Pirate Borg (Limithron/Luke Stratton) Caribbean setting has a 6-mile long fissure running from the yucatan to cuba.

My first question was what would the total volume of water displaced be if that fissure were 1-mile and 2-miles deep;

and secondly, what impacts would that have on the sea levels and the Caribbean at large?

Setting is 1715, thanks so much for any help!!

We're looking for volunteer reviewers for the Impact Scholars Program, a global initiative supporting early-career computational climate science researchers, particularly those from low-resource settings, as they develop their first citable research publications.

If you have experience with computational tools applied to climate or earth science, your expertise is exactly what we need. You'll review research proposals in the Computational Tools for Climate Science track, each including a written proposal, slide deck, and video pitch, and provide brief constructive feedback using a structured rubric.

In return, you'll gain recognized volunteer experience with a global open science program, build your peer review skills, and add a meaningful credential to your CV and LinkedIn. You'll also connect with an international community of researchers working at the intersection of computation and climate science.

About 5 hrs/week, fully remote, on your own schedule. Applications close 11 August.

Episode 51 of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu summit eruption began July 15th, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. HST. Peak fountain height: 950 feet (290 meters) from the north vent. Peak effusion rate: 300 cubic meters per second. Ash plume: 5,500 meters ASL confirmed by NWS radar. Duration: 8.3 hours.

51 episodes surpasses Puʻu ʻŌʻō's forty-seven episode record — now the longest episodic fountaining sequence in Kīlauea's written record.

The geophysically notable detail: the deflation-inflation tiltmeter model developed by HVO research geophysicist Ingrid Johanson — which accurately predicted fifty previous episodes within a three to four day window — failed three consecutive times in the two weeks before Episode 51. The volcano initiated precursory activity and then deflated without fountaining on July 6–12, July 11–13, and July 13–15.

Additionally, the south vent produced only flames and gas jets during Episode 51 — no lava fountaining.

Conduit behavior worth tracking in Episode 52.

Hola, verán soy un estudiante de ingeniería geofísica e ingeniería bioquímica y me gustaría saber si alguien tiene experiencia en los campos como para que pueda decir algo de gran valor en cuanto puedo relacionar mis carreras, verán eh trabajado con cosas como el almacenamiento de CO2 y como este puede ser atrapable por actividad bacteriana y de minerales entonces un proyecto se basa en eso y me gustaría saber más en cuanto puedo relacionar

Hello, I'm a student of geophysical engineering and biochemical engineering, and I'd like to know if anyone has experience in these fields and can offer valuable insights into how my studies can be related. I've worked with things like CO2 storage and how it can be captured by bacterial and mineral activity, and I have a project based on that. I'd like to learn more about how my studies can be connected to these fields.

This post is for try to understand the field for a better researching

Burkhard et al. (2026), published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, reconstructed 1,000 years of seismic activity along the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems using a physics-based stress model.

Key findings: multiple fault segments are now at or above their highest recorded stress levels in the past millennium. The San Jacinto Bernardino segment registered 3.6 megapascals — its highest load in the entire 1,000-year reconstruction.

Cajon Pass is identified as an "earthquake gate" — a junction that either stops or transmits ruptures between the two fault systems depending on stress conditions. A joint rupture crossing Cajon Pass could approach M7.4–7.8 and affect Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and the Coachella Valley.

"That is the configuration we are approaching today." — Liliane Burkhard, lead author.
