2pints-mate 0 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I enjoyed reading that, if enjoyed is the right word to use. Nicely put together. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A very good balanced account of the whole thing. Glad to see you got feedback from lots of different places too, always interesting to hear what other people experienced. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 21, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 21, 2011 Added the interesting Japan Quake Map link to the Resources page of the guide and a few more entries on the Experiences page. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have seen that before. Fascinating. And scary! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 21, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 21, 2011 We have added some more sources of information on the radiation-related page of the guide. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Those new maps are interesting. I know you are not making them, but anyone with the knowledge are they getting better or worse? Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 There is an earlier version of Prof. Hayakawa's contour map on his blog, made about two weeks earlier. It looks almost identical, except that the shape around Gunma changed somewhat, and the stuff up north around Ichinoseki in Iwate was not included. But contours for Fukushima, Miyagi, Tochigi, Ibaraki and Chiba look about the same. I suspect he added more sampling points around Gunma (where he lives) and Ichinoseki for the current plot. With the caveat that I am certainly not an expert on environmental radioactive contamination (just been learning what I can the past three months, as have we all), my guess would be that the maps won't change very quickly from here on out. It is probably mostly ground contamination being measured (since the major atmospheric releases happened back in March), and that is mostly Cesium-137, with a 30-year half-life (the shorter-lived Iodine-131 having already decayed away at this point). But as I said, I am not an expert. Link to post Share on other sites
Ibadaki 0 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Very well made. Glad you did something like that it is a useful resource. Link to post Share on other sites
myra 0 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Very interesting. It sure is going to be interesting to see how the overseas market responds in the end. I reckon people will be back but will leave it later. Unless something baaad happens. Lady Gaga says it's ok, so it must be! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted July 1, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted July 1, 2011 Some perhaps interesting stats - in the first 7 days of this been online Main page http://www.snowjapan.com/e/japan-tohoku-earthquake/index.html 7,006 page views Experiences page http://www.snowjapan.com/e/japan-tohoku-earthquake/first-hand-experiences.html 3,146 page views Radiation page http://www.snowjapan.com/e/japan-tohoku-earthquake/radiation-concerns.html 1,974 page views Resources page http://www.snowjapan.com/e/japan-tohoku-earthquake/resources.html 1,146 page views Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Interesting how the main page gets so many more than others.... Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted July 2, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted July 2, 2011 That kind of thing is pretty much expected pie-eater - being the 'main page', the one that is linked to, etc. Often in a section that kind of pattern happens for one reason and another. We've tried to make the links as clear as possible to the pages in the section. Link to post Share on other sites
