What they found, among other things, was not one general effect but a whole panoply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends on the fault,” says Bürgmann. For example, on California’s most infamous fault, the San Andreas, the snow load in the Sierra “adds compression” to the fault, in effect squeezing together the tectonic plates on either side, so the fault is “slightly less likely to go.” But in the spring, when that snow melts and its weight is redistributed into rivers, reservoirs and soils below, that loading is reversed and the fault is somewhat more likely to slip before the snow returns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The emphasis is always on the ‘little bit,” cautions Bürgmann. “We’re not saying that the San Andreas only has earthquakes in the fall.” A little event in 1906 that you might’ve heard of would seem to confirm that, though Bürgmann says over time, the San Andreas has been a bit more active during the autumn months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No ‘Quake Season’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor are the researchers declaring an “earthquake season” for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not necessarily that every fault is experiencing the same stress that would encourage it to slip at the same time,” says Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every fault has its own orientation,” adds Bürgmann. “It’s at a different stage in its earthquake cycle, and so one really has to consider all those details to make the connection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists’ study period did not include the effects of this year’s record-setting snow volume, but did include the large snowpack from 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bürgmann and Johnson say the data from their work illustrates how stressed California’s faults are, so that very small changes in stress can pull the trigger on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Johnson puts it, “It is advancing the clock on these different faults.” The authors say the work could eventually be factored into forecasting models, to make attempts at earthquake prediction less vague. But connecting single events to shifts in water weight is not in their sights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1975, barely six years after Oroville Dam was finished and its huge reservoir flooded with water, a series of quakes culminating with a magnitude 5.7 temblor shook the area. Did the weight of more than 4 million acre-feet of water and its subsequent rapid release from the reservoir tip the tectonic scale enough to cause the quake? It’s been on the list of suspects for years, but the answer is still a definite “maybe.” The same goes for the 2014 South Napa earthquake, according to Bürgmann, which struck in late summer, as one might expect from the stress model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For any individual earthquake, we never know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bürgmann and Johnson’s study was \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6343/1161\">published on Thursday\u003c/a> in the journal Science.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"As mountain snows and surface water shift around the state, their changing mass can make mischief with seismic faults.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1704928632,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":21,"wordCount":752},"headData":{"title":"Something You Probably Didn't Expect From the Huge Sierra Snowpack: Earthquakes | KQED","description":"As mountain snows and surface water shift around the state, their changing mass can make mischief with seismic faults.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"sticky":false,"path":"/science/1718182/something-you-probably-didnt-expect-from-the-huge-sierra-snowpack-earthquakes","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>The importance of the mountain snowpack to California’s water supply is legendary.

What they found, among other things, was not one general effect but a whole panoply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends on the fault,” says Bürgmann. For example, on California’s most infamous fault, the San Andreas, the snow load in the Sierra “adds compression” to the fault, in effect squeezing together the tectonic plates on either side, so the fault is “slightly less likely to go.” But in the spring, when that snow melts and its weight is redistributed into rivers, reservoirs and soils below, that loading is reversed and the fault is somewhat more likely to slip before the snow returns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The emphasis is always on the ‘little bit,” cautions Bürgmann. “We’re not saying that the San Andreas only has earthquakes in the fall.” A little event in 1906 that you might’ve heard of would seem to confirm that, though Bürgmann says over time, the San Andreas has been a bit more active during the autumn months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>No ‘Quake Season’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor are the researchers declaring an “earthquake season” for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not necessarily that every fault is experiencing the same stress that would encourage it to slip at the same time,” says Johnson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every fault has its own orientation,” adds Bürgmann. “It’s at a different stage in its earthquake cycle, and so one really has to consider all those details to make the connection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists’ study period did not include the effects of this year’s record-setting snow volume, but did include the large snowpack from 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bürgmann and Johnson say the data from their work illustrates how stressed California’s faults are, so that very small changes in stress can pull the trigger on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Johnson puts it, “It is advancing the clock on these different faults.” The authors say the work could eventually be factored into forecasting models, to make attempts at earthquake prediction less vague. But connecting single events to shifts in water weight is not in their sights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1975, barely six years after Oroville Dam was finished and its huge reservoir flooded with water, a series of quakes culminating with a magnitude 5.7 temblor shook the area. Did the weight of more than 4 million acre-feet of water and its subsequent rapid release from the reservoir tip the tectonic scale enough to cause the quake? It’s been on the list of suspects for years, but the answer is still a definite “maybe.” The same goes for the 2014 South Napa earthquake, according to Bürgmann, which struck in late summer, as one might expect from the stress model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For any individual earthquake, we never know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bürgmann and Johnson’s study was \u003ca href=\"http://science.sciencemag.org/content/356/6343/1161\">published on Thursday\u003c/a> in the journal Science.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/science/1718182/something-you-probably-didnt-expect-from-the-huge-sierra-snowpack-earthquakes","authors":["221"],"categories":["science_38","science_40","science_98"],"tags":["science_257","science_3370","science_1864","science_1127"],"featImg":"science_1722791","label":"science"},"science_1089617":{"type":"posts","id":"science_1089617","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"science","id":"1089617","score":null,"sort":[1476920244000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"the-one-minute-drill-that-could-save-your-life","title":"The One-Minute Drill That Could Save Your Life","publishDate":1476920244,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The One-Minute Drill That Could Save Your Life | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"science"},"content":"\u003cp>You’ve probably run through multiple fire drills, but do you know how to prepare for an earthquake?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday at 10:20 a.m. local time, millions of people around the world will join the annual \u003ca href=\"http://www.shakeout.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Great ShakeOut\u003c/a>, where participants practice taking cover during an earthquake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey say nearly half of Americans are \u003ca href=\"https://www2.usgs.gov/blogs/features/usgs_top_story/nearly-half-of-americans-exposed-to-potentially-damaging-earthquakes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exposed to potentially damaging earthquakes\u003c/a> based on where they work and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the San Francisco Bay Area, there’s a two-in-three chance of a major, magnitude 6.7 quake striking during the next 30 years, according to USGS.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To participate in \u003ca href=\"http://www.shakeout.org/california/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s ShakeOut\u003c/a>, ask your employer if the company is planning to practice during the drill.

