Quake Watch 2009

OK, here it is for everyone's informational use, the user maintained Quake Watch thread for this year. Started since there may well be demand for it.

So, obviously I'll start with one we already know:

Magnitude 7.6 - NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF PAPUA, INDONESIA
2009 January 03 19:43:54 UTC
Depth 35km

And, then there are obviously useful websites. Listed here are useful ones for getting informational pages, rather than seismograms.

USGS

EMSC (European and Mediterranean)

British Geological Survey

Yellowstone Earthquakes

The last is almost a joke, who reading this on the day it's posted won't know that .

Additionally, there is also this one for the Cascade Range:
PNSN


Links here on ATS:

Quake Watch 2008

Related links/data for active yellowstone thread. Lots of useful links for Yellowstone, as well as a fair few useful Earthquake site links.

And that is basically all I need to say here, post anything that seems significant. A good guide is to say anything larger than 5 or 6 Magnitude, or in an unusual place (Britain, the middle of New York, etc.).

There was a Mag 5.3 in Argentina just now.


USGS: Magnitude 5.3 - SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO, ARGENTINA
2009 January 03 21:15:00 UTC

It seems there is a second quake over in Papua at that magnitude.

Magnitude 7.5 - NEAR THE NORTH COAST OF PAPUA, INDONESIA
2009 January 03 22:33:41 UTC
Depth 33km

Yup...




Click here for most recent map:
USGS: 10-degree Map Centered at 0°N,135°E

For anyone interested, here it is on a seismogram, a long distance away (Old Faithful, in fact. It just happened to be open at the time):


The first event is the one in black, at around 1300 MST, the Second is the green at the end, showing the difference in P and S waves getting there.

I'm watching for activity within the Ring Of Fire!
Indonesia is definitly a hot spot, it's been having regular activity for the last six months.

5+ Quakes list.

Lets keep ATS tidy guys?

Have Firefox anyone?

For those who don't know want an add on that shakes your browser when a quake occurs, lists the most recent quakes? and takes you straight to a data/map page for the most recent ones?

Its here:

EQuake Alert FireFoxAdd Ons

Want to listen to the USGS guy who predicted a quake and was sacked/resigned over it from the USGS because he wouldn't keep his mouth shut talk about the Yellowstone swarm on Coast to Coast 2 nights ago?

Its here:Windows Media Player C2C

Enjoy

There was a 5.6 in California today?? I don't see it.

Man-o-man...if I lived in Indo I would be hoppin' a rice boat outta there...it's just 1 M5 after another M4...over and over...ya know they gotta be sittin' out in a field shaking their heads...and to top that off I thought I saw somekind of flood statement around there earlier?

My equake hasn't shown the most current 5.0 in Indonesia yet? Wonder why it's so slow?

Ok I'm gonna be watchin' europe...the past couple of days eq's started in the east by turkey and kept moving west till they hit morocco...now it's afghanistan moving east to poland...next should be east or around there?

Good Point have you seen this site?

European Mediterranian Seismological Survey


Much better than USGS for this area Hx3_1963

Njoy,

This is what got me looking earlier...notice the "line" from the Right (NE) through Utah Coming down to SoCal?




This is also interesting...notice how events are mirrored from one side of the globe to the other...follow the grids...



all the alaska chain quakes remind me of all the earlier quakes around the southern coast of europe from a couple of days ago...notice the grids about the same only mirrored...hhhmmm
