MISO has successfully navigated another blast of arctic winter weather:
⚡ MISO’s peak demand reached 108 GW, coming just 1 GW shy of our all-time winter record.
⚡ MISO South made history, setting a new winter peak of 33.1 GW!
As temperatures begin to rise, we’re sending a big thank-you to our teams, member utilities and fellow operators for ensuring reliability during this period of heightened demand.

🚫 What NOT to Do in the SWRO Industry 🚫
⚠️ Ignore Pre-Treatment: Skipping or poorly managing pre-treatment can lead to failures.
💸 Neglect Cost-Benefit Analysis: Don’t focus on cost alone without considering long-term efficiency.
🌿 Overlook Environmental Impact: Improper brine disposal can cause ecological harm.
Ensure a successful and sustainable SWRO operation by avoiding these common errors!

#Rosneft subsidiary RN-Vankor shares this recent photo highlighting the arrival of the 'polar night' on the Taymyr Peninsula in the East Siberian Arctic, along with the first days of the calendar winter. It describes the 'polar night' as "a unique natural phenomenon that lasts 45 days. For northerners, this is a time of severe frosts, long twilight and bright northern lights".
RN-Vankor is leading the development of #Rosneft's East Siberian Arctic mega-project #VostokOil.
Hawaiian Volcano Update: Kīlauea’s South Caldera Quaking, April 11, 2024
This past week, earthquakes on Kīlauea concentrated beneath the south caldera area, though only reached magnitude 2.6 despite the region exhibiting accelerated inflation for 3 weeks. Seismic counts across the whole volcano exceeded 100 events yesterday, similar to the previous cycle peak on March 31st but above the average last week of around 50 events per day. However, these numbers are still low compared to the main pulse of magma intrusion into the Southwest Rift in late January and early February, when over 3,000 events occurred within one week. For now, the volcano continues to recharge and pressurize, building towards its next possible eruption.
Volcanic gas emissions, the main current threat to residents and visitors, remain relatively low around 60 tonnes of SO2 per day, though are still a concern for sensitive individuals nearby. Maunaloa is also still quiet with few earthquakes and sustained slow inflation as it recharges with magma, and remains at the lowest USGS warning level.
As usual we review the monitoring signals, imagery and reports available courtesy of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, annotating the presentation on screen as we go and discussing live viewer questions. We also reprise a short summary of the events of March 27 to April 11, 1868, which included two eruptions on Maunaloa, two eruptions on Kīlauea, caldera collapses at both volcanoes, the largest earthquake ever felt in Hawaiʻi at magnitude 7.9 and two others of magnitude 7, landslides and cliff collapses, and two sequences of tsunamis all within 16 days. Despite some uncertainty in the details, this sequence of events comprises a worst-case scenario for which our island communities must prepare.
As a bonus this week, we present a shortened recap and review of the USGS presentation on “A Brief History of Kīlauea’s Southwest Rift Zone” from Volcano Awareness Month in January 2024.

🚀 Big Update! 🌊
It's been a long time in the making but I have finally completed a new webGIS platform at http://coastsat.space with updated satellite-derived time-series of shoreline change created with #CoastSat and the #Landsat archive. This dataset provides insights on coastal dynamics from 1984 to 2024. Go explore and see if there are any recent changes at your local beach!
(view it on a large screen, not smartphone)
The time-series include sandy beaches in #Australia, #NewZealand, #Japan, #Hawaii, #California, #Mexico, #Peru, #Chile and US East Coast (#Deltaware to #Texas). I’ve reprocessed them to 2024 and integrated the FES2022 global tide model for better tidal corrections and beach slope estimations. For interest in covering new regions or adding new datasets, feel free to reach out.
Check out this article for more info and use cases around the monitored coastlines:

Feedback is welcome on this new EO coastal platform.

CLIMATE CHANGE FACETS: MEGA TSUNAMIS Norte pole circle and Antarctica. Glaciers slabs and melting termafrost chunks falling into the ocean and creating huge wave surge
They are becoming more frequent, aumenting the sealevel and releasing mre CH2 and CH4 (methene), that is 80 times more potent greenhouse (#GHG) than CO2
Both CO2 and CH4, in additional of N2O, the "3 thieves" CHG are at record hights in the past 2 years
We are playing with a dice...

Ground uplift and magma accumulation under Svartsengi have continued at a similar rate in recent weeks. An estimation of the volume of magma that will likely be required to trigger a new intrusion or eruption has been calculated. The minimum volume required is estimated to be approximately 23 million cubic meters. If magma accumulation continues at a similar rate, this threshold could be reached by the end of January 2025. Therefore, all dangerous areas around Svartsengi are closed.

On this day in 1730: 1730 Valparaiso earthquake. The 1730 Valparaiso earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 9.1-9.3 and triggered a major tsunami with an estimated magnitude of Mt 8.75, that inundated the lower parts of Valparaiso. The earthquake caused severe damage from La Serena to Chillan, while the tsunami affected more than 1,000 km (620 mi) of Chile's coastline.
