They gather still the clouds of Taranaki...... mmm love that song.

Moorfnz, you must be getting some grey hairs from all this rumbling. Has there been any measurable movement in the land with or since the Churchill quake?

Jeez! What's going on in Switzerland? Is it usually seismically active? if not, seems a little excessive!

Not really. That list starts in October. If you remove everything under 1.0 and only include Jan it looks like this.

Which is not unlike what I posted earlier and is certainly not excessive.

And if you look at the Quakes in Czech,Poland,Germany and France in the same Timeframe?

Edit: Found the GRFO Heliplot for Germany...now i just need help what to look out for. There was a Picture awhile back which Line what means...


Edit 2: Looking trough PuterMan´s Learning Materials...Ugh,thats complicated Stuff cO

Well you have to get a star for the comment!

Looking trough PuterMan´s Learning Materials...Ugh,thats complicated Stuff

It is not that bad really!!

To save people looking the link for that heliplot which is hosted on USGS.

Edit to say: I get an error coming up on that page but clicking through the box about 6 times eventually gets rid of it and then everything seems fine.

In regard to the Buoy data thread? Are you any sooner in creating one?

Hi all, this is a bit off topic, but I thought you might enjoy it.

ATS is having a short story writing contest, with the theme being what led you or drives you on ATS.

I ofcourse, chose something to do with geology. I actually chose to write a true story about my experience when Mount Saint Helens errupted.

Here is Link to the story. I thought some of you (with your great personal experience) might be compelled to share your stories too!!!


Okay, on-topic: It sure has been an active year so far! I am going to take a wild guess that Putermans prediction has a very good chance of coming true.

Um, Something amiss - heads up!

You indicated that you thought there was something significant about the buoys. To be honest I cannot find anything that to me seems wrong, only perhaps with data being manipulated but at the end of the day this has nothing to do with any consequences upon the earth such as are occasioned by earthquakes and volcanoes.

As you are I assume very aware, the two subjects - earthquakes and volcanoes - are my main interests (with a bit of weather as well) and, without some guidelines as to what it is that you consider is significant, I regret that I am going to have to say that I cannot divert my time to this cause.

If you start the thread then I am sure that you will get many interested, as indeed I will be to see what it is that is perceived as the problem.

I do apologise for indicating that I would create a thread if you were not going to, but I am afraid I do not have the time to do this justice at present. Sorry.

I get a quake of 2.5 under 100 miles from me and I'm not even home for a chance to say " hmm was that the wind or an earthquake "

I'm getting a bad feeling about this....

All that rumbling in California, and although we haven't had many quakes lately, check out the depths:

I know it may not seem like much in comparison...but we nomally have them pretty shallow. It makes me think it involves the subduction zone vs the plate.

Post retracted as it was a mistaken realization.

I found more earthquakes in an area I thought was inactive.

I know that this quake is tiny but I can't remember seeing much movement . . . if any movement . . . recently along this fault line . . . I could be mistaken though.

Magnitude 1.7 - OFFSHORE OREGON

edit on 12-1-2011 by nonnez because: link

There is actually a pretty decent amount of activity around there but I haven't noticed one in that direct area. You could look through the history though.

I will cross my fingers and say westcoast is wrong, sadly we are overdue though.

Wow, not sure where I was when those happened. My computer must have been broken for a few years . . . lol.
