Hi Scott...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the headlines!
I'm still kinda shocked (but not) by this one that I just ran across. What do you think? Think it will make it into the U.S.'s main stream media?

Scott,
ReplyDeleteDid you post info on the increase of earthquakes past to present in groups of 38 year increments?
It was very impressive, but I'm having a dickens of a time trying to find it again [I thot I saved it as important, but apparently not...]
DrNo - I have that information on a power point presentation...For a small fee, I'll be glad to find that information :)
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. I'll find it and put it on this comments page later tonight - I'm on the run right now - but I should be able to find it quickly.
Alice - Let me take a look at that link later and I'll get back on that
Many thanks!
Scott
Here it is DrNo:
ReplyDeleteQuakes > 6.9
1863-1900 = 12
1901-1938 = 53
1939 - 1976 = 71
1977 - 2014 = 151
Not to mention this. I have old slides from about 10 years ago when we were averaging ~ 20,000 quakes a year (total) and its already jumped to 30,000 a year now. (I know because I have had to revise those slides over and over)...Thats 50% increase in 10 years in total quakes
Scott,
ReplyDeleteNot to keep pestering you, but where did you originally post that, and did you compile that data yourself or pick it up elsewhere?
No, it was something I found elsewhere. Its in my presentations, and I don't have the link. I could probably find it with some digging. I normally have the reference of all my slides, but for some inexplicable reason, I didn't on this particular slide. It COULD have been a tangent from the USGS. Let me see if I can dig it up. (I may have it bookmarked now that I think about it. )
