Gathering data from current events depicting human - environment interaction, the perception of the Earth by humans is scored using the One Wheel framework.  Below is the "personality" pattern of a reified Gaia projected for February.

Potential significant events in February: In anthropomorphic terms - The Earth is AT WAR (with civilization).  Possible physical manifestation (see map below) - A view that Nature is disruptive or inconvenient on the West Coast of N. America indicates a higher than normal probability of a moderate earthquake.  There is continued indication of heightened tectonic activity in the Caribbean and the region near where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet.  The unusual configuration that crosses the Atlantic Ocean signals possible current anomalies-- unseasonal weather patterns around the globe are possible. However, the primary areas to pay attention to are Northeast Asia, as well as Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and India.  While something serious is indicated, the specific threat is unclear; the area of concern is extremely large, and this same configuration is associated both with flooding as well as increased volcanic activity. -- last updated 1/31/10 February:  Orange - Coastal N. California rocked by 6.0 quake (5). S. California homes destroyed by mudslides (6).  Red - Strong quake strikes off Papua New Guinea (2).  6.3 quake hits off Taiwan (7). Blue-gray - Underwater volcano erupts S. of Tokyo; could form island (6). Global unseasonal or unusual weather - 'Snowmaggedon' buries Mid-Atlantic (6). -- map last updated 1/31/10; actual results 2/7/10. How the maps are produced: Data gathered from different cities' current events on the earth, "nature," and non-human living things is coded using the OneWheel framework.  3D spatial analysis is then performed with ArcGIS which creates a "surface" from each of the attributes, and a map is generated.  For some areas, the pertinent information is displayed on the corresponding area (e.g. Europe), for others the pertinent information is displayed in the ocean adjacent to the location (e.g. information for the land surrounding the Indian Ocean is displayed in the ocean; information for portions of East Asia is displayed in the far Western Pacific).

Map Archives: 2009 July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec December:  Orange - Houston gets earliest snowfall on record (4). Powerful snowstorm sweeps across U.S. (7).  Flight delays, cancellations due to big U.S. snowstorm (9).  Mudslides strand cars on California highway (13).  Most December snow in 70 years expected in Washington D.C. (18). Snowed in! Winter Storm snarls flights and roads (19). Treacherous weather disrupts holiday travel (26). Thousands of homes evacuated in Argentina floods (29).  Red - Moderate earthquake jolts Pakistan (5).  5.8 Earthquake shakes San Diego (30).  Light Blue - Snow shuts down Britain (18).

July: Nature was primarily friendly this month (green).  There was a strong earthquake off Indonesia July 13, and moderate earthquakes in the land surrounding the Indian Ocean such as Indonesia and Pakistan in late July (red).  Swine flu continues to make the news, but is still primarily in the background .  The first case hit Saudi Arabia late in the month (gray). -- last updated 7/27/09.
