New experiments suggest Earth's core contains up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen

cross-posted from: https://news.abolish.capital/post/26823 [https://news.abolish.capital/post/26823] > Scientists have long known that Earth’s core is mostly made of iron, but the density is not high enough for it to be pure iron, meaning lighter elements exist in the core, as well. In particular, it’s suspected to be a major reservoir of hydrogen. A new study, published in Nature Communications, supports this idea with results suggesting the core contains up to 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen. These results also challenge the idea that most of Earth’s water was delivered by comets early on. > > — > > From Earth News - Earth Science News, Earth Science, Climate Change [https://phys.org/rss-feed/earth-news/] via This RSS Feed [https://phys.org/rss-feed/earth-news/].

Fatberg the size of four buses likely birthed poo balls that closed Sydney beaches – and it can’t be cleared

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/53542275 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/53542275] > A giant fatberg, potentially the size of four Sydney buses, within Sydney Water’s Malabar deepwater ocean sewer has been identified as the likely source of the debris balls that washed up on Sydney beaches a year ago. > > Sydney Water isn’t sure exactly how big the fatberg is because it can’t easily access where it has accumulated. > > Fixing the problem would require shutting down the outfall – which reaches 2.3km offshore – for maintenance and diverting sewage to “cliff face discharge”, which would close Sydney’s beaches “for months”, a secret report obtained by Guardian Australia states. > > “The working hypothesis is FOG [fats, oils and grease] accumulation in an inaccessible dead zone between the Malabar bulkhead door and the decline tunnel has potentially led to sloughing events, releasing debris balls,” the report concludes. > > “This chamber was not designed for routine maintenance and can only be accessed by taking the DOOF offline and diverting effluent to the cliff face for an extended period (months), which would close Sydney beaches.”
thanks logitech, very cool
