Evidence of the Storegga tsunami that struck the UK and Norway 8000 years ago. it is the deadliest natural disaster in British history and may have killed a quarter of the island's population.

It's extraordinary that 40 years after it was suggested, we're still finding out about this impact and seeing different aspects to it because of the devastation that it caused. - Andrew Dunkley The extinction of dinosaurs has been a topic of intrigue for centuries. Various theories propose the cause to be major environmental changes, catastrophic asteroid impact, or major shifts in vegetation, leading to dental maladies among the dinosaurs. The most recent development in this field proposes a global winter induced by the fallout of an asteroid impact, a theory which aligns with the devastation level required to cause such a mass extinction. The resources mentioned in this episode are: · Visit thecosmosmagazine.com website to read more about the new theory on what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. · Check out the paper titled Chicxulub Impact Winter, sustained by fine silicate dust in the journal Nature Geoscience for more details on the research. · Explore the concept of the Anthropocene period and human-induced climate change by searching for articles and studies on the topic. · Learn more about the sun and its evolution by researching yellow dwarf stars and stellar evolution. · Discover more about the star Ro Corona Borealis and its similarities and differences to our own sun by searching for information on the star and its characteristics. · Read the paper by Stephen Kane in the Astrophysical Journal to delve deeper into the research on planets orbiting sunlike stars. · In this episode of the Space Nuts podcast, you'll join host Andrew Dunkley as he delves into the fascinating world of space exploration and scientific discoveries. With his friendly and approachable style, Andrew takes you on a journey through various topics, from the theories surrounding the extinction of dinosaurs to the lifecycle of stars and the interplay between galaxies and black holes.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to embark on an interstellar adventure with Andrew Dunkley and his guests on Space Nuts. Timestamped summary of this episode: 00:00:00 - Introduction Andrew Dunkley introduces the episode and previews the topics to be discussed, including the extinction of the dinosaurs, planets orbiting a star similar to ours, and audience questions about Andromeda gravity. 00:05:38 - New Theory on Dinosaur Extinction Astronomers in Belgium and the UK have proposed a new theory on the extinction of the dinosaurs. They have found evidence of fine silicate dust in the rock strata, suggesting that the impact of a massive asteroid led to a global winter, which caused the mass extinction event. 00:08:41 - Impact of Silicate Dust The distribution of silicate dust from the asteroid impact was larger than previously estimated. This fine dust, about 1 micron in diameter, could have stayed in the atmosphere for an extended period, contributing to the global winter and the extinction of the dinosaurs. 00:02:16 - Fred's Travels Fred Watson discusses his upcoming travels to Sea Lake in Victoria for an astronomy weekend and his trip to New Zealand for the hundredth anniversary of an astronomical society. He also mentions his participation in a meeting about dark and quiet skies and the impact of satellites on astronomers. 00:04:44 - Interesting Statistics Andrew Dunkley shares interesting statistics, including the percentage of New Zealanders living in Australia (10% of their population) and the fastest-growing nationality moving to Australia (the Nepalese). He humorously advises Fred not to mix up Switzerland with Sweden, referencing a recent 00:17:05 - "Introduction to the Star's Lifecycle" The star in question is a yellow dwarf in its midlife phase, approximately 4.57 billion years old. It is currently in a steady hydrogen burning phase, similar to the Sun. This phase will continue for another 4 billion years before it transitions into a giant star. 00:19:32 - "Planets Orbiting the Star" The star, Ro Corona Borealis, has four known planets orbiting it. These planets are closer to the star than Mercury is to the Sun. One of the planets, Ro Corona Borealis d, is potentially in the habitable zone and could support life. 00:21:35 - "Impact of Star Growth on Planets" As the star grows into a red giant, the planets' fate is uncertain. Some may evaporate or be torn apart by the gravitational effects. Others may be thrown out of the system and become rogue planets. The exact outcomes depend on the planets' orbits and interactions with other planets. 00:25:04 - "Predictions for the Planets" The prediction for the four known planets is that one will evaporate within the star's atmosphere, one will spiral in and be tidally disrupted, one will be destroyed at the end of a phase of evolution, and the fate of the fourth planet is uncertain. There could also be other undetected planets that may survive or be influenced by the star's growth. 00:35:32 - The Spectacular Event of the Andromeda Galaxy The speaker discusses the possibility of the Andromeda galaxy getting closer to our galaxy. Although the event would be spectacular, it would happen on a timescale that wouldn't affect us humans. 00:36:27 - Collision of Galaxies The collision between our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy would result in a phenomenal sight, but it would be a slow process that wouldn't impact us directly. Simulations indicate that the two galaxies will pass through each other multiple times before settling into a new galaxy devoid of hydrogen. 00:37:33 - Black Hole Merger In response to a listener's question, it is mentioned that the black holes in the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies would eventually merge due to their relative gravitational forces. This merging process is expected to happen during the collision of the two galaxies. 00:38:59 - Can Gravity Escape a Black Hole? The question of whether gravity can escape a black hole is explored. Gravity is a force field associated with a theoretical particle called a graviton, but it has never been observed or confirmed. The escape of gravitons from a black hole remains uncertain. 00:41:23 - The Myth of Bagpipes on the Moon The story of a mechanic named William Rudd playing bagpipes at the Tidbin Biller station during the Apollo program is shared. While it is unclear if the sound of the bagpipes was actually heard on the moon, The extinction of dinosaurs has been a topic of intrigue for centuries. Various theories propose the cause to be major environmental changes, catastrophic asteroid impact, or major shifts in vegetation, leading to dental maladies am

Sitting in on my office building’s complimentary earthquake training and we are all gonna die so bad
10k fatalities predicted for the largest natural disaster in this region’s history. Depending on the time of year, up to 40k landslides.
And if you’re on the coast? Expect a 500 mph / 800 kph wave with 30–60 foot / 10–20 m surge for more than an hour.
Lots of fun fires from natural gas lines and whatnot that absolutely no fire department will even be able to reach due to there being 10 feet / 3 m of debris in the street
Uh and if you’re outdoors in a downtown area and an earthquake starts, get indoors if you don’t want to be skewered with falling office window glass

Are there actually tsunamis that hit in one of those big curved surfer’s platonic ideal of waves/The Great Wave Off Kanagawa? I had always assumed they’re like sneaker waves that go far inland at high volume and depth, but figured they wouldn’t really do the surf’s up kinda wave.

Now that I live on the west side of I-5, I need to be more aware of the possibility of a "The Big One" possibly occurring.
I'm pretty set for flood, fires and foes, but I haven't given much thought to a massive, state-splitting earthquake.
Good news though! There's an online class for that.
Beanblock on twitter says this:
To access the course, create an account. Note: If you don't have a .edu or .gov email address select "no" when asked. An option marked "required" then asks you to select your institution. Select "NotOtherwiseListed" (or something very similarly worded. Sorry I don't recall exact wording!)
If you're bothered by making yet another online account, an extension service account is really not a bad one to have. They're historically known for helping people be self-sufficient and healthy, with a strong leaning towards agriculture.
There're all over the country, so even if this doesn't apply to you, might want to check that out.

OH bonus fun!
This map shows where to go to make sure you live on your own private island, or where to avoid to make sure you aren't stuck on an island with a bunch of fucking small-minded rednecks (derogatory).
