HI!!! Guys I need help!! Ok some japan eq questions......... A. Was it a plate convergence that caused the Japn quake? B. What is the offical Mag......stupid question I know but I am pulling up different mags for it, in different places. C. Anyone know of some good pics of the plate movement? ones that can go on a poster (grade 6 school project!!) Love you all!!!

Radiation Station Stats Throughout each day, EnviroReporter.com tallies all ionizing events over a 10-minute period then divides the total by 10 to get a really accurate count per minute or CPM. We began this testing well before any fallout from the Fukushima meltdowns could have impacted Southern California. This helped us establish a baseline background range in order to see any possible spikes in radiation should the Jet Stream finally carry the radiation to this area.
Our RadAlert Inspector Nuclear Radiation Monitor is located in EnviroReporter.com‘s Santa Monica office on the West Los Angeles border. Elevation 140 feet. The unit is approximately one meter off of the ground in a wood-floored structure built over crawlspace with soil foundation. www.enviroreporter.com

Thnaks guys!!

Who is behind ENENEWS???
Who is behind enenews.com, the site known as Energy News, which, for the time being, has been focusing solely on the fallout of the Japanese nuclear disaster?
The short answer is, we don’t know.
A domain registration lookup shows its private registration with the mysteriously named DomainSecrecy.net.
A ping of the domain shows the address of 98.158.182.89, which traces back to the internet domain host provider UK2 Group, which is located in Providence, Utah.
It is a mysterious site, indeed, with no About page, no mention of its authors, contact info, or its sources of funding, despite 144 posts since its inception on March 18, 2011.
With less than one full month online, the site already has a one-month Alexa rating of 129,331th place among over 20 million ranked sites on the Web.
What we do see, however, are scary headlines citing mass media sources, with added editorial. www.nuc.berkeley.edu

Birds may show Japan nuclear disaster's global effects
By Rob Pavey
"We'll be going over what we did almost exactly 25 years ago," said senior research professor emeritus I. Lehr Brisbin.
During the American Ornithologists' Union's meeting in Florida later this month, Brisbin hopes to organize a workshop on how Japan's crisis might affect migratory birds.
Radiation from Chernobyl was found in many parts of the world in birds that traveled through the site's exclusion zone, he said, and birds flying along Japan's coastline could be similarly affected. chronicle.augusta.com

@elainekirk Fantastic. I have seabirds migration books, , but they are all in my boat in Malaysia :-((((

@elainekirk Just back

@jilly_uk Hi welcome. If we know the migration map of birds passim over Japan. We can check on then as they arrive in other parts of the world. Universities and Birds love groups can see if we can try track the spreed of the radioactive disaster in bird families

Is there an equivalent to the RSPB or BTO in Japan? These would be the ones who would know about patterns specific to Japanese species. Ringing is the most common way to determine migration patterns. Satellite tracking is expensive. It would be worth contacting the BTO or RSPB in any case, they have a lot of knowledge and experience.

Found this "The Pacific oceanic route is used by Pacific Golden-Plovers, Bristle-thighed Curlews, Ruddy Turnstones, Wandering Tattlers, and other shorebirds. The Ruddy Turnstones, migrating from the islands in the Bering Sea, have an elliptical route that takes them southward through the islands of the central Pacific and northward along the Asiatic coast. In addition, many seabirds that breed in the far northern coasts as well as on southern coasts and islands migrate across the Pacific well away from land except when the breeding season approaches. The Pacific Golden-Plover breeds chiefly along the arctic coast of Siberia and in limited areas of the Alaskan coast. Some of the birds probably migrate south through Asia to winter quarters in Japan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, and the islands of Oceania."

I find this very old PDF: WEATHER has long been recognized as a contributing factor in bird migration.
In recent years much has been written concerning bird
movements and weather in North America (Lowery, 1945; Lincoln, 1950;
Williams, 1950, 1952; Gunn and Cracker, 1951, Bullis and Lincoln, 1952;
Imhof, 1953; and many others). That the phenomenon of bird movement before
“fronts” of weather would not be confined to North America is selfevident.
Undoubtedly it is variously reported in the many journals and languages
of Europe. Reports of such movements in Japan would be illegible to
most American students unless summarized in English. Because of this, I
wish to present here observations of a movement of birds before a front that
swept over Tokyo on October 31 - November 1, 1953.
Migration through Japan is of long duration, lasting from late July and
early August with the appearance of Wandering Tattlers (Heteroscelus incanus)
and other shorebirds, which have finished nesting in the Arctic, until
late December when the last thrushes have come in from Siberia and Manchuria.
Because of this there is a continuous flow of birds rather than a great
influx. These flights include thrushes, bramblings, bulbuls, etc., reared in the
vast continental areas of Siberia and Manchuria, and those more locally
produced, from Sakhalin, Hokkaido, and northern Honshu. The continental
populations may cross the Japan Sea (Austin, 1947) or move down the chain
of islands from Sakhalin. An unknown percentage of these populations remains
in Honshu, Kyushu, and Shikoku for the winter, while the remainder
moves on down the Ryukyu Island chain to disperse into the Philippines,
Formosa, and more southern islands. Since almost no banding has been done
these routes and destinations are still poorly understood. elibrary.unm.edu
