The following is a discussion of what appear to me to be two relatively new and potentially important earthquake related Web sites plus an update on another new site that has been discussed in the past.

EARTHQUAKE INFORMATION

This first Web site contains quite a bit of earthquake report information. I had never heard about the site before and learned about it almost by accident.
http://earthquake-report.com/

EARTHQUAKE RELATED LINKS

The second site contains the best collection of earthquake Web site related links or URLs that I have seen to date. The Web site owner must have spent quite a bit of time putting that list together. I tried maintaining a list like that myself at one of my own Web sites. But new sites keep appearing so fast it became virtually impossible to stay current.

It can be seen that my own forecasting Web site is near the top of their list for such Web sites. In contrast, Roger is in their "Hall of Shame." Small wonder! (humor intended)

Actually, I sent them a note not long ago stating that I feel that he has done some important earthquake related computer program development work.

ISEP EXTENSION SITE

ISEP personnel and I have now agreed on the details of getting a new Web site organized that will be an extension of their existing site http://www.isfep.com

An appropriate Web server and an acceptable domain name had to be selected for example.

It will take at least a week or two to fill in all the blanks and get the new site running. Details will be released when that step has been completed.

Some Wikipedia Web pages have appeared, probably fairly recently, that discuss earthquake forecasting and earthquake precursors. But I feel that those Wikipedia pages mostly discuss information that has been approved as being “politically correct” by Special Interest Groups around the world. And much or even most of the important international earthquake forecasting research would not fit into a “politically correct” category like that.

The ISEP extension Web site won’t have that limitation. If someone wants to propose that earthquakes occur when giant subterranean earthworms get into fights over their local turf then that type of entry might be allowed at the site, at least as far as I am concerned. If nothing else it could add some humor to what can otherwise be a fairly boring area of science.

One of the first subjects scheduled for discussion at the new ISEP extension Web site will likely be “Earthquake Clouds.” That appears to me to be one of the ISEP founder’s favorites.

These are personal opinions.
