North Korea has vowed to carry out a third nuclear test, but scientists and concerned foreign governments may have a tough time verifying the actions of the reclusive state. http://phys.org/news279433693.html Technology Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:29:03 EST news279433693 Today the drilling starts for a seismic monitoring network on the Marmara Sea near Istanbul. Specially designed seismic sensors in eight boreholes on the outskirts of Istanbul and around the eastern Marmara Sea will monitor the seismic activity of the region with high precision. In each of the respective 300 meter deep holes several borehole seismometers will be permanently installed at various depths. These detect even barely perceptible earthquakes with very small magnitudes at a high resolution and can thus provide information about the earthquake rupture processes associated with these. http://phys.org/news266242556.html Space & Earth Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:16:03 EST news266242556 Researchers have discovered New Zealand's earthquake-prone landscape is even more unstable than previously thought, recording deep tremors lasting up to 30 minutes on its biggest fault line. http://phys.org/news256966156.html Space & Earth Wed, 23 May 2012 04:29:31 EST news256966156 North Korea remains largely cut off from the Internet and mobile phone technology that links much of modern society, but any nuclear test would be swiftly revealed by global scientists, experts say. http://phys.org/news255147194.html Space & Earth Wed, 02 May 2012 04:00:01 EST news255147194 (PhysOrg.com) -- A study of seismic activity near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport by researchers from Southern Methodist University and UT-Austin reveals that the operation of a saltwater injection disposal well in the area was a "plausible cause" for the series of small earthquakes that occurred in the area between Oct. 30, 2008, and May 16, 2009. http://phys.org/news187448164.html Space & Earth Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:56:32 EST news187448164 First the ground shook in Haiti, then Chile and now Turkey. The earthquakes keep coming hard and fast this year, causing people to wonder if something sinister is happening underfoot.
