Seafloor Sensors Record Possible Eruption of Underwater Volcano
vinces99 writes: Thanks to high-tech instruments installed last summer by the University of Washington to bring the deep sea online, what appears to be an eruption of Axial Volcano on April 23 was observed in real time by scientists on shore. "It was an astonishing experience to see the changes taking place 300 miles away with no one anywhere nearby, and the data flowed back to land at the speed of light through the fiber-optic cable ... in milliseconds," said John Delaney, a UW professor of oceanography who led the installation of the instruments as part of a larger effort sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Delaney organized a workshop on campus in mid-April at which marine scientists discussed how this high-tech observatory would support their science. Then, just before midnight on April 23 until about noon the next day, the seismic activity went off the charts. The gradually increasing rumblings of the mountain were documented over recent weeks by William Wilcock, a UW marine geophysicist who studies such systems. During last week's event, the earthquakes increased from hundreds per day to thousands, and the center of the volcanic crater dropped by about 6 feet in 12 hours. "The only way that could have happened was to have the magma move from beneath the caldera to some other location," Delaney said.
There could be a volcano under the antarctic ice!

"It was an astonishing experience to see the changes taking place 300 miles away with no one anywhere nearby,"
Apparently this guy hasn't been following technology much over the past several decades. Either that, or he's very easily astonished.
I support the use of five separate assemblers.
deny that volcanoes exist. I live in Seattle, and I work with several of them that deny that Mt Saint Helens happened. They're just so stupid. So stupid. So many of them care volcano deniers.
One, I'm so tired of posters splitting their comments between the subject and the content. I usually skip reading the subject of every post so to see a comment start in mid sentence is jarring.
Second, if this was an attempt at political humor, it failed miserably. How do you connect Repubs with denying volcanoes? Is this a veiled reference to the birthers, or climate change, STEM, or what?
.
There is a warm "blob" of water almost directly above this volcano http://news.slashdot.org/story...; additionally, this volcano last erupted in 2011, just before the blob and the drought began. Might there be a connection?
What if it's Godzilla?
for a company's operations which if exploited will lead to a significant upward change with desired results such as increase in profits margins and growth. Nike pair of athletic shoes Nike air max pas cher Promotion Promotion includes all communications that a company uses in marketing its products. We have four different elements in promotion; this includes advertising, point of sale, word of mouth and public relations (Brown 1993). If a company incorporates all the four elements then a certain level of crossover do occur. Nike has greatly used this marketing mix to its full advantage. It has incorporated all the four aspects of promotion which as seen the company capture and retain a big share of the market. As discussed earlier, Nike has entered in sponsorship deals with various celebrity sports personalities and professional teams who are used to bring attention to Nike products. The company has sponsorships agreements with Ronaldhno, Christiano Ronald and Wayne Rooney, in football.
"...University of Washington to bring the deep sea online..."
I'd prefer if they'd bring the high mountains online, there are millions of people there every year, in the deep seas not so much.
He doesn't even qualify as a troll, just a fool.
