With billions of people staying at home, the earth is vibrating measurably less. Has anyone heard whether Hawaii researchers discussed this affect?
This respite in seismic noise, while it lasts, may allow scientists to better study the natural activity of the Earth’s crust. Researchers, including those who use the impact of crashing ocean waves to predict volcanic behavior and those responsible for triangulating the location of an earthquake’s epicenter, may be able to detect more minute changes and gather more precise data, possibly leading to a geological boon.
One of very few positives to come of the coronavirus crisis has been the chance for us to appreciate the joys of nature—and now, for us to better understand the workings of this planet that we inhabit. So let’s grant ourselves this spring of hope! We need it more than ever!
