Possible cause of Papua New Guinea tsunami found

Possible cause of Papua New Guinea tsunami found

A group of Japanese, American, British and Australian researchers has confirmed new signs of seabed fissures and landslides about 30 kilometers off the Papua New Guinea coast that was devastated by tsunami following a killer earthquake last July. They hypothesize that the seabed changes may have caused the tsunami. The photo, taken by the unmanned research submersible ''Dolphin 3K'' in February, was released by the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center on March 29. ==Kyodo

            (230727) -- WUHAN, July 27, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This file photo taken in the 1980s shows researchers of the Baiji dolphin research group under the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences examining Baiji dolphin Qi Qi. Three generations of researchers at the Institute of Hydrobiology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have spent decades rescuing and nursing endangered species - the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze finless porpoise. The latter is dubbed the "smiling angel of the Yangtze River" as its slightly curly lips resemble those of a smiling person. Baiji dolphin Qi Qi passed away in July 2002 after living for more than 22 years at the Baiji Dolphin House under CAS Institute of Hydrobiology in Wuhan. There was no more Baiji dolphin at the house after Qi Qi's death, but the house and the Wuhan Baiji Conservation Foundation kept their names unchanged. Researchers there decided to apply protective measures designed for Baiji dolphins to their "cousins" - Yangtze finless porpoises. Eleven Yan

Waseda University and a citizens group sent questionnaires to 5,350 households mainly in the Kanto region around Tokyo who had fled from Fukushima following the nuclear disaster, and obtained responses from 516. The results indicated that 37.0 percent of the evacuees had PTSD. Behind the high rate are long-term stress factors, including memories of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster, drastic changes in living environments and problems resulting from the government's p

                (230323) -- DAKAR, March 23, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on March 20, 2023 shows a general view of a well project in Tenefoul Toucouleur Village, Diourbel, Senegal. Mamadou Dieng, 40, an employee of the Chinese construction company CGCOC Group Senegal Branch, has been responsible for maintaining a Chinese-aided well in Tenefoul Toucouleur Village. Checking the machine's functions and filling the engine with diesel, Dieng's work may seem simple and tedious, but means a lot to the locals. Tenefoul Toucouleur Village was once a place afflicted with a severe lack of water. According to Dieng, residents there used to walk 1.5 kilometers every day and wait in long queues to fetch water from a 25-meter-deep well in a neighboring village. The well, part of the Chinese-funded rural well-drilling project in Senegal, has brought significant changes to local people's lives. In Senegal, the rural well-drilling project officially began on March 5, 2017. The project covers 12 of the 14 regions of Senegal. (

In 2016, Ali, a Pakistani student at that time, came to China and got his doctor's degree at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In 2021, he came to Jinan for further study, conducting his post-doctoral research here. "Shandong is a major agricultural province in China, which also has the edge on agricultural technology," said Ali. He hopes to bring the advanced vegetable planting technology he has learned here back to Pakistan to help develop the agricultural industry of his homeland. Ali is glad that he can witness and disseminate China-Pakistan friendship with vegetable sciences......
