Lidar Technology , Uncovers 'Geological Hazards' Below , Yellowstone National Park.
CBS reports that new data has
revealed "geological hazards"
underneath Yellowstone National Park. .
A team of scientists used lidar technology to shed light on
prehistoric landslides and massive earthquakes that may have
permanently impacted the potentially dangerous geologic area.
Advanced geological surface mapping gave
geologists the clearest view to date of Paradise
Valley and a northern portion of Yellowstone. .
Lidar, short for "light detection and ranging,"
is used to survey large areas of land with
a sensor usually mounted on an airplane.
Geologists have an intense interest in
the area, as Yellowstone National Park
sits atop a known volcanic hotspot.
However, Michael Poland, a geophysicist with the
U.S. Geological Survey, says that the chance of
a volcanic eruption "is very unlikely in our lifetimes.".
Poland added that studying the area remains crucial
due to the likelihood of damaging earthquakes and
hydrothermal explosions in the foreseeable future. .
Yann Gavillot, a geologist with the Geohazards Program at
Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, wrote about the
lidar data in a weekly column by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Gavillot said the work could , "significantly improve hazards maps by allowing
better characterization of the location, geometry,
and activity of known faults and landslides.".
CBS reports that the same technology
helped geologists uncover active faults along
the edges of Yellowstone in August of 2022

'Writing on the Wall' with Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra. Sample this! In recent months, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict has drawn heightened global attention. President Joe Biden's firm stance against Vladimir Putin's success in the war underscores the situation's gravity. Simultaneously, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's urgent plea for increased ammunition and weapons emphasises the critical need for international support against Russian aggression. Financial sustainability for Ukraine's defense is a concern, as Defense Secretary Yelland expresses worry over the strain of supporting the prolonged conflict. The Israel-Hamas war's repercussions add complexity, impacting global dynamics, including the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

Ukraine is still waiting for its allies to provide modern aircraft like F-16 fighter jets, to help in the fight to take back territory from Russia. For now, the army and airforce have to make do with equipment that has been flying since the Soviet era. DW's Max Zander met up with a helicopter crew ahead of a mission in eastern Ukraine.

According to the World Health Organization
(WHO), A(H1) influenza viruses are common
among pigs across most regions of the world. .
When these viruses make the leap to humans,
they are known as variant influenza viruses,
the most common of which are H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2.
In 2009, an H1N1 outbreak that began
in the United States quickly spread around
the world, killing at least 150,000 people globally.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the outbreak included nearly 70 million cases,
274,000 hospitalizations and 12,500 deaths in the U.S. .

Global Anti-Smoking
Campaigns Continue , Despite New Zealand Reversal.
BBC reports that New Zealand's decision to scrap
its landmark smoking ban may represent
a setback for global anti-smoking campaigns.
In the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak is looking to create a
"smoke-free generation," where anyone under the age of 14
will never be able to legally buy any tobacco product.
According to data from Cancer Research,
nine in ten people claim they started
smoking before reaching the age of 21.
The strict policy is believed to have been inspired by a
similar crackdown in New Zealand preventing anyone
born after 2008 from purchasing tobacco products.
The sweeping legislation also limited
where tobacco could be sold and reduced the
amount of nicotine that products could contain.
However, New Zealand's new government,
which was voted into power in October
of 2023, are moving to repeal the law. .
BBC reports that countries around the world
still have plans for raising "smoke-free generations.".
Mexico currently has some of the world's
strictest anti-smoking laws, including bans at
beaches, parks and even some private homes. .
Canada has announced plans
to cut tobacco use nationwide
to under 5% by the year 2035. .
Earlier this year, Canada became the first country to
require health warnings printed on individual cigarettes.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that
smoking bans in public places, workplaces and public
transport are in place for over 25% of the world's population.

Gaza's largest hospital has become a "death zone," the World Health Organization said Sunday, announcing plans to evacuate the facility, as Israel's army said it was expanding operations to destroy Hamas. The assessment came after a visit by WHO and other UN officials to the hospital, which Israeli troops raided earlier this week.
