Gas and LNG expert Anne-Sophie Corbeau: "People really need to turn down their thermostats. We're heading for the Mother of all energy crises. Refilling Europe's gas storages could become the drama of the year."
Even more so for the Netherlands, where the filling level has now been run down to below 7%, I would add.

This article is interesting about thoughts of using flying networks to support military operations.
It is a complex system - and my sense is that they will screw it up with application specific protocols and APIs that evolve and change over time as as military events (the kind that go boom or are intentional forms of in-band attacks - think everything from hyper-phishing to spoofing to zero-day attacks).
But even if it were put together with the precision of a Swiss watch, my old…

Looks like studies of hominins in East Asia are this week's goodies. Following on from the study of H. sapiens expansion routes into East Asia, we've now got this remarkable dating of H. erectus suggesting rapid expansion out of Africa 1.9 million years ago.

Study reveals hidden 'chemical currency' fueling the ocean's carbon cycle
A new study, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University, identifies a diverse set of molecules released by marine phytoplankton that fuel microbial life and help drive Earth's carbon cycle. While scientists know that carbon is moved through an invisible network of phytoplankton and other microbes in the surface ocean, the specific compounds have long been a mystery. These compounds are small, chemically difficult to detect in salty seawater, and are rapidly consu…
