1) Peter Ward is a seismologist with the US Geological Survey.

2) Seismologists in Japan measured the earthquake at 7.7 on the Richter scale.

3) Seismologists throughout the world have searched for such a precursor for more than 100 years but their attempts have failed.

4) Seismologists said the quake appeared to have been rooted about 30 miles underground, deep enough to prevent catastrophic destruction.

5) Seismologists can also provide statistical estimates of the long-term seismic hazard.

6) Seismologist Barry Hull said a magnitude 7 quake with an epicentre within a 50km radius of Melbourne's CBD would cause extensive structural damage, particularly to older buildings up to four storeys.

7) Italian seismologist Dario Tedesco has spent the last 15 years studying Nyiragongo, with funding from the European Union.

8) Several years ago Meredith Nettles, a seismologist from Colombia University, and two colleagues made a remarkable discovery: they identified a new kind of earthquake.

9) University of Alaska seismologist Larry Gedney explained, "Since [the dam] reached its peak of 475 feet in 1939, the level of seismicity has fluctuated in direct response to water level.

10) Also in the newspaper, a seismologist wrote that the country's disaster was foreseeable.

11) Phil Cummins, duty seismologist at Geoscience Australia, which monitors earthquake activity, confirmed the tremor measured 4.6.

12) Sachiko Tanaka, a seismologist at Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, correlated more than 2,[http://sentencedict.com/seismologist.html]000 earthquakes worldwide with tides.

13) It was Northridge that caused the most widespread damage, seismologists said, because its epicenter was directly beneath the city.

14) Because the earthquake's hypocenter, or rupture point, was 24.4 kilometers deep, it qualifies as a shallow earthquake, which is the most hazardous kind, according to USGS seismologist Juan Cantavella.

15) Even though there is currently no way to predict earthquakes, seismologist Mike Blanpied of the USGS has grounds for optimism.

16) "Tsunamis are rare events, " said Paul Huang, a seismologist with the tsunami warning center. "And calibrating the big events is hard.

17) "I think the situation right now is very scary, " says Katsuhiko Ishibashi, a seismologist and professor at Kobe University.

18) "Tsunamis are rare events, " said Paul Huang[sentencedict.com], a seismologist with the tsunami warning center.

19) That system has not produced a quake of similar magnitude since 1751, says Richard Luckett, a seismologist at the British Geological Survey, which is headquartered near Nottingham, UK.

20) 'The Pacific Northwest - what we call the Cascadia Subduction Zone - has the same kind of characteristics as the fault beneath Japan, ' seismologist James Gaherty told CBS.

21) "There has been seismicity but not really great-earthquake seismicity," says Hiroo Kanamori, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

22) "But it's not always done elsewhere," says Ivan Wong, of URS Corp. of San Francisco, a seismologist who evaluates seismological hazards for the federal government and private firms.

23) The quake shows both the importance and the limits of planning ahead, says seismologist Robert Woodward of the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology in Washington, D. C.

24) "One of the problems in the construction industry is that there exist few methods to assess building integrity once the structure is complete," commented a prominent seismologist.

25) Even if these findings lead to the development of an earthquake warning system, Ian Main, a seismologist at the University of Edinburgh, UK, warns that its usefulness will be limited.
