Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.4 Japan*5.2 Gulf of California*5.2 Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge ~ Pg 20426 Avalanche of water complaints followed EPA’s assurances that Pennsylvania fracking was safeThousands of complaints about drinking water have been discovered coming from communities near fracking activity. This casts doubt that on the claims by the Environmental Protection Agency that fracking isn’t causing widespread damage to drinking water. After a four-year study, the EPA had issued a June 2015 report that concluded that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, could be carried out safely and did not generally pose a threat to water supplies. However, EcoWatch reports that Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has received 2,309 water complaints from 17 of 40 counties where fracking took place. Of those, 1,275 can now be viewed by the public, thanks to the investigations of non-profit Public Herald. The sheer number of complaints casts a shadow over EPA’s claims, since Pennsylvania’s official tally of water degradation is only 271 for all 40 fracking counties in the state.

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.4 Japan*5.2 Gulf of California*5.2 Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge ~ Pg 20426 A solar friend shared this with me. Good read. Quake early warning system could save lives. But it's stalled over money disputeWhen a magnitude 6.0 earthquake hit Napa in 2014, an earthquake alert system gave researchers in San Francisco about eight seconds of warning before the shaking began. Just last month, 30 seconds of warning reached downtown L.A. before the ground shook from a magnitude 4.4 quake centered near Banning. Despite these successes, the early warning network is stymied by a lack of funding that has delayed full rollout of the system. The White House this week highlighted advances of the system by bringing together top scientists, politicians and emergency managers in Washington who marveled at how it could give residents as well as emergency officials and businesses precious seconds of warning before a devastating quake. But behind the cheerleading, state and federal officials are battling over who should pay for the system, which uses hundreds of sensor stations embedded in the ground to monitor earth movement. Congress and President Obama have kicked in about half the annual $16-million cost to operate the system. But federal elected officials say state governments in California, Oregon and Washington should also cover some of the operating costs. Those states have so far refused, with some officials saying the warning system should be a federal program. Lots more here [ link to www.latimes.com] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.4 Japan*5.2 Gulf of California*5.2 Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge ~ Pg 20426 Another one our solar friend shared : ) NASA Damage Maps May Help in Future QuakesNepal's magnitude 7.8 Gorkha earthquake caused significant damage and loss of life in 2015. In natural disasters like this, it is critical to locate areas that are in the most need of assistance as fast as possible. Quickly assessing and communicating where the hardest-hit areas are and prioritizing which regions or communities have the greatest need for first-response teams is difficult when a disaster unevenly devastates various parts of a large area. It helps to get a bigger-picture view of where the damage is located from a high vantage point: low-Earth orbit. Researchers led by Sang-Ho Yun at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, have developed a way to make maps of damage using the remote sensing technology of satellites. This method works even if the satellite images are taken at night or when skies are cloudy. They recently published the results of using this new approach, to study impacts of the Gorkha earthquake, in the journal Seismological Research Letters. "Our mapping system shows great potential, especially for isolated remote areas where there is no communication and the roads are blocked. Those are the communities in desperate need of help, and our maps could help responders provide efficient assistance," said Yun. [ link to www.jpl.nasa.gov] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |
