Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by PatriotsPride


The link you provided has taken me to the 16th July. This si the 5th time this has happened. Is anyone else getting this?

It is a fully correct list from the 16th July going back 7 days, when normally this data would be long gone and not available. If I type the address in I get the normal correct date.

None of the links work however! Oops file not found.

Weird or what!

I just tried it and it worked fine for me,that's odd.

Don't usually see quakes around there.

Data Package for Magnitude 7.0 Vanuatu usc0005ntq now available. (1.2 Mb download)

Working for me now as well. Mmm.

12 hours solid it took to do July and August. I can tell when there are revisions inside the 7 days no problem but ouside it was a matter of going back through the spreadsheets and copies of the 8-30day lists and finding which one was the one where I noticed the change. I also had to go back through this thread to find some. Anyway........

ALL of these are changes MORE than 7 days from the original event.

Note the high proportion of uplifts and in particular uplifts from 5 to 6. Statistically speaking this cannot be an average random picture I don't think. What I can't work out is why? These figures appear in the final lists so what is to be gained? Is it just happenstance? Or is it a device to keep the immediate picture lower until the OMG doom merchants have moved on?

I've often thought of including Mag 6s into my project when things have been quiet with 7s, but that list just shows what a task it would be to keep up with the changes, and thats just 2 months worth

I've noticed with NewZealand quakes that the 5's don't change much, must be easier to pin down right he first time within a few decimal points being ML and below that saturation crossover level you showed in the image a few pages back

But will it stick
Not many 7's in the phase data (although as Pman pointed out those are in mb)

Yes, I have done that package and put it on my site, but I also hesitated. It may go down. Give it until after the weekend. Once back in a working week they will look at it.

Those are just the changes beyond 7 days! There are also several I have not shown where the PDE is different from the current USGS site page. They will change eventually I am sure including the 2 x Vanuatu earlier which have changed on the PDE. Actually I think the PDE is the final list but I am not sure.

Just realised that list is missing one muzzy, the one that annoyed you when it dropped from 6.0 to 5.7 - Kermedec Islands 07 July

I believe you are on to something, Puter. When I heard of the possibility of this revision after the 7 day period, before your great research, it reminded me of some of the revisions that are announced on economic reports months afterwards. I'm not surprised that the biggest category of change was in the 5+ to 6+ column. I think the general public pays little attention to the under 6 category, so announcing a 5.8 when its new, then revising it upwards after it disappears off the 7 day list gets it in under the radar, so to speak.

I wanted to thank you for taking the time to look at this - there are a lot of us out here who appreciate your efforts to keep them honest.

Indeed, an event that was to change all New Zealanders lives forever.

alysha.angel was the first to break the news on ATS Quake Watch 2010 started about here

Interesting revisiting:

Yep, we're all ok here, shaken and slightly stirred, but we have power etc whereas quite a lot don't (including all of rural canterbury!).
I never take tsunami reports lightly, after all, it was a very large quake and there was the possibility...don't let your guard down!

Can 't have been thinking straight!

Originally posted by aorAkiOh hell...I work in the Geology Deparetment and Canterbury Uni...I can tell, already, that there will be a mess (four story building) and I bet a lot of our equipment is damaged...xrf...isotope lab, my lasersizer......

Still no lasersizer: the replacement is (hopefully) being installed end of this month. Didn't lose a microscope
(unlike February) and Isotope Lab was/is o.k. Ditto the XRF/XRD lab. Otherwise it was mostly books off shelves.
There's been a lot of fastening since, even my ovens, crusher, and cabinets. I'm not a seismologist by any means, but those who are are flat out!

Thanks for the memory, sorry to take up space here...

Looks like Eastern Washington is getting some activity.
2.1 Richland WA
3.2 Richland WA

A 4.4, Rolleston way: Geonet

Shook for a while...at least 15 seconds here...enough for the dogs to run around whining for a while, in and out from under this desk...poor buggers.

Yep, I noticed that.

Not a lot of activity in that area this year

edit on 4-9-2011 by aorAki because: (no reason given)

That one hit me hard psychologically - I had just gone out into the paddock to see if I could see the Lights of Hope they turned on in Christchurch to mark the anniversary of the 7.1 and was disappointed as I walked back to the house as I couldn't see them... and then the 4.4 hit.. that awful awful roar... burst into tears

I hear you.
It's just damned unpleasant, unsettling and uncertain.

I saw the lights for a little while, and then the cloud dissipated...I figure it's better I place my hope in something more tangible if they're going to be that fleeting! That said, my hope factor is near nil at the moment...psychologically, these are tough times!

Laser flashes expose Oregon earthquake faults

Laser flashes expose Oregon earthquake faults Scientists using lidar, a system that bounces laser flashes off the ground, have found hidden seismic faults in Oregon, including one on the northern flank of Mount Hood that appears to be active — and dangerous.

Quake swarm in Czech region continues - mag 4,0 hits Sunday pm.

www.irishweatheronline.com...

The earthquake swarm started on Tuesday 23 August and continued Saturday 03 September. While many have gone unnoticed by the local population some of the larger tremors, including more than two dozen quakes exceeding 3 magnitude have been felt in the towns of Chemnitz, Karlovy Vary, Birch, Bukovany and Luby. The latest 4.0 magnitude quake struck at 1:37 PM local time and was measured at a shallow depth of just 1 kilometre. The epicentre was located 5 km SE Luby (pop 2,541) and 74 km SW Chemnitz (pop 247,220).

Reporting the World Over

Carbon sinking might cause earthquakes

Scientists from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and the Côte d’Azur Observatory in France simulated what would happen if carbon dioxide entered an underground reservoir with a common kind of fault nearby. Depending on how and when the injection was done, an earthquake of up to magnitude 4.5 could occur, the team reports in a paper to appear in Geophysical Research Letters.

Why am I not surprised? Fracking / High Pressure injection - all the same as far as I am concerned. Here again we have scientists saying that HPI can cause earthquakes.
