Right, while you have delusions of competence in the field.
And yet, my clients continue to contract my services over and over again. In fact, when I chose to do so, I probably made in a month what you make in a year. Such is the burden of being able to extrapolate and abstract. These are burdens that you are mercifully free from.
If you can't even start from the beginning, there's no point in me carrying you anywhere.
I would, however count on you for the answer to a single question: How's the hamster life-cycle grant market these days?
That there is a degree of friction exists beneath glaciers is a fact. But what also is a fact is that the primary source of meltwater from glaciers is from the surface melting. Another fact meltwater sources from the base of the glacier are heat generated from ice deformation - which is a form of pressure increase within the ice pushing it past the ice-liquid pressure/temperature boundary as well as other pressure factors. Now if you want to call that 'friction' I would agree only in that it is causing pressure changes in the ice itself. It is not kinetic friction but approaches the realm of fluid dynamics because of the plasticity of the ice under pressure. It passes the use of the term 'friction' in the common use then.
As I stated before, your linked abstract examines the function of an enhanced geothermal gradient to account for the increased flow - from the abstract
Within the idealized Jakobshavn Isbra with walls with 45°-slopes extending 1500 m to the valley floor that is 3 km wide, the geothermal flux is about 150% of the background geothermal heat flux.
My, didn't I say that they were finding that they had to model a higher geothermal gradient than normal . . . .
So you’re not only a thief, but a liar as well.
So, the hamster life-cycle grant market is that bad, eh?
Could you tell me more about your theory and its time frame. I have written details at other Catastrophism posts, but the pressure of deadlines is keeping me from responding with details immediately.
Do you mean
When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
Thanks for the information.
I am done with ur tease Godzilla, I lost all respect for you in your attempted diminishing of Steve, a few weeks back. You my FRiend should reconsider your attitude when dealing with those that perhaps are not with degree but simply know what they are talking about.
This is at least the fourth time you tried to contradict a statement I made to a fellow board member who took the time to ask me a question. I answered honestly and within the knowledge I have garnered. You, with supposed knowledge came to the conclusion that you must disagree and I think just because I called you out on your Katla warning. So be it, but do me a favour....leave your God Complex at your house, it's not needed here.
In a nutshell, roughly every 100K years since the Cenozoic Era, something occurs that causes a global warming period lasting for about 10K years before the Earth returns to its normal colder climate.
What ever causes the warming, it ends rather quickly. Perhaps the cause is the Sun entering an active phase, a decrease in the amount of space dust in the solar system, some characteristic in eccentricity of the Earth's orbit or a periodic release of heat from the Earth's interior or any combination of the above. It's my way of thinking about global warming or cooling in reverse and it's time for the warm period to end.
You are the one with the complex. IF you want to consider your statement on YS and others more ‘correct’ than the experts - go for it bro - get your self into business and make money at it. Otherwise spare me your platitudes for in those previous topics it was clear who knew what they were talking about - and it wasn’t you.
Just wondering though, do you even know my position on yellowstone?
I didn't think so....lol
Have a god evening my FRiend!
Do you know mine? Didn’t think so either. So much for your mind reading capabilities too.
His position that the pot is terminally active has some merit, enough anyways for someone as trained as you to understand why a novice would become engrossed with it.
You chose to belittle him....as you have attempted with me quite a few times but certainly not to that degree as you did him.
I must surmise then that at one point before my knowledge of this board, he must have disagreed with you as well...lol
Had you looked at my intial replies, I was attempting to educate him by pointing him to the views of those who study YS full time, that such events were common and not in themselves a sign of emminent activity - contrary to the title of his thread. I tried to explain the absence of magmatic harmonic signatures and that the seismographs record quakes from around the world and that to fixate on that alone, separate from the data stream from the experts who have all the data and tools to analyze it was wrong. It was only after he blew off my attempts did my frustration break through. I believe he and I have come to an understanding, so I consider that issue to be at closure.
Glad you and Steve resolved the issue and hopefully you both came away from the experience more tolerating.
As for leaving things to the expert in regards to such things...I can not disagree more. I have on my own accord noticed things the experts did not and have witnessed on other occasions including Eyjaf, novices who far and away outperformed Vulcanologist's worldwide.
Data sets from monitoring devices are kept by some countries as intellectual property and viewed as guarded knowledge. I personally see this behaviour not only detrimental to the protection of this world's denizens but indeed very snobbish...lol
Then may I suggest for your icequake evaluations this link
http://en.vedur.is/earthquakes-and-volcanism/earthquakes/myrdalsjokull/#view=table
which provides greater detail regarding the recorded quakes in the area of the volcanos. Depth of quake should help weed out shallow icequakes from deeper, potentially volcanically generated ones.
