Something to watch over us

Article Abstract:

The Global Earth Observation System of Systems, or GEOSS would hook up satellites, ground based stations and oceanographic and atmospheric instruments and will be used to share data on variety of global phenomena, from sea-surface temperatures, through rainfall totals and to land-use patterns. GEOSS would link more than 50 Earth-observing satellites with thousands of oceanographic buoys and terrestrial observing stations.

Breaking new ground

Article Abstract:

The Great Earthquake and subsequent fire that destroyed San Francisco in 1906 changed the country's geological scene. The earthquake happened in the right time and place to act as a catalyst for science and chance brought together several ingredients, the right people, the right technology, key ideas in need of testing, and a huge earthquake delivering the data.

Resonant slow fault slip in subduction zones forced by climatic load stress

Article Abstract:

The periodic slow slip is shown to be a resonant response to climate-driven stress perturbations. The resonant slip is found to initiate within the rupture zone of future great earthquakes, suggesting that slow slip might illuminate fault properties that control earthquake slip.
