AUSTIN, Texas — Slow slip earthquakes, a type of slow motion tremor, have been detected at many of the world’s earthquake hotspots, including those found around the Pacific Ring of Fire, but it is unclear how they are connected to the damaging quakes that occur there. Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have now revealed the earthquakes’ inner workings using seismic CT scans and supercomputers to examine a region off the coast of New Zealand known to produce them.

Religious affiliation linked to nearly 4-year longevity boost

A new nationwide study of obituaries has found that people with religious affiliations lived nearly four years longer than those with no ties to religion. (more…)

World’s Shallowest Slow-Motion Earthquakes Detected Off New Zealand’s Coast

AUSTIN, Texas — Research published in the May 6 edition of Science indicates that slow-motion earthquakes or “slow-slip events” can rupture the shallow portion of a fault that also moves in large, tsunami-generating earthquakes. The finding has important implications for assessing tsunami hazards. The discovery was made by conducting the first-ever detailed investigation of centimeter-level seafloor movement at an offshore subduction zone. (more…)

Biotreibstoffe bieten eine Perspektive den CO2-Abdruck der Luftfahrt zu senken sowie mögliche ungünstige Klimaeinflüsse von Partikelemissionen und Kondensstreifen zu reduzieren. Diesem weltweit aktuellen Forschungsthema widmen sich die US-amerikanische Luft- und Raumfahrtbehörde NASA und das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) sowie das kanadische National Research Council (NRC) bei gemeinsamen Flugversuchen vom 7. bis 16. Mai 2014 in Kalifornien. In typischen Reiseflughöhen werden die Emissionen eines Biotreibstoff-Kerosin-Gemisches sowie dessen Auswirkungen auf die Bildung und Eigenschaften von Kondensstreifen vermessen. Die von der NASA geleitete Flugkampagne umfasst mehr als einhundert beteiligte Wissenschaftler und Techniker. Vier Forschungsflugzeuge sind im Einsatz, darunter die Falcon 20-E des DLR. Ausgangsort ist das Armstrong Flight Research Center der NASA am Standort Palmdale/Kalifornien. (more…)
