Controversial study suggests vast magma pool under Washington state
Oct. 26, 2009 WASHINGTON -- A vast pool of molten rock in the continental crust that underlies southwestern Washington state could supply magma to three active volcanoes in the Cascade Mountains -- Mount St. Helens , Mount Rainier and Mount Adams -- according to a new study that's causing a stir among scientists. The study, published Sunday in the magazine Nature Geoscience, concluded that the magma pool among the three mountains could be the "most widespread magma-bearing area of continental crust discovered so far." Other scientists dismiss the existence of an underground vat of magma covering potentially hundreds of square miles as "farfetched" and "highly unlikely.. » read more

Massive Landslide Baffles Wash. Officials
landslide mystery: no rain, no earthquake, what triggered this huge land movement?

Bigger Earthquake Looms for West Sumatra
related: Buried Villages to be Declared Mass Graves Indonesian Quake Leaves Trail of Death, Devastation Chance of Finding Sumatra Earthquake Survivors is ‘Almost Zero’ October 7, 2009 Tom Allard, Jakarta The Age, Melbourne SCIENTISTS who examined last week's devastating earthquake in West Sumatra have come to an alarming conclusion: it was not ''the big one'' they have long been forecasting for Padang. The region will likely feel the brunt of a powerful earthquake in coming years that will dwarf the ferocity of last week's quake and could be accompanied by a large tsunami, according to a top Indonesian seismologist. Moreover, last week's quake has done little, if anything, to relieve the immense pressure building kilometres below the surface as the Indo-Australian and Eurasian tectonic plates grind against each other. ''We had all been expecting one in West Sumatra, and when the earthquake happened last week, we all thought 'OK, this is the one we had been anticipating','' said Sri Widiyantoro, an Australian-trained geophysicist from the Bandung Institute of Technology. ''But now we have had a close look at it, we now know that it wasn't.. » read more
Tsunami panic as new quakes rock South Pacific (with video0
Oct. 8, 2009 More aftershocks are expected in coming days after a series of powerful earthquakes triggered a tsunami alert for much of the South Pacific, including Australia’s northeast coast. The latest tremors caused panic on many of the region’s remote islands just days after 184 people were killed when giant waves, whipped up by another earthquake, smashed into Samoa and neighbouring islands. A warning was issued today by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre for some 25 countries and territories stretching as far as Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre issued a tsunami watch for areas off the north Queensland coast but cancelled the alert after more detailed analysis.. » read more
