WASHINGTON- A change in
the eruption pattern of an "Old
Faithful" type of geyser near
Calistoga, Calf, may be a warning
about impending large
earthquakes, researchers say.
In a study to be published
Friday in the journal. Science, two
Carnegie Institution researchers
said the Old Faithful Geyser of
California, located near Calistoga,
experienced a sudden variation in
its eruption pattern within one to
three days before three major
earthquakes.
Paul G. Silver and Nathalie J.
Valette-Silver, a wife and husband
team at Carnegie's Department of
Terrestrial Magnetism in
Washington, said a 20-year record
of eruptions of the California
geyser is clear evidence that it is
affected by large quakes within
155 miles of the geyser site.
"Either this is all a coincidence
and nature is playing a practical
joke" or the geyser is exhibiting
changes that are precursors to
large earth movements. Silver said
in a statement released by
Carnegie.
The researchers are out of the
country and not reachable by
telephone.
In the Science report, the
Silvers said they were visiting the
Calistoga geyser in 1989 and
waiting for it to erupt when Olga
Kolbek, the co-manager of the
attraction, revealed that records of
the geyser eruptions had been
maintained since 1971.
The Silvers obtained copies of
the records and entered
thousands of eruption times into a
They then compared
eruption patterns for the mi
just preceding a major earthqujl
with periods that includedt
earthquakes.
The comparisons were
on the length of time, or intern
between eruptions.
They found that three ma
earthquakes within 155 miles
the geyser occurred within one
three days after the geyse
eruption pattern underwe
abrupt and dramatic changes.
