AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights two significant seismic events recorded by a monitoring system. The first event is a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred offshore near Nicaragua and El Salvador on November 24, 2016, at a depth of 10.3 km, located 149 km SSW of Puerto El Triunfo, El Salvador. The second event is a magnitude 6.6 earthquake that struck 49 km ENE of Karakul, Tajikistan, on November 25, 2016, at a depth of 12.6 km. The conversation also includes inquiries about the equipment used for monitoring seismic activity, with a link provided to a website detailing the setup, which includes various types of seismometers and a block diagram. The equipment is noted to have been developed with the assistance of Larry Cochrane, a recognized expert in hardware and software for seismic monitoring.

Dave, do you have a link to your equipment setup? What does it take to do something like this?

Hey mate

yes indeed
http://www.sydneystormcity.com/g_phones.htm

It goes through the gear I use the various types of seismometers etc with a block diagram of the setup
There is also a section at the bottom of the page showing the setup I had in New Zealand prior to moving to Australia

You will see I make reference to Larry Cochrane's equip I bought. Larry is in Redwood City, Calif. a bit south of San Francisco
He is a genius at hardware and software development. I have been using his A to D system and software since he developed it in the early - mid 1990's
It has undergone many improvements since those early days. Have a look here for gear he has for sale ...

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
