Tsunami-recording in the deep sea

11-19-2007 · EurekAlert!

In order to extend alert times and avoid false alarms, a new seafloor pressure recording system has been designed to detect tsunamis shortly after their development in the open ocean. The project is directed by scientists of the working group 'Marine Observation Systems' at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, part of the Helmholtz Association.

Deep-ocean drilling researchers target earthquake and tsunami zone
12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers fresh from an eight-week scientific drilling expedition off the Pacific coast of Japan today reported their discovery of strong variation in the tectonic stresses in a region notorious for generating devastating earthquakes and tsunamis, the Nankai Trough. The scientists reported their findings at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco.

Long-lived deep-sea fishes imperiled by technology, overfishing
02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Many commercially prized fish from the depths of the world’s oceans are severely threatened by over-fishing and the species' ability to recover is constrained by the fishes' long lifespans and low reproductive success, a panel of experts said today at the annual meeting of the American Association of the Advancement of Science.

From the deep -- Researchers find new species of sea anemone
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers cruising for creatures that live in the deepest parts of the Pacific Ocean found a new species of sea anemone living in the unlikeliest of habitats -- the carcass of a dead whale. A marine biologist would say that discovering a new sea anemone isn't so unusual. But finding one that calls a dead whale home is what sets this new creature apart.

Scientists launch deep-sea scientific drilling program to study volatile earthquake zone
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists begin exploring the origins of earthquakes at their source with the launch of the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment. On Sept. 21, the Japanese drilling vessel Chikyu departs from Shingu Port with scientists aboard, ready to log, drill, sample and install monitoring instrumentation in one of the most active earthquake zones on Earth. Situated off Japan's southwest coast, the Nankai Trough has generated large-scale earthquakes and tsunamis for millions of years.
