Many of our fire cameras and seismic stations in remote locations use solar power and line-of-site microwave radio communication. For #FieldWorkFriday we have a picture from the team's upgrade of the solar panel frame at Sage Hen. See the camera feed at www.alertwildfire.org?currentFirec...

This week we deployed a mobile fire camera, with it's own solar power and satellite internet system, for a second view point of the Cottonwood Peak Fire. We call this a COW for "Communication on Wheels." The COW came to our lab on Wednesday, but it's on stand-by ready to be deployed again if needed.

What does the magnitude 8.8 Russian earthquake look like on seismic stations here in Nevada? Here is a plot showing seismograms from several NV stations. The ground shook in Nevada for over 2 hours after the first P-waves arrived. More info on our Insta: tinyurl.com/jujbkvna

This massive earthquake, now reported at 8.8 has prompted a tsunami warning in Hawaii and western Alaska and tsunami watch or advisory along the west cost of the US and most of the Alaska coast. “Warning” means move inland! “Watch” means stay out of water and away from beaches.
The magnitude 8.8 earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula is tied for the 6th largest ever recorded by modern instruments.

Just finished installing a new fire camera on Peavine Peak. Watch our field tech Zach lower off the tower, dressing the CAT6 cable. CAT6 provides the power to and the data transmission from the camera. Watch the live feed, currently has a Rx burn, on the ALERTWildfire website: tinyurl.com/dn6nnsc5
