Earthquakes in T&T: The UWI Seismic Research Centre confirmed two major quakes hit Monday morning, roughly an hour apart (about 5.45am and 6.55am), with magnitudes around 5.1 and 5.0, felt from Tobago’s Scarborough to Trinidad’s Arima and San Fernando; scientists urged residents not to treat the tremors as a sign a “bigger one” is coming, stressing preparedness instead. Deep-sea science: Trinidad and Tobago’s Deep Wonders of T&T expedition is now past the halfway mark, with researchers reporting new views of the seafloor and discoveries like cold seeps supporting dense marine life, using advanced ocean exploration tech aboard the RV Falkor. Food security research: The Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries marked a successful corn harvest from its pilot programme, part of efforts to boost local feed grain production and reduce reliance on imports. AI readiness for procurement: TSTT and Amplia ran a CIPS workshop at Queen’s Park Oval focused on AI adoption foundations—trusted data, reliable processes, and people readiness—aimed at safer, more effective procurement and supply chain decisions. Microreactors for data centres: Terra Innovatum says Waiken ILW selected its SOLO micro-modular reactors for behind-the-meter power supporting DIRECTV Latin America and SKY Brasil data centre facilities. Data centre uncertainty in Tobago: Plans for a proposed Tier III data centre in Tobago were shelved, leaving stakeholders to question how secure off-site storage needs will be met locally.
