Caltech’s Seismic Innovation Uses Undersea Earthquakes to Shake Up Climate Science

Sat, 19 Sep 2020 19:56:00 +0200scitechdaily (en)

Despite climate change being most obvious to people as unseasonably warm winter days or melting glaciers, as much as 95 percent of the extra heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse gases is held in the world’s oceans. For that reason, monitoring the temperature of ocean waters has been a priority for....

Scientists use Indian Ocean earthquake data to tell how fast it is warming

Sat, 19 Sep 2020 10:46:00 +0200thehindu (en)

Scientists have developed a novel method to determine how fast the Indian Ocean is warming by analysing the sound from seabed earthquakes, an advance that may lead to a relatively low-cost technique to monitor water temperatures in all of the oceans. According to the researchers, including those....

Implications for megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis from seismic gaps south of Java Indonesia

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 18:07:00 +0200nature-Earth-and-Environmental-Sciences (en)

Relocation of earthquakes recorded by the agency for meteorology, climatology and geophysics (BMKG) in Indonesia and inversions of global positioning system (GPS) data reveal clear seismic gaps to the south of the island of Java. These gaps may be related to potential sources of future megathrust earthquakes in the region.
