AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on two significant earthquakes that occurred in the South Sandwich Islands region on March 14, 2021. The first was a magnitude 6.0 quake, followed shortly by a magnitude 5.4 quake, both at a depth of 10.0 km. This area is typically quiet, raising interest in the seismic activity. Additionally, there were two aftershocks recorded, measuring magnitudes 4.7 and 5.5. The conversation also touches on the availability of tensor data related to the main event, with a request for guidance on how to interpret this data.

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words.
