Magnitude 5.1 at Aysen this morning at 6 a.m. local time: http://
earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Quakes/us2007yiak.php
At 6.2 miles down, it doesn't seem that the magma is exactly surging
upward at this moment, fortunately. They said 6 miles down in the
news report last week.
In Aysen and Chacabuco, today's quake was a VI Mercalli, per ONEMI and
was felt at other sites, including Mercalli V at a town in the
northern part of the same seismic zone (XI) and Mercalli IV at a town
in zone X (map of Chilean seismic zones: http://ssn.dgf.uchile.cl/cgi-
bin/sisnac.pl?Z=13&P=200702&T=3&id_tipo=0 ) .

Usually the Smithsonian volcano listserv will eventually send out an e-mail
about something like this but I've seen nothing. |

news report last week.
Augustine one of the area's most active volcanoes, a large
stratovolcano located in the southern Cook Inlet, about 290 km
southwest of Anchorage, Alaska, has been quiet since 1986. Activity
began last May with an increase in the number of earthquakes followed
by a slow, steady inflation of the volcano, which is being recorded in
detail by the EarthScope Plate Boundary Observatory GPS stations that
are permanently installed on the island.
Movement of Augustine accelerated through December, with the
EarthScope GPS station located closest to the summit moving about 5 cm
in a single day.
"Researchers usually make measurements once a year to record movement
of a volcano," . "The odds of capturing the inflation signal from
Augustine within the short timeframe that it occurred would have been
slim without the permanent EarthScope stations on the surface."
After inflating for several months, Augustine began erupting in mid-
January with a series of explosions. Ash was sent so high into the
atmosphere that jets had to alter their routes as they traveled to and
from Asia.
http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Aircraft/Displays/DutchF16DroppingFlares.jpg
The activity on Augustine may only be beginning. In the past Augustine
has erupted in two phases, an explosive phase and a dome building
phase.
For several months, data from the EarthScope stations showed a steady
inflation as magma intruding under the volcano. At the end of January,
as more magma erupted, the data has started showing that the volcano
is deflating. As the eruption continues, the GPS data will continue to
track the volcano's "breathing" as it shrinks and swells due to magma
movement.
Some of the stations near the summit have been damaged by the ash and
force of the eruptions. The data from this frontier continues to be
invaluable, even after the stations are gone. "You have to think of
them as space probes, hoping they transmit data until last moment."
"Everyone is looking for patterns in the data.
This quality of data is still new to researchers. Research with the
data will continue long after Augustine is quite again. It will lead
to new discoveries about volcanic processes and to better predictions." |

If you had just cut-and-pasted the whole article, or deleted a few parts
here and there, it might have at least appeared that you just neglected to
include the attribution, but your re-wording, and re-phrasing present the
appearance, at least, that an attempt was made to thwart searches intended

Nope.
Over here we have a sense of humour.
Top post now; well that is definitely non-U. As is quoting all the
text from previous quotes.
As it happens I just forgot to post the link to the original article -
which among many others on the OP subject, is quite readily found with
a search engine.
You sad, thin skinned barsturd.
Just as I suspected. Your (necessary) failure to provide any explanation for
your re-wording of the original, puts the lie to your denial.

It may not provide any basis for humour wherever you are but I feel

It could be a little too soon. It's all still just happening, and
what papers and articles there may be on it have yet to be written and/
or published, perhaps. I hope the "let's not scare the tourists"
syndrome isn't a factor here.
The Chilean seismologists and volcanologists were still searching out
the best location for their instruments this past week. If I
understood the daily paper, they were starting to focus their
attention more on an area called Playa Blanca at the end of the week.
The Chilean people seem fairly knowledgeable about these things, as
they should be, having had so much "hands-on" experience, so to speak,
with both earthquakes and volcanoes. Thus, the "Aysen Daily" may be
helpful, though it's printed a day after the event. The Monday
edition is up: http://www.diarioaysen.cl/noticias1.php?id=87 Besides
reporting that the weekend quake caused a landslide and damaged a
salmon fishing operation, it gives names of some of the scientists
involved. A search on those names may help you find more scientific
articles, and perhaps in English-language publications, too.
As for general information, the population in the area is still
panicked, and I'm not sure if, per the current article, they just told
this one salmon operation to leave or all of them. Between that and
the inevitable effect on the tourist trade, a lot of local damage is
already occurring even before the magma breaks through the surface. :-
(
If my Spanish is accurate (it's really fragmentary and very basic at
best), Monday's article in the "Aysen Daily" ends with quite an
exposition by the local senator, who is currently up in Santiago
recovering from heart surgery. He speaks of "parasitic volcanic
cones" and so forth, and about things he has been instructing the
Emergency Office to do. I wonder how much of what he says is
scientifically based; he doesn't quote sources, and politicians are
alike the world over, especially when the voter base is scared by
something.
Another almost real-time source of basic information is ONEMI, in its
blue "news service" box in the middle of the home page: http://www.onemi.cl/
.. Just now they're still covering the two big and fatal fires that
happened over the weekend, but they are quick to put up information
when something major happens in the Aysen/Chacabuco area, or any other
seismic area.

Not at all.
He is in fact a mole undermining the powers of lawyers everywhere and
is not in any fact in any way whatsoever a lawyer of any sort except
in that he promulgates the ancient ways and lores of yore and seeks to
reestablish them in the court of human needs.
Be it understood that the party of he first part is in no way
alienating his once and future right to be called to the bar that one
accepts as the attainment of one's majority in his country.

You are the kook, stilling thinking that your local weather is the
cause of equakes across the globe.
That's the most entertaining part - that there's something uniquely special
ABOUT THE WEATHER WHERE HE HAPPENS TO BE that is connected with global
earthquakes.
Reminds me of the classic sci.geo.earthquakes kook from the late 90s that
was ABSOLUTELY convinced that there was a strong connection with earthquakes
all over the place and - I kid you not - whether there was dew on his lawn
in the morning.
Hmmmm.. dew on British lawns occurs in similar weather patterns to
frosts and mists. Pity I was ignoring your posts and failed to notice
this little gem.
There again, it is a pity you are so small minded. But then, if the
world wasn't full of petty fogging people, what would we talk about in
our tea breaks?
Here, for the more discerning, is something I prepared earlier:
Reappraising these two spells and following the tracks of the cyclones
around Madagascar, I can see that the lunar phases (17th Feb 16:14 and
24th Feb 07:56
deliver virtually the same weather.
If -as it seems, the first one is quintessentially a spell for misty
weather in England <?>and tropical cyclones in the SW Indian Ocean</?>
Not that I am saying the weather in the SW Indian Ocean has to be
maintained. Although it does seem we in the UK will continue to have a
drizzly wet spell with this spell (24th Feb on) that I would have once
unhesitatingly considered a dry cyclonic spell for Great Britain.
It will be interesting -maybe even revealing, to see if the tropical
cyclones (if any) that are produced in it, will be in the same place
or even in the same basin.
One thing that is for sure is that the number of small earthquake
swarms that accompany them, will not decrease. Maybe they too will
move house? |

I saved this missal for future reference merely because you seem to
think asking Usenet to dispose of it after so many days would suit
you. You are a flaming troll who abuses posters rather than makes any
serious attempt to examine anything genuine posters might be saying.
What you will have to do now is have the rest of your trash trashed so
that the more discerning can't actually get to see for themselves this
is so. Difficult where the residue of your detritus is contained in
other people's posts.
As for me whatever I said is readily available for inspection, warts
and all. |
