  1. Not positive news this:

     

    Tokyo quake fault 17 km shallower than thought

     

    The earthquake fault beneath the Tokyo metropolis is much shallower than previously thought and thus potentially more dangerous, according to a report in Science magazine released Friday.

    According to the report, a joint study conducted by the University of Tokyo's Earthquake Research Institute, Chiba University and other institutions shows the depth of the inland fault, which produced the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, may be about 17 km shallower than previously estimated.

     

    "A shallower earthquake source fault means that shaking in the event of a quake will be stronger," said Hiroshi Sato, a geology professor at the Earthquake Research Institute who led the study. "So estimates of anticipated damage in the metropolitan area should be reviewed."

     

    The fault is located where the Philippine Sea plate subducts under the Eurasian plate, which includes Japan, underneath the Tokyo metropolitan region.

    Good to find all you guys and gals.

     

    I've always had Rossignol gear and I always look at theirs when I'm thinking of buying new stuff before other brands. Don't know why just like the gear I've had from them in the past and really like them.

     

    A Japanese skier-friend is the same with Fischer.

     

    Anyone else like that? I suppose if there's no particular reason it's silly, but...
