A team of scientists for the first time were able to track the uplifting ground movements in the earthquake using radar from satellites. A study in the journal Science on Thursday says it confirms that these were not natural, something scientists had previously said was likely using a more traditional analysis.  Study co-author Stanford University William Ellsworth said the technique provides a new way to determine what quakes are man-made.
