Quake Watch 2015

a reply to: crappiekat

No problem, just glad some other people share my interest too. i'm a bit obsessed with japan right now, which isn't of interest to everyone
I had a look at Kilauea after you mentioned it, some nice links by Olivine there too
I must say from casual observance that these quakes seem quite high in magnitude for there.
That Debris Landslide sounds scary, could be a M9 and mega-tsunami if it all went at once, glad I live of the West Caost of NZ and not the East. Sounds like the shelf that has formed there might stop/reduce a major collapse.
I should really make an effort to get up there, have only been to Ohau a couple of times, never to the Big Island. Its been active since I have been alive.

I'm assuming the "crater" is Lake Ashi
I haven't really studied the detailed layout yet


maybe this should go to Volcano Watch? but at this stage its just earthquakes, there is no reports of volcanic activity

here is the latest map, 95 events, mag~1=69, mag1=26

If anyone who has the capability to run frequency analysis on the audio in this post and see if there is any seismic component to the sound, it would be most appreciated; presuming the recording quality is sufficient.

Yellowstone......

a reply to: Darkblade71

Glad you posted this one!
I checked over on the Yellowstone thread.
I thought someone would have mentioned it there by now.
But it's deader than doornails there too!

I did find this map:

Read this interesting Article also. Looks like there could be more to those earthquakes.

Kilauea Earthquakes Could Be Warning of New Eruption, Scientists Say

It's nothing new to see one of the world's most active volcanoes spewing lava, but when the ground shifts and multiple earthquakes occur, scientists begin to pay a little more attention.

That's been happening at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano. As many as 20 to 25 earthquakes have been reported in a single hour, and scientists' tilt meters showed the ground was deforming.

At the same time, a lava lake near the Big Island summit rose to a record-high level. Then, the surface of the lava lake dipped nearly 500 feet, and experts are now working to figure out why this happened.

"Clearly the lava, by dropping out of sight, it has to be going somewhere," said Steven Brantley, deputy scientist in charge of Hawaiian Volcano Observatory of the U.S. Geological Survey.

The flurry of earthquakes that peaked in intensity Friday have been rattling Kilauea's southwest rift zone, so it's possible that a new eruption could occur southwest of the Halemaumau Crater, or even in the crater itself, Brentley said. Or, the tilting, shifting ground could lead to nothing.

"We don't know what the outcome of this activity might be," Brantley said. "That is the challenge, is trying to interpret what this activity really means in terms of the next step for Kilauea."

Hey Crappiek, your image is of plates, no quake or map?

Also, reports a strong earthquake in Kathmandu, no details yet?
EMSC

Seems to have been removed from the banner that runs when something that is felt is reported?

Ok think I may have it this time.

Sorry for the mess you guys.

Well CERI is down for me.

I was checking to see if that 6.5 may be ringing bells all over. so maybe they were looking at the helicorders and saw the 6.5

Got a bit behind on Japan, 3 days out. Just loaded 526 new earthquakes.

link for those not logged in

Hakone still popping, 97 events of the 18th JST, 3 of them M2's, still nestling at the north end of Lake Ashi.

Seems to have eased off on the 19th, only 39 events.

Had a few issues with Sync. for Dropbox this week, KML files hadn't loaded for NZ so the maps were blank, I didn't notice as I don't usually check. Had to load using the Dropbox website, takes forever. Have fixed it I think, reboot required. Damn Vista, looking forward to getting My W8 laptop back soon. Never thought I would say that, I hated W8 when it first came out.

funny you seen that, I was looking at my old Firefox favorites this morning, as I have switched over to Chrome and need to reload all the earthquake links,
SCEDC Caltech was one I thought "hmmm need to reload that one".
I see they are still doing the old style maps and lists, good on them .

Calipatria? neverheardofit (until I seen your maps)
Obsidian Butte? ohyeah, Salton Sea area

It has been a while since a M5+ in S. California, last one was Brawley in 2012 wan't it?
I still have the link

Oh no, it was La Habra Aug 2014, my mistake

and of course before Brawley was the April 4th 2010 Guadalupe Victoria, Baja 7.2Mw quake, with possibly the most prodigious aftershock seqences ever seen on ATS, some 20,000 of them
