SUP Magazine: Tom Cruise Was Paid Less Than You Think for Olympic Stunt

Playak 

The handoff of the Olympic flag from one host city to the next is an integral part of every Olympic closing ceremony. This year, Tom Cruise was a part of the festivities as he helped bring the flag from Paris to Los Angeles in high-flying Hollywood fashion. His payday for the stunt, however, wasn't as impressive.  Entertainment executive and LA28 president and chairperson Casey Wasserman explained how the pre-filmed segment came together in a CNBC x Boardroom panel on Sept. 10. According...

New discovery about ice layer formation in ice sheets can improve sea level rise predictions

Sciencedaily.com 

A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise around the globe. Researchers have found a new mechanism that explains the process of how impermeable horizontal ice layers are formed below the surface, a process critical for determining the contribution of ice sheet meltwater to sea level rise.

How El Nino and mega ocean warming caused the greatest-ever mass extinction

Sciencedaily.com 

Mega ocean warming El Nino events were key in driving the largest extinction of life on planet Earth some 252 million years ago, according to new research. The study has shed new light on why the effects of rapid climate change in the Permian-Triassic warming were so devastating for all forms of life in the sea and on land.

Climate-change-triggered 2023 mega-landslide caused Earth to vibrate for nine days

Sciencedaily.com 

A landslide in a remote part of Greenland caused a 200 meter (650 foot) mega-tsunami that sloshed back and forth across a fjord for nine days, generating vibrations throughout Earth, according to a new study. The study concluded that this movement of water was the cause of a mysterious, global seismic signal that lasted for nine days and puzzled seismologists in September 2023.

Microbe dietary preferences influence the effectiveness of carbon sequestration in the deep ocean

Sciencedaily.com 

The movement of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the surface of the ocean, where it is in active contact with the atmosphere, to the deep ocean, where it can be sequestered away for decades, centuries, or longer, depends on a number of seemingly small processes. A key microscale process in the ocean is the dietary preferences of bacteria that feed on organic molecules called lipids.

Rapid loss of Antarctic ice after 2100 likely under current emissions

Sciencedaily.com 

A new study by more than 50 climate scientists worldwide provides the clearest projection that Antarctica's ice sheet will retreat rapidly after 2100 under current carbon emissions, with global sea levels rising by as much as 5.5 feet by 2200. The study combined 16 climate models and found that ice loss will gradually increase through this century until the ice sheet becomes highly unstable, possibly experiencing a near-total collapse by 2300.

The legacy of corn nitrogen fertilizer: Study shows lengthy impact in tile drained systems

Sciencedaily.com 

Midwestern soils are among the most productive in the world, thanks in part to extensive tile drainage systems that remove excess water from crop fields. But water isn't the only thing flowing through tile drains. Nitrogen moves along with soil water into drainage ditches, streams, and ultimately into the Mississippi River Basin, where the nutrient contributes to massive algal blooms and hypoxic conditions that impact aquatic life in the Gulf of Mexico.

Lukashenko ready to give away Belarusian convict to Poland

BelTA (en) 

During the meeting the president made a few comments about Andrei Pochobut, who had been convicted in Belarus: “Pochobut, Pochobut, Pochobut! I said they can take him. But [Poland’s representative] said: ‘I will not go [to Belarus]. I don’t want to’. And they don’t want to take him back."
