When the scientists’ work is finished in July, 200 seismometers will blanket the Olympic Peninsula. The array is designed to zero in on tiny tremors that someday may provide a warning of mega-quakes ...
The KIRO-TV headline (8/21) was a little obscure: “Seismologists: Seismic event underway that could increase risk of large earthquake in region.” KIRO is the CBS affiliate in the Seattle area and they ...
SEQUIM, Wash. -- The seismometer is snug in its hole and tamped over with dirt. Now it's time for the stomp test. "This is the fun part," says University of Washington researcher Ken Creager, pounding ...
