Scientists at the Technische Universität (TU) Dresden have discovered massive post-glacial rebound in the Patagonian ice field at the southern tip of South America. Together with their colleagues from Chile and the USA, the researchers can prove the land is actually moving upward as the glaciers that once weighed it down melt away.

Using GPS technology, the Patagonia-based team measured the largest post-glacial rebound anywhere in the world thus far, an exact rate of 39 mm per year. Spanning more than 5,000 square miles, the southern Patagonian ice field is the worlds second largest ice mass in the southern hemisphere after Antarctica.

Two factors are coming together here, explains project manager Reinhard Dietrich from the Institute for Planetary Geodesy at the TU Dresden.

First the decrease of the ice, which began after the small ice age about 120 years ago which has now reached a major annual loss of 30 gigatons or about 30 cubic kilometers. This increasing loss of ice is clearly associated with climate change that has occurred over recent decades. Secondly, the lithosphere and earth mantle have the properties to compensate especially quickly for massive changes on the earths surface.”

This compensation process is known by the scientific term glacial isostasy. The earth’s crust sits atop a layer of very hot rock known as the mantle, which can stretch and flow under pressure. The weight of the glaciers once displaced some of the the mantle below, but as the ice melts away, the mantle is flowing back and pushing the crust upwards.

These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. This scientists is willing to give a full explanation. This is pressure on the rocks causing a static discharge or radio/digital wave from the earth before a great quake.

Haiti Quake Prompts More New Madrid Earthquake Predictions

(Springfield, MO) — A devastating earthquake like the one in Haiti could happen here.

A minor quake just 200 miles away in Northeast Arkansas Wednesday afternoon is a reminder that we are not immune.

The New Madrid fault line runs through Eastern Missouri and three other states. Experts say any big movement there might impact millions of people.

But when will it happen and how will it affect us? Tracking and preparing for it is no small feat.

For 200 years, the earth below the town of New Madrid has been something of a sleeping giant.

“Certainly New Madrid is something to be aware of and concerned about,” says Dr. Doug Gouzie, MSU professor of Geography, Geology and Planning.

Earthquakes in the early 1800s have become somewhat legendary in the area, leaving people wondering, when will the giant awaken? Scientists like Gouzie say it’s hard to tell.

“Everything we know about New Madrid, it’s going to happen. It’s just a function of when,” says Gouzie.

It’s something scientists monitor with high-tech equipment. A simple model shows what an anticipated 7.7 magnitude quake could do.

“The closer to the center of the quake you are, the more effect it will have on short buildings. The farther away, the more effect on tall buildings,” explains Gouzie.

So where would that leave Springfield?

“We’re on the edge of the risk. The rocks here are fairly stable and solid,” says Gouzie. “In the big picture, Springfield’s in good shape, but much of our state may have bigger effects.”

And that has emergency managers like Larry Woods making plans.

“Becoming a staging point for efforts going into the New Madrid area,” says Woods, Assistant Director at the Greene County Office of Emergency Management.

Responders would use the Ozarks to ready much-needed crews and supplies. Research out of Virginia Tech shows a large scale New Madrid quake could result in 80,000, 3,500 fatalities and millions of people displaced. It has crews asking locals to be prepared.

“We like 72-hour, 96-hour kits; a tub full of supplies to sustain yourself,” says Woods. “We preach be as sustainable as possible. The more you take care of yourself, we can help people who can’t.”

The last statewide earthquake drill was in 2007. Emergency managers say there are plans for another, as well as, a national earthquake drill in the next few years.

There’s no way to precisely predict when the big New Madrid quake will happen. But, there’s lots of research out there. People KOLR/KSFX spoke with say the best information is within the next 50 to 150 years. One stat says there’s a 20 to 40 percent chance of a 6.0 quake on that fault line in the next 50 years.

As for the impact in Springfield, it would feel like a large truck rumbling by and some older buildings might show some cracks. The biggest thing we’d see is the relief effort deploying from here.

SANTIAGO, Chile – Chile’s government says 76 people are confirmed dead in a giant earthquake that has collapsed buildings and set off a tsunami.

The death toll comes from the deputy interior minister, Patricio Rosende. His boss, Edmundo Perez Yoma says: “the death toll will continue rising.”

The magnitude-8.8 earthquake has caused a huge wave that reached a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islands off the Chilean coast. Tsunami warnings have been issued over a wide area, including South America, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands.

The earthquake struck early Saturday.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Chile early Saturday, killing at least 64 people, collapsing buildings and setting off a tsunami.

A huge wave reached a populated area in the Robinson Crusoe Islands, 410 miles (660 kilometers) off the Chilean coast, said President Michele Bachelet.

Tsunami warnings were issued over a wide area, including South America, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands.

“It has been a devastating earthquake,” Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma told reporters. He said at least 64 people have been killed, and “the death toll will continue rising.”

Bachelet declared a “state of catastrophe” in central Chile.