Advanced techniques can extract robust data from these whispers of information. (Andrew Alden)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the last ten years, a lively field of research has arisen from the Earth’s background noise—what you might call the sound of silence. New research has shown how to monitor offshore oil fields with this quiet, passive technique instead of whale-deafening airgun surveys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything important that we do underground—mining, petroleum production, waste disposal, construction planning and deep-Earth research—relies on seismic technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, we map the underground the same way a doctor examines your chest by tapping on your ribs, only scaled up. A source of energy is set off, a network of sensors records the arrival of the sound waves, and the resulting set of data is massaged to yield a picture of the ground’s structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On land, surveying a building site can be done with microphones set in the ground and the energy supplied by a person hitting a steel plate with a sledgehammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In geological research, natural earthquakes supply the energy that helps us probe the deep Earth. And out at sea, large areas are surveyed using explosive charges or airguns. This practice is effective but expensive, and the extreme noises involved injure whales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newer, gentler technique uses ambient noise as its energy source. It’s analogous to musicians checking out the acoustics of a room. They might walk into the room and clap their hands, sing a few syllables or rap their knuckles on a table. But if they care to, they can do the same by sitting at the table and listening intently to the background noise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, theorists have shown how to make use of the Earth’s various background noises. The most useful of these is basically a steady ambient hum at frequencies well below audible sound, which is produced by ocean waves as they interact with the seafloor near the beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_26969\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2015/02/deRitter-ambient.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26969\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2015/02/deRitter-ambient.png\" alt=\"Ambient seismic noise\" width=\"500\" height=\"434\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ambient seismic field recorded at the Valhall field. \u003ca href=\"https://earth.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/noise.gif\">Click here to watch the field shimmer\u003c/a>, like waves in a pool.

(Andrew Alden)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the last ten years, a lively field of research has arisen from the Earth’s background noise—what you might call the sound of silence. New research has shown how to monitor offshore oil fields with this quiet, passive technique instead of whale-deafening airgun surveys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost everything important that we do underground—mining, petroleum production, waste disposal, construction planning and deep-Earth research—relies on seismic technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Typically, we map the underground the same way a doctor examines your chest by tapping on your ribs, only scaled up. A source of energy is set off, a network of sensors records the arrival of the sound waves, and the resulting set of data is massaged to yield a picture of the ground’s structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On land, surveying a building site can be done with microphones set in the ground and the energy supplied by a person hitting a steel plate with a sledgehammer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In geological research, natural earthquakes supply the energy that helps us probe the deep Earth. And out at sea, large areas are surveyed using explosive charges or airguns. This practice is effective but expensive, and the extreme noises involved injure whales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newer, gentler technique uses ambient noise as its energy source. It’s analogous to musicians checking out the acoustics of a room. They might walk into the room and clap their hands, sing a few syllables or rap their knuckles on a table. But if they care to, they can do the same by sitting at the table and listening intently to the background noise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, theorists have shown how to make use of the Earth’s various background noises.
