The study of the oceans is intimately linked to understanding global warming
and related biosphere concerns.

believing it to set off a deeper reverberation than we can sense in our minds.
CB: I wonder about this ‘deeper reverberation’. Aren’t you in danger of sounding ‘fruity’, as Lipnik calls it?
Then again, it also reminds me of recent theories of consciousness that use quantum physics
to understand how the human brain has some advantages over computers. Is it mysticism?
LG: All I mean is sound - not gongs or wind chimes
or Mandelstam’s ‘buzz of the earth’.
I was alluding to what you said earlier about the double life of language, and in this case wanted to make room for the less overt of the two. God, it’s so hard to talk about this without sounding ‘fruity’. You try it, Lipnik!

UPDATE: Thanks to blog reader Jason, I found the article.
When Discovery Magazine published the online version,
they changed the title from "The Buzz of the Earth"
to "Earth Speaks in an Inaudible Voice".
ORIGINAL POST:
I read an interesting article in a respected Science magazine recently, and I wouldn't give it so much credence if it wasn't on paper (unfortunately I forgot which mag it was and I couldn't find the article on the Net). It was entitled "The Buzz of the Earth" and said that scientists have discovered extremely-low-frequency "sounds" (called "Infrasound" - and out of human hearing range) emanating from:
- Tsunamis
- Hurricanes
- Tornadoes (see NOAA graphic at right)
- Waves over Earthquake Zones
- Volcanoes
- Avalanches
- Elephants
