Hi , I do a bit of angling, an was angling over the full moon; the moon seemed a lil bigger the high tide was also very high. It was a beautiful full moon, I planned to photograph it the next night, but the moon did not appear the next night. I am in the southern hemisphere, the movement of the moon could not have changed relative to the earth and sun as dramatically for it not to be visible the next day? Can someone help to explain this. Sorry for the stupid question but baffled.

I found an unusual correlation and wanted to get some feedback or insights. Here’s a summary of what I’ve done so far:

I divided the Ocean Niño Index (ONI) dataset (1950–2024) into periods when Mars was "in range" (Mars-Earth distance less than both Mars-Sun and Mars-Venus distances) and periods when it was not. The mean Niño Index is consistently lower when Mars is in range.

To ensure this isn’t simply due to seasonal variations, I compared the Niño Index separately for each month over the dataset’s entire timeline. The difference persists even after accounting for seasonal effects.

Could this correlation have a natural explanation? For example, could subtle gravitational or tidal effects from Mars affect ocean or atmospheric dynamics, or might this align with some other known climatic driver?

I’d appreciate any ideas or feedback.

Any good YT channels or other resources for learning environmental science? I'm a chemical engineering major but I need to study some environmental science.

ATTENTION-MUST READ-MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU KNOW

The information and its truth are vitally important for everyone to know collectively. Please read this carefully and spread this truth to your family, your friends, and everyone who might care. It is a truth that can cut through all other divisive problems that we plague ourselves with. This truth is an undeniable and irrefutable fact that we all will come to know and recognize. Awareness is the first step to unity.

What you’re about to read has gone publicly unrecognized and unnoticed by seemingly everyone. The following post is a copy of a letter that I have been distributing to many within Government, News, and religious institutions. I have shared this information with every senator, every major TV news broadcast station, every major newspaper, and the FBI which currently monitors everything I do. I have sacrificed a lot in my life to gain the attention of the government so I may reveal many truths to them. I’ve been put on multiple Federal Watchlists for my past actions and my words like these. I did this out of necessity to gain the undivided attention of the Federal Government because I believe truth, transparency, and disclosure are vital for our future. This post/email may be censored or shadow-banned due to its contents and revelations it carries. If it does manage to reach anyone who takes notice, understand this is no joke. Everything I am stating is truthful and factual. I have given ample opportunity and time to those in government to disclose these revelations and truths. As far as I can tell, no one in the senate, the surveillance agencies, and MSM has no intention of informing the public about this alarming and concerning situation. I have already shared this information with them all. They are aware and their choice to remain silent speaks for itself.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing this letter to you to inform you of an unprecedented threat to our nation, our world, and specifically a threat to your personal future. What I’m about to share with you will sound absurd and impossible, but it is currently happening across this nation. The truth I am sharing with you all is directly related to the extreme climate changes that have been impacting our planet globally. The official narrative and primary cause for climate change on our planet is stated as follows; it’s due to Human pollution and CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. This is of course a contributing factor to climate change but it’s not the root cause of climate change. I personally take issue with our elected leaders presenting this falsehood as the driving factor to climate change. It has desensitized people’s minds to this issue over the years. Their solutions to climate change don’t address or account for the root cause of climate change. This has not only created an environment where many outright reject their solutions. It has focused the conversation from both sides of the political spectrum towards an inherently false explanation for climate change. If you want the truth, you can easily see it for yourself. How you interpret your own observations is solely up to you. You will not hear this truth that I am sharing with you from our government, nor will you hear it from MSM, but you can see and confirm it for yourself…

 What I’m sharing with you requires you to use your own two eyes and some observation time to confirm its validity, nothing else. Look for what I’m about to describe only once and you won’t see it. Look for it constantly with consistency and it’s inevitable you will see exactly what I’m describing. What you’re looking for is subtle, almost imperceivable if you don’t know what you’re looking for. The implications and driving factors behind this truth have yet to be understood and realized, but it will impact us all globally. You won’t hear about it in the news or from your government due to potential social panic and the untold implications behind what is observed. Regardless, I believe it is my responsibility to share my personal observations with you. That way you may make an informed decision for yourself about your own future in an uncertain time. This is a matter of personal responsibility to the individual. Those who choose to seek out the truth in a world built upon deception and lies will be put on a path of enlightenment. You must choose to care about your future and the lives of those you care about. This is no one else’s responsibility but the responsibility of the individual.

