On a Remote Island, a Lost Part of the World Is Found - @earthinstitute - 0 views

Jérôme OLLIER on 13 Feb 19

On a remote tropical island in the Indian Ocean lies a geologic enigma. Some 4 million years ago, volcanic eruptions on the seabed piled lava upward almost two miles, until it broke above the waves. Then it kept piling up, to form what is now the craggy, densely vegetated island of Anjouan. Like all islands formed this way (think Hawaii) Anjouan is 100 percent dark volcanic basalt. Except for the part that is not. That part-a mass of pure white quartzite, apparent remains of a river or beach deposit formed on some faraway, long-ago continent-is not supposed to be there.

Rapid-Fire Cyclones over the North Indian Ocean - @earthinstitute - 0 views

Jérôme OLLIER on 06 Nov 15

With Chapala's destructive landfall in Yemen just a couple of days in the past, a second tropical cyclone, Megh, has just formed in the Arabian Sea. This one is not forecast to become anywhere near as intense as Chapala did-though we know intensity forecasts can be wrong, as they were at early stages for both Chapala and Patricia.

Mumbai May Be Vulnerable to Future Hurricanes - @LamontEarth - 0 views

Jérôme OLLIER on 06 Oct 17

Historically, tropical cyclones (also known as hurricanes) have rarely hit Mumbai, India. But how will future storms impact this coastal city on the Arabian Sea? That's the focus of a leading-edge study underway by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory's Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate.
