The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, or PNSN, collects and studies ground motions from about 400 seismometers in the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington.PNSN monitors volcanic and tectonic activity, gives advice and information to the public and policy makers, and works to mitigate earthquake hazard.
Earthquake eruption checks confirmed that most earthquakes occurred between 0:40 and 1:50 PM. The big earthquakes were about thirty seconds apart at 1:47. They were followed by more than 50 aftershocks until 15:12 PM, when there was an earthquake of magnitude 3.3 and then the cycle and seismic activity in the region reduced again.
The Seismology Division and Earthquake Risk Evaluation Centre of the India Meteorological Department merged with NCS in August 2014 to more effectively monitor and research seismological activity. The Centre's objective is to improve understanding of earthquake processes and their effects through seismological research and monitoring.
Seismic activity had decreased by 29 October, but over 7,000 earthquakes had been recorded by that date since the beginning of the swarm. On 30 October, GPS data confirmed ongoing deformation at around 4 km (2.5 mi) depth, with 1,300 earthquakes detected in the previous 24 hours.
Icelandic authorities said on Friday they were still on alert for a volcanic eruption in the southwest Reykjanes peninsula, although the odds were falling after a drop in seismic activity. Iceland ...
