Volcanically forced Madden–Julian oscillation triggers the immediate onset of El Niño by Hyemi Kim, Seung-Ki Min, Daehyun Kim, Daniele Visioni

“…In this study, using large ensemble simulations that allow us to isolate the impacts of volcanic forcing on the El Niño response, we demonstrate a mechanism that highlights the central triggering role of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), which has been overlooked in existing literature. Because the land areas surrounding the Indo-Pacific warm pool dry more quickly after a volcanic eruption, the background moisture distribution becomes more favorable for the MJO to propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. …”

Characterization of Soil Properties and the Implications for Landslide Occurrence in Rubanda District. by Ainamaani, Samuel

“…And from the plasticity charts the PI and LL results reveals that the soils are clay of high plasticity and this signals chances of landslides Soil particle distribution The clay fraction for the soil were above 10% threshold identified from the analysis of the soil samples from the respective test pits as shown in the table below, this explains higher possibilities of extreme expansion potential and hence susceptible to land slides The bearing capacity of soil was determined as 250.825 kN/M3.When compared with the safe Safe/allowable bearing capacity of Soft rock 440kN/M3, the bearing capacity of soil is too low indicating high chance of collapsible soil.…”
