Edge waves on the New Zealand east coast

Tide gauge records from several New Zealand east coast ports show persistent oscillations in sea level with a period of 2.4–2.7 h. These are superimposed on local resonant oscillations, and appear to be associated with edge wave excitation on the continental shelf, possibly by meteorological disturbances. A shelf response is also excited by tsunamis.     

Underwater camera system for deep‐sea bottom photography

A 35 mm camera system has been developed to operate to depths of 4,000 m. The system takes up to 24 pictures at one lowering, and uses standard torch batteries which last more than 10 lowerings.

Microseismicity in Local Areas: The Southeastern Part of the Fennoscandian Shield

This paper summarizes the observations of microseismic emissions by these authors in several areas of the Russian part of the Fennoscandian Shield to assess the potential of microseismicity to determine the present-day activity of local features in the upper part of the geologic medium. We give amplitude–frequency characteristics and the space–time distribution of naturally occurring microseismic events that are hypothesized to be of endogenous origin. We discuss the relationships these characteristics have to the regional geodynamic setting, average dimensions, and petrographic composition of active rock blocks.
