| Fault Capable of M7.0+ Earthquakes Discovered in Idaho Posted: 23 Nov 2010 10:24 PM PST “While looking at a highly detailed new topographic image of Idaho's Sawtooth Range, Idaho State University geosciences professor Glenn Thackray had an “eureka moment” when he discovered a previously unknown active earthquake fault about 65 miles, as the crow flies, from Boise. ISU researchers estimate the fault has been active twice in the last 10,000 years, about 4,100 and 7,000 years ago.” Quoted from the ISU press release.    |
| Activity at Indonesia’s Gunung Bromo Volcano Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:40 PM PST Gunung Bromo (Mount Bromo) is a small but active volcano on the Indonesian island of Java. Government volcanolgists have placed Bromo at the highest level of eruption alert.  |
| Barnett Shale Gas for LNG Export Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:26 PM PST Freeport LNG and Macquarie are working on a project to produce liquefied natural gas from Barnett Shale wells and export that gas from Galveston, Texas to overseas locations where prices are higher.  |
| Australia to Japan: Long-Term Rare Earth Supply Agreement? Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:24 PM PST Japan, the world’s largest importer of rare earth elements, is searching for new sources of supply since China is reducing their exports. Japan may have a long-term source of supply in Australia.  |
| Volcanic Activity at Anak Krakatau, Indonesia Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:14 PM PST “The thick brown plume of ash, steam and volcanic gas rising from Anak Krakatau in this true-color image is a common sight at the volcano. Responsible for one of the largest and most destructive eruptions in Indonesia's history, Krakatau still erupts frequently.” Quoted from the Earth Observatory image release.  |
| Posted: 23 Nov 2010 09:02 PM PST Ideas for earthquake warning systems have been discussed for decades. Why have so few been implemented?  |
| Phytoplankton Bloom off Namibia Coast Posted: 23 Nov 2010 03:24 PM PST “Ocean waters glowed bright peacock green off the northern Namibian coast in late November 2010. These bright swirls of green occur along a continental shelf bustling with biological activity. Phytoplankton blooms often occur along coastlines where nutrient-rich waters well up from ocean depths.” Quoted from the Earth Observatory image release.  |
