They are suggesting a simple traffic light classification system could be used to indicate the probability that a larger event will follow the initial earthquake.Wed, 09 Oct 2019 19:37:00 +0200Stuff-be59172e173806de07d86e25cd045ee520191009193700https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12275057&ref=rssAfter a large quake, could we accurately predict whether an even bigger one is on its way? That's something Swiss researchers have explored in a new study, in which they were able to use a method to make predictions with near 100 per cent accuracy. However, New Zealand scientists say their findings,....Wed, 09 Oct 2019 19:13:00 +0200nzherald-1b4ecf1986bc41e969f476ab6d7c61c220191009191300http://www.natureasia.com/en/research/highlight/13107A simple traffic light classification system that can be used to indicate the probability of a subsequent larger event following an earthquake is reported this week in Nature. The approach may help with managing responses after an earthquake. Large earthquakes are often followed by aftershocks that....Wed, 09 Oct 2019 17:37:00 +0200natureasia-en-2a1ee6641ae030a2825e72b6f5047a2920191009173700https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/did-1964-earthquake-bring-dangerous-fungus-pacific-northwest-180973268/A new study posits that tsunamis triggered by the Great Alaska Earthquake washed Cryptococcus gattii onto the shore On March 27, 1964, Alaska’s Prince William Sound region was hit by a 9.2-magnitude earthquake, the .
