I love Earth Sciences. Especially oceanography and oceanic meteorology.

Now all we have to do is find a intelligent topic to start out with , any ideas?

Slow Modem's "5.8 Quake in Cayman Islands" would have been perfect but this started up after his post. Next tsunami, quake, space activity will have to do.

For star gazers, this is interesting. A near approach.
February 9 - Asteroid 2009 UN3 Close Approach. This asteroid is just under a kilometer in size and will pass within 14.5 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. is should be visible in moderate or larger size telescopes near the border of the constellations Lepus and Columba. It will be a little easier to see in the southern hemisphere, where it will have an apparent movement of 50 arc seconds per minute, nearly fast enough to see the movement in the telescope.

Good idea.. I've moved the Cayman Quake thread to this board
