How much of US taxpayers’ money is used to benefit these research on foreign quakes?
Do you think, just maybe, the results of this drilling will be applicable elsewhere than the Indian Ocean? This is a well documented occurance along a subduction zone fault. We know the result of the earthquakes along this fault system and where a tsunami was the result and where only minor waves were generated.
We don’t have a similar record in the Pacific Nortwest. Soon, however, we will be able to compare the drill cores from this project with some we can or have drilled off the Northwest Coast in Oregon, Washington, B. C..
