RANONGGA, Solomon Islands (AFP) - The seismic jolt that unleashed the deadly Solomons tsunami this week lifted an entire island metres out of the sea, destroying some of the world's most pristine coral reefs. In an instant, the grinding of the Earth's tectonic plates in the 8.0magnitude earthquake Monday forced the island of Ranongga up three metres (10 foot). Submerged reefs that once attracted scuba divers from around the globe lie exposed and dying after the quake raised the mountainous l… [more]

The M8.1 April 1, 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake provides a good opportunity to calculate the MS magnitude from your AS-1 seismogram. Or, use the WLIN seismogram (shown in the attachment and available for download at SpiNet, http://www.scieds.com/spinet/). If your station is in the western US, an mb magnitude can also be calculated. For central and eastern US stations, the first arrival is P-diffracted (see map of theoretical travel times at: http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/eq_depot/2007/e… [more]

We picked up the surface waves from one of these, and I was remarking this morning that to see a low 6 from that distance it must be the filters. Very good. Unfortunately, Alan's site is blocked by our school's internet filter.

Earlier John Lahr showed how filtering can make it easy to detect earthquakes. Here's another example. Check out the two images. They show three earthquakes in the last 24 hours. http://home.stny.rr.com/alanjones/ASNoFilter.jpg http://home.stny.rr.com/alanjones/ASFilter.jpg The filtering is the same as John Lahr commonly uses. You can hardly see the earthquakes until you turn on the filtering. This is cool. I was able to do this from home because of a beta version of AmaSeis I am using. The… [more]
