Why do submarine landslides occur around carbonate platforms and atolls? A new #GSABulletin study finds that weak, calcareous sediments can destabilize slopes—even at relatively low angles—highlighting an underestimated geohazard.

Earthquakes, tsunamis and eruptions get less attention in the Pacific than climate change
ESCAP analysis says 73% of the Pacific SIDS population is exposed to seismic hazards
Geohazard monitoring still runs on short-term projects, and lacks consistent funding

Why Geohazards Must Be Part of the Pacific’s Resilience Agenda
BANGKOK, Thailand, November 6 (IPS) - For years, global discussions of disaster risk in the Pacific have been dominated by climate change. Rising seas, intensifying cyclones and coastal erosion have rightly captured international attention. This focus, while warranted, should be complemented by greater recognition of geohazards, which are just as consequential and in many cases, more immediately devastating. Addressing this gap requires a more coordinated approach, supported by sustained investment and stronger partnerships, to foster cooperation and strengthen resilience across the Pacific.

On climate change, the Himalayas are the loudest fire alarm. Another place on Earth where migration away from it seems the only solution. How do you adapt to an unstable environment? In some places of the planet we know we can’t.

Unfortunately according to scientists the instability of the Himalayas is beyond adaptation. It appears to be another area of the planet where humans will have to migrate out of, such as the low lands, the highlands are also dangerous.

Heyo! Friends in humanitarian crisis response, emergency mgt, and collapse informatics: Anybody want to apply our design praxis to AI safety? The public is a bit more attuned to the weather/geohazard risks that we work on.

Cheryl has made a fine point. I, nor other safety professionals, have really said much about general safety precepts as they relate to AI, as opposed to the bullshit artist millenarian cultists that are happy to do so at length.
One of the reasons is "These tools are an active detriment to safety."
One of the reasons is "These tools are an active detriment to safety."
There are general safety precepts that can be applied to AI as much as to handling plutonium. I've been kind of wondering why @funranium hasn't said much about this.
The details are outside my experience, but the precepts seem to be unknown to those doing the experiments.
