The idea is if we can harness the accelerometers in those smart phones then we can collect massive amounts of data. It could really revolutionize how we understand earthquakes and earthquake effects.

The Lord was pleased to strengthen us, and remove all fear from us, and disposed our hearts to be as useful as possible.

Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil.

Many of the white people [who] have been instruments in the hands of God for our good, even such as have held us in captivity, are now pleading our cause with earnestness and zeal.

According to ancient mythology, trees link the Earth to the sky. In this respect trees link humans to another world.

Trees are, after all, our largest and oldest living things. They are Australia's natural, national treasures - the true Elders of our vast continent.

The celebrated Aboriginal painter Albert Namatjira loved the Ghost Gums of the Northern Territory... They are evocatively Australian, their white trunks contrasting with the red earth and the deep blue sky of the Dreamtime region that has for centuries sustained Namatjira's Aranda people.

Intensity 1 is you dont feel it ; intensity 2 is some people may feel it ; intensity 3 is many people do feel it.

We don't feel we should be removing contested claims even when we believe they may be false, there are a lot of concepts being tested because we don't know what is going to work.

So the amount of warning time we might be talking about depends of course on where you are relative to the earthquake. We are talking about seconds, tens of seconds, best case scenario is a few minutes before and earthquake, tens of minutes potentially for tsunamis.

MyShake cannot replace traditional seismic networks like those run by the U.S. Geological Survey, but we think MyShake can make earthquake early warning faster and more accurate in areas that have a traditional seismic network, and can provide life-saving early warning in countries that have no seismic network.

We want to make this a killer app, where you put it on your phone and allow us to use your accelerometer, and we will deliver earthquake early warning.

Now, ShakeAlert only issues alerts when four of our traditional seismic stations are triggered, but if we also have mobile phone data, maybe we would need only one station to trigger before issuing an alert.

They don't have advanced seismic technology but they do have millions of cell phones.

We can use that data to understand the physics of the process beneath us, how the buildings around us respond to these earthquakes, and we will have more data than we have from the traditional seismic networks.