Almost everyone in this country is distracted from this truth because of their daily mundane lives. If you aren’t aware of it, it will go unnoticed and unrecognized. So, I offer this opportunity to attain self-awareness through these words. Something is happening with our planet that is affecting the crust of our earth. These observable anomalies happening with the planet’s crust can be clearly seen in the skies above you and in the ground under your feet.

Take the time to follow these observation parameters and see the truth going on around you every day. Look towards the sky’s horizon. Use low flying clouds that are passing by at a moderate pace. It is important to look at the clouds that are traveling perpendicular to your observation line. It may help to use a rooftop of a building or the top of a tree line as the foreground reference point. Line up your foreground reference point with the clouds in the background moving perpendicularly from your chosen observation line. If you look close enough you will see the clouds pause its momentum before slightly bouncing up and down in a repeating pattern. Look for this pause in the clouds, it’s very apparent once you notice it. Look for the up down motion (the bounce) that follows the pause of the clouds motion. Try to look at the bottom edge of the cloud structure as it moves across the sky. Another way to see this phenomenon is to lay in your yard and look directly above you at the clouds passing overhead. Instead of seeing a bounce, it will appear as if they are falling then rising back up. You may see them shift side to side and even a pause its motion as they track across the sky. If you can come up with new and improved ways to see what I am describing, I urge you to share it with the others. These are just some observational parameters and examples that may help reveal this veiled truth.

This pattern in the clouds can also be seen in the stars at nighttime. It will appear as if the stars are making tiny little circular motions and slight bouncing patterns. It’s very difficult to see this anomalous phenomenon. Those with a good eye and close attention to detail will inevitably see what I have just described. These anomalies are harder to see in the stars, the clouds, and in your immediate surroundings. This observable pattern of motion can be seen in the clouds, the stars, and in your surroundings. It requires a keen eye and the ability to see subtle, almost imperceivable shifts in your environment.

Understand that these observations that are taking place in the sky originate from the ground beneath your feet. I hypothesize the ground movements are taking place because of our planet’s magnetic field rapidly decreasing in strength. The poles are also rapidly tracking towards one another. We are in unprecedented times with what’s going on with our planet’s magnetic field. Many reputable scientists believe we are tracking towards a magnetic reversal or at least a magnetic excursion event. Fluctuations in the magnetic fields and decreasing magnetic pole strengths are not something people can cause through CO2 emissions. The health of our planet’s magnetic fields and its overall functions of protection is the overall mechanisms that drive/influences our climate. To neglect the situation of the planet’s magnetic fields and contributing factors to climate change is extremely deceptive and misleading. All conversations around climate change is based on a lie as their explanation behind the causes of climate change. Ask yourself, what do you think has more influence and impact on our climate… A slight increase in CO2 emissions in our atmosphere, or a decrease in our planet’s magnetic field that protects us from solar influences. Our magnetic field directly impacts all aspects of the planet’s ability to provide a regulated and stabilized environment necessary for life. Why is this extremely critical element and its influence nonexistent in all conversations around climate change?

 The observable ground fluctuations and movements I’ve observed are extremely anomalous in their nature. They should not be happening, yet it is as real as you or I. This motion in the ground is not because of conventional tectonic plate shifts and movements. Its too fluid, too consistent, and too constant to be readily explained by science and geologists as anything but anomalous. These ground movements move in a pattern like a wave and come and go in strength and intensity. Like the tides of the ocean. That’s why I say if you look for it only once, you probably will not see what I am describing.

 If you put in the observation time and effort to see the truth behind the climate crisis, you’ll see what I have already confirmed to exist as undeniable. This climate crisis transcends all boarders and jurisdictions. It is a global threat and something we all face as a collective.  The truth is right there for anyone to see and confirm with their own eyes. The implications and impact this truth will ultimately have on us collectively remain as an unknown. It’s inevitable you’ll see this truth. Once you notice it in the clouds and stars, start looking for it in the ground. It may help to use an elevated position when looking for these movements in the ground. You’ll see the same anomalous pattern in your surroundings that are observed in the skies.

