In the world’s oceans\, SWOT will observe ocean circulation at unprecedented scales of 15–25 km (9.3–15.5 mi)\, approximately an order of magnitude finer than current satellites. Because it uses wide-swath altimetry technology\, SWOT will almost completely observe the world’s oceans and freshwater bodies with repeated high-resolution elevation measurements\, allowing observations of variations. \nLinks:\nSurface Water and Ocean Topography at NASA.gov \nOcean Surface Topography from Space at NASA.gov \nCnes project Library at CNES.fr \nAVISO+ portal for SWOT

SUMMARY:Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki - eruptions June / July 2025
DESCRIPTION:Lewotobi is a twin volcano located in the southeastern part of the island of Flores\, Indonesia\, it has two peaks; the Lewotobi Laki-laki (Male Lewotobi) and Lewotobi Perempuan (Female Lewotobi) stratovolcanoes\, the more active Lewotobi Laki-laki is about 2.1 km northwest of the taller Lewotobi Perempuan. \nOn 21 March\, Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted\, sending ash clouds over 8 km high. Authorities raised the alert to the highest level\, and Jetstar canceled some flights to Bali. The eruption followed smaller ones since 13 March. One person was injured during the evacuations\, although the details reported were unclear. Bali airport remained open\, but seven international flights were canceled. The geological agency warned of lava floods and continued activity. Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted again on 18 May\, prompting authorities to raise Indonesia’s highest volcanic alert level. Lewotobi Laki-laki erupted on 17 June\, sending ash clouds 11 km high\, prompting authorities to raise Indonesia’s highest volcanic alert level again\, with a plume visible from a distance of 90 km to 150 km. Multiple flights were cancelled due to the amount volcanic ash released into the atmosphere. Two major eruptions occurred on 7 July\, ejecting debris as far as 8 km away and producing pyroclastic flows that reached 5 km from the crater and an ash cloud 13 km high. At least 24 flights were cancelled in Bali. \nLinks:\nIndonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki spews 11 kilometre high ash cloud after eruption \nAlert raised to the highest level after Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano erupts \nIndonesia volcano spews ash more than 6 miles into sky\, dozens of Bali flights canceled \nLewotobi – Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi

SUMMARY:Zeebeving Kamtsjatka 2025
DESCRIPTION:De aardbeving bij schiereiland Kamtsjatka op 30 juli 2025 om 11:24 (lokale tijd) was een beving met een magnitude 8\,8 op de schaal van Richter\, op 19 kilometer diepte. \nHet epicentrum van de beving lag in open zee op zo’n 130 kilometer van de Russische kust. De aardbeving heeft tot tsunamiwaarschuwingen geleid in onder meer Rusland\, Japan\, de Verenigde Staten\, China\, Hawaï en Ecuador. De hoge golven hebben ook Japan bereikt en in Hawaï waren evacuaties. Er zijn geen slachtoffers gemeld\, wel was er een tsunami die de Russische havenplaats Severo-Koerilsk onder water zette. Er volgden naschokken met een magnitude tot 6\,9. De Kljoetsjevskaja Sopka\, een vulkaan op het schiereiland Kamtsjatka en een van de hoogste vulkanen ter wereld\, barstte uit als gevolg van de beving. Ook de Krasjeninnikov vulkaan op het schiereiland barstte enkele dagen later op 3 augustus 2025 voor het eerst in 475 jaar weer uit. Hetzelfde gebied was op 4 november 1952 getroffen door een aardbeving met magnitude 9\,0. \n\nLinks:\nZware aardbeving Kamtsjatka \n2025 Kamchatka Peninsula\, Russia Earthquake \nZware beving bij Russisch schiereiland Kamtsjatka\, tsunamiwaarschuwing Japan \nTsunami zet Russische havenstad onder water na zeldzaam zware aardbeving \nM 6.9 – 147 km SE of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky\, Russia \nM 8.8 – 2025 Kamchatka Peninsula\, Russia Earthquake \nM 7.8 – 127 km E of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky\, Russia \nDisaster averted (just)

SUMMARY:Vesuvius bekendste uitbarsting (79) / Vesuvius Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:De bekendste eruptie van de Vesuvius was die van 24 en 25 augustus in het jaar 79 en was de gewelddadigste uitbarsting die tot nu toe plaatsvond. \nDe top van de vulkaan explodeerde en de Romeinse steden Pompeii en Stabiae werden volledig bedolven onder as en puimsteen\, terwijl een pyroclastische golf Herculaneum verwoestte. Ook verspreidden giftige gassen als koolstofmono-oxide (CO) zich door Pompeii. Rond 10 duizend mensen werden gedood\, slechts 2000 lichamen zijn teruggevonden. Uit recent wetenschappelijk onderzoek is gebleken dat mensen levend werden gekookt\, “gezandstraald” door de gloeiend hete aswolk en vervolgens levend ontvleesd. De hersenpan explodeerde doordat de temperatuur van het superhete gas tussen de 500 en 550 graden Celsius bedroeg. Andere uitbarstingen: 1631 (bijna even zwaar als de uitbarsting van 79)\, 1794\, 1826\, 1906\, 1913\, 1926\, 1929 en 1944. Deze waren minder spectaculair en eisten minder slachtoffers dan de uitbarsting in 79. \nLinks:\nTe ziek om uit Pompeï te vluchten voor vulkaanuitbarsting: DNA-analyse lost 90 jaar oud mysterie op

