Research finds frozen ground in the Arctic is sinking at an
increased rate
by George Washington University
January 15, 2025
A new study from the George Washington University shows that
frozen ground is sinking at an alarming rate across high-latitude
and high-altitude cold regions of the Arctic.
The study, based on diverse data from regions across North
America and Eurasia, found that thaw subsidence—the sinking or
settling of frozen ground, also known as permafrost, as it
thaws—is widespread and happening at accelerating rates, with
serious implications, including ecosystem, infrastructure and
landscape disruptions.

SWRG continues in Olivia 32-2000 ...
In addition, wildfires and human activities such as construction
accelerate this process, the study found. The study authors
indicate that more widespread, systemic monitoring of thaw
subsidence is urgently needed.
Lead researcher Dmitry Streletskiy is a professor of Geography
and International Affairs at the George Washington University
Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. The study, "Thawing
Permafrost is Subsiding in the Northern Hemisphere—Review and
Perspectives" was published in Environmental Research Letters.

From the BBC:
Rocket launch challenges Elon Musk's space dominance
Georgina Rannard
Climate and science reporter
January 16, 2025
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's space company has blasted its first
rocket into orbit in a bid to challenge the dominance of Elon
Musk's SpaceX.
The New Glenn rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force
Station in Florida at 02:02 local time (07:02 GMT).
It firmly pits the world's two richest men against each other in
a commercial space race, vying to fly bigger and more powerful
rockets.
Both want to populate the skies with more satellites, run private
space stations, and provide transport for regular trips by people
to the Moon.
"Congratulations on reaching orbit on the first attempt!" Musk
wrote in a post to Bezos on X.
Dave Limp, CEO of Bezos's space company Blue Origin, said he was
"incredibly proud".
"We'll learn a lot from today and try again at our next launch
this spring," he added.
Bezos's team overcame technical barriers that caused delays
earlier this week when ice formation halted a launch.
Blue Origin's employees and crowds gathered near Cape Canaveral
cheered as the 98 meters-high rocket hurtled into orbit.
But the company failed to land New Glenn's main rocket engine, or
booster, onto a platform in the Atlantic Ocean.
It had hoped that the booster would be reusable for future
launches but after about 20 minutes of flight, the company
confirmed it had lost the engine.
Bezos's company Blue Origin has struggled to match the pace set
by SpaceX. But this launch will be seen as a major step forward
for the business.
The New Glenn rocket was named after John Glenn, the first
American astronaut to orbit Earth more than 60 years ago.
The rocket is more powerful than SpaceX's most commonly-used
rocket, the Falcon 9. It can also carry more satellites, and
Bezos wants to use it as part of his Project Kuiper, which aims
to deploy thousands of low-earth satellites to provide broadband
services.
That project would compete directly with Musk's Starlink service.
Jeff Bezos founded Blue Origin 25 years ago, claiming he wanted
"millions of people working and living in space."
For years the venture has sent a smaller, resuable rocket called
New Shepard to the edge of Earth's atmosphere. It has carried
passangers and payloads, including Bezos himself in 2021.
But Blue Origin has been dramatically outperformed by SpaceX,
which launched its rockets 134 times last year.
And SpaceX's new generation of rocket, called Starship, is more
powerful still. The company hopes to launch it in its seventh
test flight later today.
Some experts say a successful New Glenn rocket will create real
competition between the two companies and could drive down the
costs of space operations.
"What you are going to see are these two companies challenge each
other to make even greater strides," suggests Dr Simeon Barber at
the Open University in the UK.
Governments have historically spent billions on building rockets
and sending missions into space.
But US space agency NASA is increasingly moving away from relying
only on public money and has issued huge contracts to private
companies to provide rockets and other space services.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has already received billions of dollars worth
of space contracts.
His close relationship with the next US president, Donald Trump,
could strengthen his company further.
