First views of an underwater eruption: When the National Science Foundations Ridge 2000 program was launched in the late 1990s to study active undersea volcanic activities, researchers chose several areas of interest. One of those is located about 400 miles west of Mexico along a massive volcanic mountain range called the East Pacific Rise. When the...; Tags: Energy &, Environment, Science &, Nature, eruption; Blog posts 2006-11-26

Big earthquakes trigger tremors worldwide: U.S. researchers who have studied 15 earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 7 since 1990 have found that at least 12 of them triggered smaller quakes thousands of miles away. Their study shows that large earthquakes routinely spark jolts worldwide, 'including on the opposite side of the planet and in areas...; Tags: Researcher, Wave, University Of Utah, Velasco, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-05-27
Mapping a submarine volcano with a robot: Researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution WHOI have recently used their robotic underwater vehicle called ABE short for Autonomous Benthic Explorer to 'paint' stunning images of a submarine volcano submerged about a mile deep in the Pacific Ocean, and located about 290 nautical miles northeast of New Zealand. As...; Tags: Robot, Sonar, ABE, Caldera, Robots, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-21
A new weapon against tsunamis: A new mooring system has been developed by U.S. researchers to install a seismic monitoring station on the top of an active underwater volcano in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. According to the researchers who installed the underwater earthquake monitoring system on top of Kickem Jenny volcano, their Real Time Offshore...; Tags: RTOSS, Kickem Jenny, Real-Time Offshore Seismic Station; Blog posts 2007-05-12

A deep-sea observatory in California: The National Science Foundation NSF is funding the installation of a deep-sea observatory installed on the Monterey Bay sea floor in California. The first step of this project was completed last week when a 32-mile (52 kilometers) cable was installed 900 meters (3,000 feet) below the ocean surface. This cable...; Tags: Science &, Nature, Engineering &, Innovation, Energy &, Environment; Blog posts 2007-04-07
Recording earthquakes on the sea floor: The vast majority of the earthquakes are located underneath the oceans where they are not recorded because of a lack of instruments. This is why the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution WHOI has developed a new kind of ocean bottom seismometers OBSs to record both small and large earthquakes on the...; Tags: ocean bottom seismometer, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Blog posts 2006-02-27
