A whole lotta shaking goin' on - Sakhalin Island, Russia

Some largish (M6.1) temblors at Sakhalin Island -- key issue is that this is a major area for Russian oil extraction plus a whale sanctuary. A company I used to work for in Seattle did a project for this which I was involved in. Can't talk about it much but it was a very fun couple of days with some cool toys. And the Russians involved were incredibly concerned for the environment -- motivated in part by the public visibility of the project but there was a major concern for the place that was palpable. They are doing good work... Posted by DaveH at August 1, 2007 10:56 PM
