Hi PSN,

In this article, which is a bit off topic, but hopefully interesting to
some, a seismic network used to track fin whales off Vancouver Island.

-endangered-whales/

"Knowing the consistent amplitude of the fin whale=92s song will help
Weirathmueller track whales with more widely spaced seismometer networks,
in which a call is recorded by only one instrument at a time. Those include
the Neptune Canada project, the U.S. cabled observatory component of the
Ocean Observatories Initiative, and the huge 70-seismometer Cascadia
Initiative array that=92s begun to detect tremors off the Pacific Northwest
coast."      By Hannah Hickey
