Quake Watch 2013

update to post by PuterMan


It was indeed a mine blast ML=3.7

This means that EMSC and GFZ are in fact in error. These may get removed now I have woken the baby.

If I am given permission I will post the full email reply. It appears that larger blasts can take up to 6 weeks to appear.

For future reference, if anyone needs them, I am now download the mining list and the mining phases list daily along with all the other PDE lists and seismograms (Cascades and Bayou Corne) that I download every day.

Thanks. I cannot remember that Wells 2008 event.

GFZ at 4.4, LDEO at 4.7Ms

Welcome to ATS.... glad you finally made an account. Stay around... it gets more and more interesting.

Are you interested in Earthquakes? I am assuming the answer is yes.

reply to post by MamaJ


Yes, I am very interested in Earthquakes, among other topics covered here at ATS. I've been lurking for about 2 years.

I live on the West Coast of Canada, about an hours drive from Vancouver in the Fraser Valley.

Any pros logged on at the moment to take a look at the Yellowstone seismos....

Seems I have seen these type of signatures before, but could not remember if they were mechanical of not.

Pro is a stretch,.. by a long shot
But could be alot of things not related to deep underground.

just waiting for LISS to tick over, nothing showing since 3:30UTC, so those 2 later ones aren't showing yet.
If correct the LISS graphs are going to be a mess.

sometimes the best LISS graph to watch is an isolated one, I'm going to watch this one, its the clearest (cleanest). You can clearly see the Chile and the Santa Cruz 6's as seperate wiggles.
KNTN (Kanton Island, Kiribati)



according to this the P wave is still 5 minutes away (as I write @ 4:35UTC)

2013-01-31 04:31:31 5.7 10.94°S 165.42°E 10 A Santa Cruz Islands

source for events posted above Geofon-GFZ, they are giving the best coverage on Santa Cruz right now.
This is where Live Earthquake Mashup comes into its own, flick between GFZ, EMSC and USGS
un-tick the "follow" box to stay on the spot, new quakes will come up as they happen.


that last one downgraded 0.1 mag, and moved (still an automatic reading)

2013-01-31 04:31:30 5.6 10.90°S 165.53°E 10 A Santa Cruz Islands

The 2nd mag 6 now showing on KNTN (Kanton Island, Kiribati
I grabbed a screenshot of that, just in case there is a mag 7, that would obliterate the graph into blackness.

Latest adjustments and two more on GFZ

yeah I think KNTN is still the best representation on LISS, the signals are not as big as some other stations but you can define the individual quakes, they are all in proportion to the magnitudes mentioned.

USGS catching up now and some lower mags too

The sudden burst of 6's after a quiet lull feels strange, even though it really isn't. Not used to seeing so many in a 24-hour period after so many 4's and 5's for a while.

Ah, PM beat me to it
