Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2003 21:43:47 -0600 We have come across some Teledyne Geotech S-500 short period seismometers that spent many years on the side of Turtle Mountain in the Crowsnest Pass, Canada (www.frankslide.com/info.html). We're currently re-instrumenting the mountain and are contemplating re-installing these old S-500s on some spare channels (our focus is on seismicity of much higher frequency). Are seismometers of this vintage still trustworthy? They've been buried (unprotected) in soil for 15 years. They look ok externally, but we haven't bench tested them (don't have the pin-out). I don't have the specs/manuals for these seismometers (I'm sure someone at Geotech Instruments can help). If anyone off-hand knows the specifications for these seismometers I would appreciate a note.

Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2003 10:03:05 -0400 Hi gang, Physics Today Oct. 2003 reviewed (very favorably) a new seismology book. It sounds like a winner. For those not a subscriber, I append the complete review. Bob ----------------------- An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth Structure Seth Stein and Michael Wysession Blackwell, Malden, Mass., 2003. $34.95 paper (498 pp.). ISBN 0-86542-078-5 Seismology is the study of earthquakes and Earth structure using the waves that accompany quakes and other Earth vibrations. Analysis of those seismic waves is the basis of most current knowledge about our planet's interior. Seth Stein and Michael Wysession, two highly regarded seismologists, have written a massive book that is a welcome addition to the handful of seismology texts appropriate for graduate or advanced undergraduate study. But with its enormous quantity of material, often presented in detailed figures, and its emphasis on deep-Earth examples, An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth Structure is a valuable reference for specialists as well. The text covers the meat and potatoes of seismology--seismic-wave propagation, Earth structure, and earthquake sources. Much more is presented, though, including plate tectonics, signal processing, seismometry, and inverse theory. An extensive appendix outlines matrix algebra, vector calculus, and even principles of computer programming. Each chapter ends with a brief discussion of classic and current references, followed by homework problems. Some of those problems are designed to be solved with computers. Answers to odd-numbered problems are in the back of the book, and solutions to all of them are available to instructors over the Internet. Stein and Wysession begin their book with an introduction on the societal implications of earthquakes, which, worldwide, cause significant economic disruption and an average of more than 10 000 deaths per year. The authors then present the basic seismological theory, beginning with a rather long section that discusses waves on a string. That treatment is followed by a more traditional development of waves in elastic solids, moving from stress and strain to wave equations. The book fully treats reflection and transmission of waves, including conversions between compressional and shear waves. Theory, starting with reflection and refraction techniques, is then applied to determine Earth structure. Stein and Wysession pay particular attention to waves that travel through, bounce off, or refract around Earth's core. That's perhaps not surprising, because Wysession's research is in deep-Earth structure. The development of wave propagation is followed by a welcome section on the implications of seismological results--particularly Earth's radial velocity structure--for the composition of the crust, mantle, and core. Stein and Wysession thoroughly describe earthquake sources and include a useful account of body and surface waveform modeling. Also notable is their discussion of ground deformation during the entire earthquake cycle, and new deformation mapping techniques, such as those using interference of space-based radar images. The material on plate tectonics highlights one of Stein's research specialties, the thermal evolution of the lithosphere. The text offers a clear and complete explanation of how a single physical process--the cooling of the lithosphere at mid-ocean ridges--controls ocean depth, plate thickness, and heat flow. The description of the heating of oceanic plates as they reenter the mantle at subduction zones is likewise well developed. The mathematical descriptions of the lithosphere lead naturally to a clear explication of the forces that drive tectonic plates. The book presents, as well, extended and appreciated discussions of faulting, friction, and crustal strength. The clear, precise, but sometimes long-winded style of the book reflects its comprehensive nature. The lengthy, thorough discussions contrast with the elegant brevity of Peter Shearer's Introduction to Seismology (Cambridge U. Press, 1999). On some topics, the book's very thoroughness renders it unwieldy, and the mathematical formalism is sometimes more complicated than necessary. Look elsewhere for a quick refresher on Snell's law--even the subscripts have subscripts. The book's numerous figures are a key asset. Those illustrations, available online, often seem to have been constructed particularly for the text. In many cases, they compactly convey large amounts of detailed information. For example, a number of figures illustrate the surprising complexity of the interaction of seismic waves with material having jumps or gradients in wave velocity. That complexity is better conveyed by Stein and Wysession's book than any other text I know of. An Introduction to Seismology, Earthquakes, and Earth Structure is a very good text with an up-to-date point of view. It's a bit expensive for a course textbook, but it is quite versatile. The large amount of material covered makes the book useful for several different courses. As the basis for a standard seismology course, it would work best for the more tenacious student. The text is appropriate for a geophysically oriented plate-tectonics course or for a course on time-series analysis and inverse theory with examples and homework problems taken from geophysics. All in all, it is an indispensable reference for serious students of solid-Earth geophysics.

Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2003 10:28:02 -0400 Imagine my surprise in seeing this text listed. I was a (late) graduate student enrolled in the earthquake engineering program at Washington University in St. Louis where I had seismology with Dr. Wysession. At the time we didn't have a book but used the manuscript from the "soon to be published" text. Along with the other graduate students - it was our job to read each section and provide comments on the text and, of course, to complete nearly all homework problems. Having spent so much time with this text, I can tell you that it is very readable and interesting. I say that as an outsider as I don't have a background in geological sciences. My background is in structural and solid mechanics. The latter made the material very easy to read and understand. I highly recommend the text to any one contemplating a new seismology book.

Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2003 08:22:15 -0500 I stumbled into some posts on PSN in the 1996 era regarding atmospheric pressure changes and their relation, if any to seismic activity. Has there been any further research in this area? (forgive me for being too lazy to read 7 years worth of posts to see.) I built an extremely sensitive barometer using a manometer and optical switch based on a Scientific American article and later modified it into a "dry" version using a flexible diaphragm with a magnet on it and a Hall effect sensor. It measures pressure indirectly by matching atmospheric pressure with a heated chamber and measures the pressure indirectly as temperature change of the heated chamber. The liquid version was sensitive to within about 3/4 inch of water and the dry one is pretty close to that value. It's pretty hard for me to correlate the pressure changes with any activity here as seismic activity is pretty small on this piece of the globe. =20 John Nelson Message

Hi Keith,

Great posting, clearly laid out. Sean-Thomas' Vertical Seismometer is a project I have been intending to tackle for a couple of years. Now your posting has given me the inspiration and the details that I needed to get me started.

Hi John,

I personally have not heard of any research in that regard but it certainly would be interesting to pursue it further. I would also be interested in a more detailed write up of  how your barometer works.

Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2003 11:06:13 -0700 There was an interesting paper in Science some years back that showed a fairly convincing correlation between certain wavelength atmospheric disturbances (harmonic order in the 20s or so) and a seismically detectable excitation in the Earth at the same wavelengths. Another paper in Nature showed annual modulation of Landers aftershocks with activity peaking in September. I think there is pay dirt there, but I've not followed the developments...some times these claims are even retracted after further analysis and thought. Some current paradigms on seismicity, e.g. chaos theory, might suggest that every little factor can have an effect on seismicity (like the butterfly effect). Here are the refs: Gao, S.S., P.G. Silver, A.T. Linde, and I.S. Sacks, Annual Modulation of Triggered Seismicity Following the 1992 Landers Earthquake in California, Nature, vol. 406: 500-504, Aug. 3, 2000.

Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 23:09:46 EDT Hello all: I just received the October 2003 copy of Geotimes. Inside the front cover is an ad from Ward's Natural Science for two horizontal seismographs. A strip-chart model sells for $2,995 and a computer-interface model sells for $1,995. The latter uses software called EQuake. Sure makes some of our homemade units with Larry's electronics a bargain. Does anyone know anything about EQuake? Bob Laney Salem, Oregon Hello all:

Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 22:08:37 -0600 Hi Bob, If it's anything like the system that I saw Ward's selling two years ago at an NSTA meeting, I would say stay clear! The software was not nearly as nice as either AmaSeis or WinQuake or WinSDR and the sensor was very large and would be difficult to cover.

The "kit" has a variety of colors and is meant for computer printer refills. There is eight 60ml bottles in such; with the black color having three bottles. There is also cyan (blue), magneta (~red), and a yellow ink. I've not tried the ink for intended purpose yet; but we'll see how well (or bad) it works in time. Its obvious that this ink could "possibly" be used for those who still activiely use either ink chart recorders or drum recorders. I obtained this "kit" at a local Costco store in their computer/printer ink section for US $16.32. One may have to check other computer stores for the same item availability. All together the amount of ink is 480ml, and in my opinion its a fairly good price for the amount of ink therein. I did try a partial drop of black ink on the end of a toothpick, and it seemed to give sufficient color and a fine trail line for a short distance. The ink drys fast (at least on bond paper)...but isn't waterproof. In short...it "may" work with recorders; but its likely quite dependent on the actual paper used in such.
