Presuming I did my math right, the median change in altitude is
+1.03 mm year, with a median error of .23mm/yr.

Hi Brian.  Go check out the sunspot images I posted on
alt.binaries.pictures.astro.  Those are massive spots, to say the least.

A University of California, Berkeley, seismologist has discovered a way to
provide seconds to tens of seconds of advance warning about impending ground
shaking from an earthquake.

I don't share my predictions here very often, but for some reason, I
have a feeling you might enjoy this one in particular.  The original
posting is at Earthwaves.  The prediction itself is as it stands.
It's not a thousand mile radius, but it has some components that are

A seismic station in Italy that was recording, in addition to earth
movements, electrical signals.  It detected strong signals hours before the
Sumatra Dec. 26 event.  Reported in AGU Eos November 8. Not sure this link
will work unless you are an AGU member:

On Tuesday, voters in Dover, Pennsylvania ousted the school board members who
pushed intelligent design into the classroom. Dover was the first school
district in the country to mandate that students be introduced to intelligent
design in the science classroom, sparking a ...

Hi all.  I have been woefully remiss in participating here, a
consequence of wearing way too many hats in recent months.  But I come
in peace, and with an offering, a freely available article that I think

Hello, I know very little about quakes, but hope by reading the newsgroup
that I will be enlightened (you all have already taught me a lot from the
messages I've been reading the last few days).  I do have a question, if you
don't mind taking the time.

More about my visit for those kind folks who have expressed interest:
Yes, there are several things named for David Johnston in the St. Helens
area, including the Volcano Observatory.
His presence is sort of everywhere, which was very special to me. I couldn't

I have been trying to find video clips of actual earhquakes on the net,  to
no avail,  has anyone got links that they could post.
thanks

I have Eric Habich's Planet Earth From Space screen saver and noticed
just now that, with the exception of the Russian volcanoes and Mount St.
Helens, most active volcanoes just now seem to be somewhat clustered in
a wide band around the equator (the Aleutian volcanoes aren't ...
