The latest from Lusi<\/a><\/b>
\nIt’s been a couple of months since I’ve posted about Lusi, the Indonesian mud volcano<\/a>, mainly because I hadn’t found anything significant to report. Sadly, in this case, it seems that no news was bad news, and last week’s reports<\/a> that one of the dykes preventing the sludgy tide from engulfing more of Surabaya<\/a> had burst seems to confim that despite some early optimism<\/a>, the mad concrete ball-dropping scheme has failed to appreciably stem the flow.
\nToday comes news that the Indonesian authorities are set to try a new strategy, although at present none of the stories I’ve read seem particularly clear on what this actually involves. According to Physorg<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The latest attempt will try to plug the mudflow using inverted pressure in the area where spoil has built up around the crater.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have no idea what ‘using inverted pressure’ means. Given the mention of ‘spoil’, I’m hoping that it’s not just a posh way of saying ‘try to block the vent by dumping stuff in it’. Any ideas?
