A very large earthquake, at 8.8, the sixth largest since modern seismic recording began around 1900, has struck off-shore southern Chile. More details from the USGS and Ole Nielsen. At 107° epicentral distance, Keele is just in the shadow zone so the direct P and S-waves are not recorded. However, even at a distance of almost [...] There was a small earthquake just south of Nantwich, Cheshire on January 31st, 2010 which we recorded here at Keele. The earthquake magnitude has been determined by the Geological survey to be 1.3 The tremor is most likely related to subsidence or collapse due to dissolution of salt. The bedrock here is the Wilkesley Halite and [...] Two more small local earthquakes have occurred in Stoke-On-Trent following on from the two that happened on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

This earthquake doesn’t appear to be that well recorded but the P and SS phases are identifiable. The earthquake was a shallow left-lateral strike-slip earthquake along the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault system, essentially a major component of the plate [...] I was convinced that I felt an earthquake last night.