SUMMARY:2025 Afghanistan earthquake / Aardbeving Afghanistan augustus 2025
DESCRIPTION:Klik op afbeelding om te lezen\nOn 31 August 2025\, at 23:47 AFT (19:17 UTC)\, a Mw 6.0 earthquake struck Nangarhar and Kunar provinces in Afghanistan\, near the border with Pakistan. More than 1\,100 people were killed and more than 3\,500 others were injured. \nThe epicenter of the quake was located in Nurgal District\, Kunar Province. It had a hypocenter 8 kilometres (5 miles) beneath the surface\, and the shaking had a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of IX (Violent) in Nurgal. Several geological and structural factors led to a relatively heavy impact for the earthquake’s relatively moderate size\, with around 3\,000 deaths\, 4\,000 injuries and 8\,000 collapsed homes; almost all of the casualties and destruction occurred in five districts of Kunar Province\, where almost all buildings were damaged or destroyed\, with nearby provinces also suffering damage and casualites. It was the deadliest earthquake to affect Afghanistan since 1998. Another earthquake\, the second within a week\, has hit Afghanistan on Tuesday 02 September as the nation was already reeling from a devastating quake over the weekend. Tuesday’s magnitude 5.2 tremor hit near Jalalabad\, which was also the epicenter of Sunday’s quake. Rescuers are struggling to reach the remote\, mountainous area. Entire villages have been destroyed and it’s feared the death toll could rise further\, with many people feared trapped under the rubble. The largest aftershock measured Mw 5.6\, and struck about 1 km (0.62 mi) northeast of the mainshock at 21:26 AFT on 4 September with a maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of VIII. \nLinks:\nUSGS earthquake catalog \nDodental na de aardbeving in Afghanistan loopt op tot meer dan 1100

SUMMARY:Hayli Gubbi : Uitbarsting in november 2025
DESCRIPTION:Door Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2025\nDe Hayli Gubbi (Amhaars: ሃይሊ-ጉቢ) is een schildvulkaan in de regio Afar in Ethiopië\, ligt in de Danakildepressie en maakt deel uit van de Erta Ale-bergketen. \nDe 493 meter hoge berg ligt in een gebied dat weinig bestudeerd is door vulkanologen. Hij werd tot 23 november 2025 beschouwd als een slapende vulkaan\, want de laatste uitbarsting die bij het Global Volcanism Program bekend was\, dateerde van voor het Holoceen\, dat zo’n twaalfduizend jaar geleden begon; er kunnen daarna wel onopgemerkte uitbarstingen geweest zijn. In de omgeving liggen actieve vulkanen\, waaronder de Erta Ale\, die een lavameer vormt. Hoewel er geen uitbarstingen van de Hayli Gubbi bekend waren\, toonden satellietbeelden gestolde lavastromen die wezen op activiteit in de afgelopen honderden jaren. In juli 2025 barstte de Erta Ale uit en onderzoek gaf aan dat magma van die vulkaan op dertig kilometer diepte een intrusie had gevormd bij de Hayli Gubbi. Daar kwam de aarde iets omhoog en werden witte rookpluimen gezien\, zodat rekening werd gehouden met meer activiteit. De twee vulkanen liggen op dezelfde mantelpluim. Het gebied ligt in de Grote Slenk\, ook bekend als de Riftvallei\, waar de Afrikaanse Plaat zich aan het splitsen is en wegdrijft van de Arabische Plaat\, wat aanleiding geeft tot vulkanisme. Gedurende de uitbarsting van 2025 werd het nabijgelegen dorp Afdera door de uitbarsting bedekt met een deken van vulkanische as. Voor zover bekend zijn er geen dodelijke slachtoffers gevallen\, maar het vee\, dat van groot belang is voor de bevolking\, kan geen voedsel vinden door de aslaag. Er ontstond in enkele uren een aspluim van veertien kilometer hoog\, tot boven de hoogte van de burgerluchtvaart. Zo’n hoge kolom met een paddenstoelwolk is ongebruikelijk voor de regio en voor schildvulkanen. De uitbarsting was erg lawaaiig\, maar leidde niet tot seismische activiteit. De eerste waarschuwing voor de luchtvaart werd uitgegeven op 23 november om 14:55 UTC. Op de subtropische straalstroom trok de wolk snel naar het oosten\, waarbij de concentratie zwaveldioxide in de atmosfeer sterk verhoogd was. Op 23 en 24 november werd de wolk waargenomen boven de Rode Zee\, Jemen\, Oman en de Arabische Zee. De 24e bereikte de as Pakistan en India\, vierduizend kilometer oostelijker. Boven India bevond de as zich op de hoogte van het vliegverkeer; vliegtuigen die de wolk niet konden ontwijken\, moesten na de landing geïnspecteerd worden en vliegvelden werden gereinigd. De wolk trok verder over Bangladesh\, Myanmar en China\, koersend naar de Oost-Chinese Zee richting Japan. \nLinks:\nVulkaan in Ethiopië barst voor het eerst in duizenden jaren uit

