I'm getting the heads up that we are out of time - I have to go teach my freshman seminar! Thanks to everyone for joining - these are great questions!

    I just had a thought which I am going to throw out here... Can super storms like this generate low frequency seismic waves or pressure pulses which trigger earthquakes locally or remotely (for example on the west coast)?

    This could be one mechanism which is involved when we get sudden climate change like GW as it has been noted in the geological record that earthquakes, volcanoes and seismic activity does increase with the changing climate.

    Hey guys. I missed the hangout. I have yet to see it come through on your G+ page. If you could share the link...that would be amazing. I'd love to learn about the science behind the storm.

    Thanks!

    Olga
