Santorini and Amorgos still under observation The caldera of the volcano in Santorini would have risen by four centimeters, while on the nearby Cycladic island Amorgos a state of emergency has been declared due to the continuous earthquakes. The authorities warn that the situation presents various possible scenarios including that of a possible eruption even if between 2011-2012 a scenario characterized by earthquakes was not followed by an eruption, but now there is talk of significant variations compared to that simulated model. It should be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that in Indonesia villages were evacuated due to the eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano on the Flores island, then there were floods in South Sulawesi and thousands of homes were flooded including in the capital Makassar due to torrential rainfall. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 13, 2025

 Excessive light pollution in Chile For those who observed the sky in Chile you could see a kind of parade of stars and the country was famous in the world by astronomers and large telescopes were built allowing remarkable discoveries in the astronomical field, but urban and industrial development has increased light pollution putting at risk the quality and clarity of observations. Some say that it is possible to use new technologies to make development projects coexist while preserving the natural brilliance of the stars and the authorities would be busy finding a solution for example in the energy field. To report changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic issues that over ten thousand residents are ready to leave the island of Santorini in Greece due to the frequent earthquakes, there is talk of a declaration of a state of emergency also due to the danger of landslides. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 07, 2025 n°: 5868 More tremors on Santorini and Amorgos islands The Cyclades continue to shake and there are fears that Santorini could possibly be shaken by a strong earthquake after two shocks above magnitude four in five minutes were monitored (although some say instead that the accumulated telluric energy is being discharged), then there is talk of tremors that have almost reached magnitude five, of landslides, one of which occurred on the Red Beach of Santorini which has been closed, under the detached red rocks you can see an evident whiteness. Flights have been organized for evacuations while concerns are growing among residents, thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes as a precaution. Shifting attention to Italy a report on air pollution warns that according to the new European standards over seventy percent of cities will not comply with PM10 fine particulate limits by 2030. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 05, 2025 n°: 5866 Flooding in North Queensland in Australia Torrential rainfall would have forced thousands of people to take refuge in the upper floors of homes due to flooding in northern Queensland in Australia, there is also talk of strong gusts of wind and one victim while the authorities had warned to keep the evacuation kit ready in cases at risk for the lower floors. A coastal area near Hinchinbrook Shire about five hundred kilometers from Brisbane was particularly affected. Shifting our attention to Italy, a heavy cloudburst in the province of Messina in Sicily region with roads turned into torrents in flood in Zafferia and cars trapped in the mud (a person who was stuck in an underpass was helped out of the car and saved), bad weather also in Calabria region due to heavy rainfall in the province of Catanzaro with difficulty in moving and inconvenience for the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 03, 2025 n°: 5864 Wave of bad weather in some regions in Italy Yet another wave of bad weather has affected some regions in Italy, Tuscany and Liguria are particularly affected with for example with cloudbursts and collapses in roads, then there is talk of high waves at sea, strong winds and storm surges with two ships in Marina Di Massa and Cesenatico in difficulty. Various landslides caused by heavy rainfall in the mountains have melted the snow and even where it has snowed temperatures are high and the snowpack is rather unstable in some places; the disturbance is moving to the South with alert in Sicily and Calabria. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on naturalistic themes the low temperatures reported in northern Michigan in the United States and in other areas that have long been hit by arctic currents, while in the world in general several countries complain of great heat and excessive temperatures. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 29, 2025 n°: 5860 Thirty million hectares of vegetation burned in Brazil Last year an area covered by vegetation the size of Italy went up in smoke in Brazil, almost eighty percent more than in 2023, while there are currently still numerous fires in the Amazon largely due to ranchers and farmers who want to expand the land suitable for their activities with these illegal practices. These are discouraging data for the Brazilian authorities to present at the COP30 climate conference to be held in November in Belem since the 2024 data represent the largest area lost since 2019, a serious damage to the whole planet; in fact, there is a risk that the Amazon will emit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it absorbs. Once vegetation has burned it is difficult to restore an environment that can support an ecosystem in balance with the planet's new climatic characteristics. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 25, 2025 n°: 5857 Landslides in Indonesia and wildfires in California Sixteen people would be killed, five missing and several injured in a central area in the province of Java due to landslides caused by intense and prolonged rainfall especially in the Pekalongan, a thick layer of mud hinders the intervention of rescuers; then there is talk of floods, particularly affected the city of Bandar Lampung with fourteen thousand houses submerged affecting over eleven thousand two hundred residents, the global current "La Nina" tends to intensify rainfall in the archipelago (but with climate change hydrogeological risks are increasing). As for California new outbreaks are devouring vegetation forcing the evacuation of more than thirty thousand people in Los Angeles, north of the city, three thousand two hundred hectares of woodland have already gone up in smoke for what has long been considered a disaster of great proportions. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 23, 2025 n°: 5855 Abundant rainfall in the South and in Sardinia in Italy The abundant rainfall that affected Sardinia would have quickly filled the reservoirs that were empty due to a period of prolonged drought, it seems that in some cases they are full beyond the threshold of attention, relief for farmers struggling with water restrictions regarding uses in the fields. In Sicily region the water returns to come out of the taps, but due to a storm damage in Catania in a square on the seafront due to the erosion of the coast (landslide also in stretches of streets in east coast of Sicily). In Abruzzo region the rains have melted the snow and the reservoirs are sometimes so full that it was also necessary to pour water, needless to say that the snow mass would have guaranteed a more durable reserve helping to recharge the aquifers. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 20, 2025 n°: 5852 New eruption of the Ibu volcano in Indonesia For months the Ibu volcano which is located on the remote island of Halmahera in eastern Indonesia in the north of the province of Maluku, has been showing signs of intense volcanic activity with columns of volcanic ash emanating from the top of the mountain, hundreds of new evacuation orders have already been sent with thousands soon arriving and evacuation centers have been set up. Recently again in Indonesia there was talk of hundreds of houses flooded in the Riau Islands due to storms and thousands of people generally affected by floods and landslides in the country. Shifting our attention to Los Angeles to report the complaints of some who claim that there are neighborhoods in the burned areas with houses without signs of damage apparently due to the intervention of private firefighters and it seems that there is a village of shops that has remained intact (however the air is still unbreathable even for all the inhabitants of the area). e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 17, 2025 n°: 5850 Study on conditions that conducive to fires A particularly dry month of September would have determined the favorable conditions for the disastrous fire to develop in the hills of Los Angeles, at least according to a study that compared the data relating to several large fires; then, despite heavy rainfall in some cases in 2024 the 2025 began with a rather dry situation. Currently the fires are pushing supported by gusts of wind towards the area north of Los Angeles, there is talk of another eighty-four thousand evacuation orders, drinking water unsafe because polluted by toxic substances present in retardants spread by firefighting planes. The air quality is really low considering that the air is saturated with particulate matter and other fine dust from the many burned vehicles (therefore plastics, fuels..) and it is feared that the wind may increase in the coming days. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 15, 2025 n°: 5848 Ambience and Nature * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