SUMMARY:Earth’s Rotation Day / Aarde Rotatie Dag 2026
DESCRIPTION:January 8 is Earth’s Rotation Day\, the day commemorates when French Physicist\, Leon Foucault\, demonstrated the Earth rotates on its axis in 1851. \nTo prove his theory\, Foucault suspended a lead-filled brass sphere\, now called the Foucault Pendulum from the top of the Pantheon in Paris. He showed that the plane of the swing of the pendulum rotated relative to the Earth’s rotation. You can now see the Foucault Pendulum demonstrating the rotation of the Earth in science museums around the world. \nLinks:\nEarth’s Rotation Day: History and significance behind the day that celebrates the 24-hour phenomenon \nMegaconstructie veranderde mogelijk de rotatie van de aarde \nEarth Rotation Day 2026: 7 Fascinating Facts That Show Why This Day Matters

SUMMARY:#10April #InternationalDayOfVolcanoes #JournéeInternationaleDesVolcans #GiornataInternazionaleDeiVulcani #DiaInternacionalDeLosVolcanes – petition 2026
DESCRIPTION:Petition proposing an ‘International Day of Volcanoes’ to be observed officially by the United Nations and we are asking that the U.N. General Assembly please consider a resolution for establishing an ‘International Day of Volcanoes’ on 10th April every year. \nTanguy De Saint-Cyr\, owner of French volcano tour company\, that came up with the concept for an ‘International Day of Volcanoes’ and Jeannie Curtis\, a New Zealand technical writer and educator are proposing an ‘International Day of Volcanoes’ to be officially recognised and observed by the United Nations and ask that the General Assembly please consider a resolution for establishing an ‘International Day of Volcanoes’ on 10th April. The date of 10th April has no recognised international day and we propose this date for the following reason: On 10 April 1815 Gunung (Mount) Tambora in Indonesia erupted and generated massive pyroclastic flows and tsunami that instantly killed 10\,000 locals\, who were unaware of the danger. The massive eruption injected huge amounts of aerosols into the Earth’s stratosphere\, causing a global haze which reflected back the incoming sunlight and cooled our planet by half a degree (celsius). This affected the planet’s climate for three years\, causing crop failure and famine\, resulting in up to 60\,000 more human deaths globally – as well as affecting animals\, fauna and agriculture. Tambora is still the deadliest eruption in recorded history\, and 10th April is a date in which the people of the World can reflect upon an “International Day of Volcanoes’ \nLinks:\nSUPPORT a proposal to United Nations for an ‘International day of Volcanoes’ to be recognised on 10th April \nInternational Day of Volcanoes

SUMMARY:Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes 2026
DESCRIPTION:In April 2025\, the United Nations General Assembly designated 29 April as the International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes inviting all Member States\, organizations of the United Nations system and other relevant international organizations to collaborate on the commemoration. \nIn doing so\, the General Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and recalled the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030\, recognizing that disasters continue to undermine sustainable development. These commitments underscore that understanding disaster risk\, strengthening prevention and mitigation\, and improving preparedness and effective response are essential to protecting lives and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural hazards\, often striking without warning and causing devastating loss of life and long lasting social\, economic\, and psychological harm. Recent earthquakes in countries such as Myanmar and Afghanistan are stark reminders of how these events can destroy infrastructure\, displace entire communities\, and affect generations long after the ground stops shaking. Their impact is severe and measurable. Since 1900\, there have been at least 12 major earthquakes\, each of which killed more than 50\,000 people. Earthquakes also have substantial economic consequences\, accounting for more than a quarter of global disaster losses and causing trillions of dollars in damage over recent decades. Beyond direct destruction\, they can trigger fires\, tsunamis\, and landslides\, compounding damage across housing\, health\, education\, and livelihoods. Earthquake risk is driven by factors such as rapid urbanization in seismic areas\, weak or ageing infrastructure\, poverty\, inequality\, and poor enforcement of building codes—making risk informed development and resilient infrastructure essential. In acknowledgement of the grave consequences of these disasters\, the United Nations has established the International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes\, observed annually on 29 April\, and tasked the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) with facilitating its observance. The Day provides a moment to remember those lost and renew commitment to prevention\, preparedness\, and building back better\, in line with the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. \nLinks:\nWhen the ground shakes: Remembering victims and reducing future loss
