SOSUS
recorded an intense earthquake swarm of 105 events from 08:30Z
to 11:05Z on October 5 located along the central Endeavour
segment (JdFR). The swarm is centered near 48-07'N; 129-03'W
which is roughly 18 km north-northwest of the main Endeavour
vent field.
The
swarm, as of now, is small in comparison to the seafloor spreading
episodes observed along the Endeavour in 1999 and Middle Valley
in 2001. However, its proximity to the MEF-R2K integrated
study site adds significance to this event. (click image for
