In 2013, a team of scientists rocked geology fans when they reported that Mauna Loa, a 2,000-square-mile shield volcano in Hawaii, was probably not in fact the largest volcano in the world.

What's not known is how toxic it might be or whether it will pose a threat for cities in Ohio and Michigan that draw their drinking water from the lake.

Brantford Expositor
The people taking care of Brantford’s waste water management system are breathing easier these days.
A $2.8 million government grant means the electrical system running the various pumps, aerators and blowers that clean and recycle Brantford’s water are — for the first time — 100 per cent backed up against a power outage.
“Any more than three minutes without pumping sewage through the plant would be disastrous,” said Jennifer Spagnuolo, a senior project manager in the city’s Environmental Services department.

An undersea earthquake, initially measured as 6.2 magnitude, hit the Indonesian island of Bali recently, according to the European monitoring agency EMSC.
