Scientific data:
- the new “supersite” put up for the Sendai earthquake that has collected quite a bit of the various scientific data together (via @callanbentley)
- Callan Bentley has a great “what we know 30 hrs later” post on Mountain Beltway
- animation of how movement on the fault during subduction caused a tsunami wave (via @stressrelated)
- Dan’s Wild Wild Science Journal has a primer on radiation facts (useful when trying to figure out what’s going on with the nuclear plant stories)
- in case you missed Chris Rowan’s roundup of the earthquake, he covers some of the holes in information that have cropped up over the course of Friday (and proves why knowing about stereonets is important!)
- Evelyn on Georneys took some initiative and interviewed her dad (a nuclear engineer) about what’s going on with the nuclear plant situation in Japan (currently recorded feed, but she hopes to transcribe the conversation)
Pictures
- great before (26. Feb) & after (12. Mar) shots from the Earth Observatory of the coast near Sendai (via @highlyanne)
- Boston Globe hasn’t posted yet a new Big Picture (yesterdays), but they do have a collection of a new & old pictures that you can click through of the aftermath (annoying, but some good pictures)
- Yesterday’s gallery from The Atlantic In Focus (also has overlap, but a few new ones) — if you don’t follow Alan Taylor on RSS, I would highly suggest it
- Google has set up an open collaborate to link photos of the earthquake & tsunami to where the photo was taken – anyone can add photos, they just ask they you are specific about the where (via @google)
Videos:
- Tsunami sweeps through Kesennuma City (Japan) from the BBC – semi-goes by ~1 min in (via @eruptionsblog)
- also via the BBC, aerial footage of Sendai – look at where the ship is ~40 sec in (via @allochthonous)
- BBC: video of explosion near the Fukushima nuclear plant 250 km NE of Tokyo (via @allochthonous)
- crazy liquefaction video from Chiba City, Japan (via @geographile)