This anomalous phenomenon of the ground moving in a wave pattern will inevitably take a toll on our infrastructure. These potential threats to our infrastructure will take time to manifest. I’ll leave it to you and your imagination to speculate the potential impact this will inevitably have. The implications of this revelation for our society, our politics, and every aspect of life going forward cannot be understated.

We as a nation, as a people, as a species cannot afford to ignore this problem that we are confronted with today. It is not something that can be pawned off to the next generation of leaders. This anomalous situation needs to be recognized, noticed, and investigated. For these reasons and potential impacts to all our future compels me to write this on behalf of the unaware and my fellow countrymen. To inform everyone who has yet to see this unrecognized and unnoticed truth is a matter of personal responsibility. A collective sense of duty to share and inform the uninformed.

Do not underestimate the significance of this truth I have shared with you in this letter.  This is the most important social issue of our time; all others pale in comparison. I warn against you blindly dismissing this truth before allowing yourself the opportunity to see what cannot be unseen. I understand my claims may seem unrealistic when first confronted with it. These things are undoubtedly taking place, and to blindly dismiss my claims as false would be the worst thing you could do. Blindly dismissing this information hurts everyone, everywhere. Most of all it hurts you and your ability to prepare for problems you cannot avoid. If your skeptical or doubt the validity of these claims. Then I ask you to disprove my claims. Instead of outright dismissing them, allow yourself the opportunity to investigate the validity behind my claims. What I claim is the truth and it has gone unnoticed and unrecognized publicly. This is not isolated to my home state of Wisconsin. I have made personal observations of the same phenomenon across multiple states across our country. From Wisconsin down to Texas, and from Wisconsin to D.C. these anomalous ground movement can be observed. The scientific community is not known for disclosing findings that result in unknowns that have real world implications. These anomalous ground fluctuations and presently observed phenomena is hard to perceive. Just because it’s difficult to perceive and the absence of current scientific confirmation shared publicly, doesn’t mean it’s nonexistent.

Look for this Truth, see this Truth, your lives, your children’s lives, ALL our lives may depend on you seeing this truth and spreading it anyway you can. This one truth will reveal many more truths as you travel down this path towards enlightenment.

Sincerely, A concerned citizen of these United States of America.

PS: If you have made it this far and read the entirety of this message… I have one more truth for you. I can say it with all certainty… You just entered the first stage of grief. Only with time will you grow to understand how true that statement is. This truth will stand the test of time… Ask yourself, what is it your truly grieving? Forgive me, for ignorance is bliss, but we cannot afford to remain blissfully ignorant to such revelations of truths when they have such global implications for life… Welcome to the realm of Denial… I look forward to meeting you after you walk this path towards acceptance…

hello, for my worldbuilding project i try to create a planete with a climate like the one of modern earth but withouth the "planetary cooling systems" created by the water circulation of water between the polar oceans in the Atlantic ocean. here on my planet their is a supercontinant, so for not having a permian/triassic climate i have to make my world globaly colder than earth. but also a supercontinant implie a globaly dry land mass. so my question is, is it possible to raise the level of precipitation without making the air hoter? One of the solution that i see is, to make more ocean but it imply other things in term of climate variability of the continent (sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker)

Hi I'm writing a bachelor thesis soon, I had to change supervisors so now I have to change my topic. However, I am completely clueless. My mind is blank. Ideally my topic would be a connection between urbanisation, physical geography and climatology however I'm open to any other topics. Please help me.

Training sessions will be available in English and Spanish (disponible en español).

How to get scholarship as a disaster management graduate ?

