Sentinel-5P #TROPOMI measurements at ~11:00 UTC show most of the SO₂ emissions from #HayliGubbi spreading east in the upper troposphere. Plume contains ~44 kilotons of SO₂ (~0.04 Tg).

An eruption from the #HayliGubbi volcano in #Ethiopia resulted in a large ash cloud, visible here from space. 🌋

This impressive view was seen 36,000km above Earth by our Meteosat-12 satellite on 23 November at 13:40 UTC.

The eruption after thousand of years of #HayliGubbi #volcano in #Ethiopia.
According to analyses, part of the eruptive column from the eruption may have reached an altitude between 18 and 20 km.
The #Copernicus #Sentinel5p image on Nov. 23 shows the big plume moving eastward.

Two years in the Amazon taught Dr Michel Valette (CEP & @centrewildfires.bsky.social) one thing: Indigenous communities adapt to wildfires with incredible resilience.

Now they need urgent support for community-led fire prevention. #COP30 🌱
When the forest burns: climate change, wildfires, and Indigenous adaptation in the Amazon
Indigenous-led fire management is not only a matter of climate justice; it is a precondition for safeguarding the Amazon’s future.

“Emissions of greenhouse gas methane from lakes & reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change. This in turn could raise Earth's temperature more than suggested by IPCC's current worst-case scenario.”

Solutions still have time - we reduce CO2!
