Superstorm Sandy shook the Earth

Science: When Superstorm Sandy struck the United States on 30 October, it didn't just devastate the Eastern Seaboard, it shook the ground as far away as the West Coast, producing tiny vibrations in Earth's crust that were picked up by seismometers there. Scientists can use this activity to track the path of the storm. Now, they say that analyzing past records of these vibrations may help them discern whether climate change has influenced the amount of storminess over the world's oceans in recent decades....
Superstorm Sandy shook the U. S., literally

ScienceDaily: When superstorm Sandy turned and took aim at New York City and Long Island last October, ocean waves hitting each other and the shore rattled the seafloor and much of the United States -- shaking detected by seismometers across the country, University of Utah researchers found. "We detected seismic waves created by the oceans waves both hitting the East Coast and smashing into each other," with the most intense seismic activity recorded when Sandy turned toward Long Island, New York and New Jersey,...
Hurricane Sandy shook the U.S

LiveScience: Hurricane Sandy's fateful left turn toward the mid-Atlantic Coast in October last year lit up earthquake monitors all the way to Seattle, according to results presented at the Seismological Society of America's annual meeting today (April 18). When Hurricane Sandy veered on Oct. 29, the sudden increase in crashing ocean waves sent rumbles through the Earth detectable on seismometers. The wave-on-wave collisions created what are called standing waves, doubling the energy directed at the seafloor,...

Sandy, Katrina a taste of what global warming will bring, UGA ecologist says

Online Athens: Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy were separated by more than 1,300 miles and eight years, but they share one big thing in common, according to University of Georgia ecologist James Porter: They were exactly the sort of destructive superstorms we will see more frequently, as global warming advances and sea levels rise. No single weather event can be chalked up to global warming but climate scientists believe that warmer temperatures will fuel bigger and more frequent hurricanes, Porter told a University...
New Jersey looks to buy out streets, neighborhoods devastated by Sandy

NJ Spotlight: With $250 million in federal money allocated for the effort, DEP Commissioner Bob Martin faced repeated questions yesterday from the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee during a hearing in the Statehouse annex on the agencys proposed budget for the fiscal year 2014.

The agency has been talking with various...