Hi all! I’m currently a college student prepping for Uni interviews (for Earth sciences) and I know that a big part of the interview can be based around current news and affairs. I am pretty well read when it comes to books but I always struggle to find much on the media. So I’m hoping that if anyone has any pretty relevant and interesting news around earth sciences/geology please share it here :)

Seeing an article about how Chimborazo is the furthest point from the earth's center I started to wonder if the atmospheric density follows sea level of the gravitational center of the earth. My gut tells me that the air is thinner at the top of Everest but I'd really like to hear the science why that is or isn't the case. Local variations excluded it does seem that both the surface of the earth and the gravitational center have an effect on the forces acting on the atmosphere.

Now that I'm thinking about it there might be two different answers to two different questions; 1. Is the air thinner on Chimborazo or Everest (because of local environmental factors), and 2. Does the atmospheric density follow sea level or gravitational center?

As a geophysicist with expertise in shallow seismic surveys and well logging, I possess a strong background in geophysical data acquisition and interpretation. Additionally, I have developed skills in signal processing using Python and machine learning techniques. I am currently seeking opportunities in Europe and would appreciate guidance or leads on potential job openings that align with my expertise.

Usually, when talking about climate change, scientists say that we need stop emissions to reach that goal. That means leave the fossil fuels in the Earth's crust and don't burn them. That solution is clear. If you don't use fossil fuels, any potential carbon emission stays in the ground, so to speak.

Also, they argue that if emissions are stopped, planet heating will also stop. For heating to stop, excess carbon dioxide needs to go somewhere to reduce its content in the atmosphere. My question is, where does it go? Who or what is supposed to remove most of the excess carbon-dioxide from the atmosphere? It doesn't really get turned into fossil fuels or buried into the Earth's crust in the matter of few decades (this process takes millions of years).

Are we supposed to use technology to remove it out and effectively return to the ground? Are plants, forests and other photosynthetic organisms supposed to take it? If latter is the case, that brings additional questions as photosynthetic organisms also respire, returning carbon-dioxide into the atmosphere.

I assume if there is some kind of equilibrium here which doesn't lead to planet warming provided there are enough photosynthetic organisms to take this carbon-dioxide out of the atmosphere during photosynthesis.

Hence, the mantra: "Plant more trees"

ey people, I am doing a project about mars its atsophere. As many people know the atmosphere consists out of multiple layers. My question is how do we define these layers when they are not applied to earth? When I look it up it is usually defined by the temperature, hight and the sort of gasses that hang around the layers, yet earths atmosphere is heavely influenced by the ozon layer. How can we lable the layers of atmosheres that don't have an ozon layer. ( Some of the same layer lables are used in describing Mars' atmosphere yet I can not find why they are labled as such. ) If anyone has ideas for the reason that these layers were labled as such or knows where i can find them, it would be very cool

Hello. I’m looking for people who would be interested in joining a study group focused on super-earths and life. This is done through Harvard’s free online course program. Anybody interested and serious, I’d love to work together.

This is a 15-week course, I will create a discord group. PM or comment if you’re interested. Serious inquiries only please.

I’m a current Computer Science major, but I really enjoy Earth Science (I’ve taken the basic course sequence as part of my gen ed).

I’m wanting a minor that will be useful in getting a career, and am torn between business & ES.

I don’t particularly like business (I took the basic class for gen ed as well), but it won’t be too terribly challenging and I think is universally helpful.
I do like ES, especially mineralogy, but would have to take an additional chem course and a handful of upper divisions.

Is there much in the way of pathways for someone with & ES minor?

Hi. I'm trying to get clear on some ice age related terminology. My understanding is that there are ice ages and smaller glaciation periods within these ice ages. It follows that there are also intervals of time between ice ages and intervals of time between glaciation periods. I would like to know what the different terms are for a) the time intervals between ice ages, and b) the time intervals between glaciation periods. The internet (i.e. Google) can't seem to distinguish between these two types of intervals and would have you believe they're both called "interglacial periods". Is that true or are their different terms for these different intervals? Thank you for the help!

Hi everyone! I am (22F) a master's student in Earth Sciences in my final year. I am currently thinking about what I would like to do in the future, and doing a PhD in glaciology seems a good option for me because I'm interested in glaciers, in particular, in remote sensing and mapping of them. However, I have a feeling that a career in academia may be not for me even though I am passionate about research. So my question is, is it possible to work as a glaciologist in industry? Thank you
