Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by PuterMan


I am interested!!!! Thank you for sharing the link ( I am still waiting on it to load).

I have only been Quake watching and truly learning about A LOT in the last year....so I am new to the science and facts of EQ's and Volcanoes.

For those of you have been Quake watching longer and studying/researching them I have to ask ....

Are you seeing an increase?

I do see an increase when studying the data from previous years but again I am new to this so I am curious to what other observers opinions are.

Thanks!!!

WOW! After reading and some scanning of the papers you linked us to all I can say is re write the text books! Never should old ideas be kept without new ideas being evaluated. Scientists and the like can really hold on to theories that do not represent new facts. I liked the papers very much and I hope to read more in regards to whether or not the community will embrace it with open arms (yeah I know...I am laughing too) ....and I sincerely hope the text books will be re written to conform to our new ideas as they seem to correlate with what is indeed happening to the Earth. From the Big Bang, to Entanglement, to our Earths Core, Planetary issues and so on.....I LOVE IT!

Thanks again!!!!

Peace to you and yours! xoxoxox

The observed abrupt increase of seismic and volcanic activity on our planet for the last few years makes it necessary to combine international efforts with intellectual and technological potential, for maximum decrease of risks from natural cataclysms. One of the most obvious ways to decrease the number of victims and amount of damage from strong earthquakes is rapid development and application of new effective earthquake forecasting technologies.

Never mind.. this site answered my question.

Because its not a new spot.
See this image from Geoscience Australia, "where do earthquakes occur"...

My first thoughts when I seen the area was 'Marble Bar", huge open cast iron mining region.
Not sure if has anything to do with the quake.
I lived in Port Hedland for a couple of months prior to Cyclone Tracy 1974 which destroyed the new PH housing estates being built just out of town.
Incredible landscapes around there, as good as anything Arizona and New Mexico has

Thats a pretty interesting Newsletter there

I couldn't find the answers though, too many words

Probably another "explosion" in the English channel.
But I shall post it here just incase its not an old WWII bomb and is in-fact an Earthquake!

hi alfa1,

sorry your map didnt make much sense to me...

what i meant was NO major fault/ zones etc near todays 4.5
and no really recent history of E/Q's there...

so i was thinking of the mining industry, myself...

but i recognise the fact that there is some very OLD geology over there...
in W.A....

gday muzzy,

+ thanks again...

yeah, i agree...
i was thinking MINING industry,too.
+ who knows what they get up to done there,
with their big machines, and BIG explosions...

maybe weakening unknown faults / fractures / etc...

anyway, no big deal,
just thinkin'... it was odd to just pop up there today, out of the blue...

what's going on here???

I found this EQ odd as well. I wonder what to make out of the ones today as they seem to be releasing as needed but also wondering which place will Blow its lid.

I do not have time to research this; but are these harmonic in nature?

Help,PuterMan!

I lost the webicorder links from your signature for WHAR and FX40A!!! My computer restarted overnight (Thanks, Windows 7) and when I came here to grab the links,they were gone.

Could you "refresh my memory",Please?

Thanks!

The West Chile Rise quakes are about where there have been foreshocks prior to a big Chile quake on the Peru-Chile Trench in the past, but its usually within hours, so nothing yet.
Combine that with the Carib quakes and there the might just be something coming for Central America or the North of South America ie Equador or Peru maybe.
Or perhaps it already happened

Oops and I took them out of my signature as well to make way for other things.

They can all be found here on the Arkansas page under lists & seismos on the right hand side.

reply to post by boo1981


No, I believe it was actually an earthquake this time.

Rattled the teacups of the old ladies of Worthing!

reply to post by PuterMan


Thank you soooo very much!!!!!

I`ve got the Fracking Arkansas page link on my desktop now, too.

You are a great resource, and you are appreciated more than you know!

Thanks again!

As you say a whole ton of stuff. The general consensus there seems to be that the sun is active before major earthquakes, by which they mean mainly mag 6+

I read pretty much the whole newsletter yesterday. Some really interesting stuff about the Japan earthquake as well and a whole raft of data on how the earth was formed more tectonics debunking of course.

Re the solar thing I have embarked on an exercise comparing spikes in the magnetometer at Gakona to the onset of mag 6+ earthquakes. I have done April to November 2010 so far and March 2011. I am intending to do the whole of 2009 as well before I publish my findings.

I have to say that at present it is NOT conclusive but I will wait and see.

ETA: By the way my theory of 30 to 50 years cycles of superquakes (8.5+) is validated in the newsletter as well. It seems I am not the only person who has noticed this. IF this is the case then my assertion that we will not see another superquake for a while should hold good.

It took me a couple of hours to read the papers but it was well worth the read. Although I saw a relation between the EQ's and the Sun I could not nor did I (do i) have the knowledge to know how it does. Good luck with your studies and I appreciate what you do and the insight you offer on the subject.

As you stated the papers are very interesting in many regards and I look forward to new ideas and theories because frankly I believe the old ones are being held on so tight that it is causing us to remain at a stand still.
