Want to hear an earthquake? From this Web site, you can listen to seismic rumblings that followed an 3 April volcanic eruption off the coast of Oregon – brought to you by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. (This is but a small corner of the excellent PMEL Web site, which hosts much information about earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and other hazards of the Pacific Rim.)

Sponsored by the Indian National Trust for Arts and Cultural Heritage, Edmund Booth, a British seismic engineer, and Rabindra Vasavada, an architect from Ahmedabad, India, toured the earthquake-affected region of Gujarat, India, in March of this year to determine the effects of January's massive quake on the palaces and other heritage buildings in the area. Their findings are available from this Web site.
