AIPG Virtual Book Club - November 8, 2021 - Getting Green Done by Auden Schendler
AIPG
The great flaw in the sustainable-business movement today is that few are willing to admit that achieving sustainability is difficult, and maybe impossible, without big changes in the way the world currently operates. (p. 9).
The bottom line is that this job isn't about the beauty, it's about the mess. It's not about the glory, it's about the dogged pursuit of an enormously challenging goal. This book is testimony to the fact that the sustainable business movement isn't gliding along rails. We're slogging through the mud, struggling with difficult problems that have complex answers. There's contradiction in the very fact of our existence, and uncertainty as to the outcome of our work. I am constantly asked: "Climate change is big these days. But what's next?" My latest response has been, "Honesty. The point is that unless we own up to the realities, we're deluding ourselves, we'll never be able to get down to solving the real problems." (pp. 238-239)

Satellites capture reinvigorated La Palma volcanic eruption
Space.com
Satellites have captured stunning new images of the intensifying volcanic eruption on the Spain-owned island of La Palma as new streams of lava spilled out over the weekend.
The revitalized volcanic eruption was accompanied by boulders the size of a house rolling out of the Cumbre Vieja volcano's crater, where part its cone collapsed, as locals reported dozens of Earth tremors up to 3.8 magnitude since Sunday.

Quantum phase transition detected on a global scale deep inside the earth
EurekAlert!
The interior of the Earth is a mystery, especially at greater depths (> 660 km). Researchers only have seismic tomographic images of this region and, to interpret them, they need to calculate seismic (acoustic) velocities in minerals at high pressures and temperatures. With those calculations, they can create 3D velocity maps and figure out the mineralogy and temperature of the observed regions.

Icy 'glue' may control pace of antarctic ice-shelf breakup
NASA
Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and the University of California, Irvine, have discovered an ice process that may have caused a Delaware-size iceberg to break off Antarctica's immense Larsen C ice shelf in the Southern Hemisphere winter of 2017. The finding that mélange — a mixture of windblown snow, iceberg bits, and sea ice lodged in and around ice shelves — is critical in holding ice shelves together implies that the these ice shelves may break up even faster than scientists had expected due to rising air temperatures.

Deep roots of Australia's geology revealed
Phys.org
A new study has shown for the first time how Australia's rich geological history is reflected deep below the Earth's surface.
Author of the study, Dr. Caroline Eakin from The Australian National University (ANU), said the Australian land mass is made up of different building blocks that fused together over 1.3 billion years ago.
"Australia is an old, stable continent," Dr. Eakin said.

Arctic Ocean's 'last ice area' may not survive the century
EurekAlert!
With warming climate, summer sea ice in the Arctic has been shrinking fast, and now consistently spans less than half the area it did in the early 1980s. This raises the question: It this keeps up, in the future will year-round sea ice — and the creatures who need it to survive — persist anywhere?
