Beberapa menit yang lalu ketika sedang menonton sebuah acara di TPI, saya dikejutkan oleh berita tentang terjadinya gempa di daerah Halmahera, Maluku Utara. Yang membuat terkejut adalah adanya keterangan bahwa gempa tersebut berpotensi menimbulkan tsunami dan diharapkan untuk menyebarkan berita tersebut ke masyarakat.
Segera saya membuka situs BMG dan USGS dan berhasil mendapatkan informasinya. Menurut BMG, gempa yang terjadi sekitar pukul 9:00 WIT (atau sekitar pukul 7:00 WIB) dan berlokasi di 1.88° LU – 127.27° BT (sekitar barat laut Halmahera) tersebut berkekuatan 7.6 SR dan berkedalaman 10 KM sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan tsunami.
Sedangkan menurut USGS, gempa tersebut berlokasi di 1.865° LU, 127.439° BT, berkekuatan 6,6 SR dan berkedalaman 93,1 KM.
Semoga saja tidak terjadi bencana alam susulan yang bisa mengakibatkan kerusakan lebih besar dan merenggut korban jiwa yang banyak seperti tsunami. Semoga masyarakat di sana tabah menerimanya dan diberikan kekuatan dan kesabaran. Aamiin.

The Chinese philosopher Chang Heng invented the first seismoscope in A.D. 132. The instrument was a large urn, on the outside of which were eight dragonheads facing the eight principal directions of the compass. Below each dragonhead was a toad with its mouth opened toward the dragon. When an earthquake struck, one or more of the eight dragon mouths would release a ball into the open mouth of the toad sitting below. The direction of the shaking determined which of the dragons released its ball. The instrument was reported to have detected an earthquake up to 400 miles away.
Scientists of the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) designed and manage SCIGN. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California at San Diego, and the United States Geological Survey are the principal SCEC partners in SCIGN, and all data from the array are openly available on the Internet.
It was really a great experience to read out from here and I hope you will keep up the nice work.
earthquake scientists unveiled the Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN), a new type of ground motion monitoring network. Unlike other instrument networks that record shaking, SCIGN tracks the slow motion of the Earth’s plates using a Global Positioning System (GPS). With SCIGN, the link between the motions of the plates that make up the Earth’s crust and the resulting earthquakes is now being observed by an array of GPS stations operating in southern California and Baja California, one of the world’s most seismically active and highly populated areas.
