Earthquake prediction from precursory electromagnetic anomalies
This monitoring program tests whether electromagnetic anomalies precede earthquakes and may be useful for earthquake prediction. The experiment was first set up in 1996, then upgraded in 2004,and was largely inspired by the observation that in the epicentral region of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, magnetic field strength in one part of the spectrum increased to 100 times the normal background just before the main shock.
In the hillside above the seismic monitoring station, one set of electrodes is buried. From this set of electrodes, buried wires run 100m in two perpendicular directions and connect to additional electrodes, with the whole array forming a right angle. Near the elctrodes at the vertex, magnetic field sensors are also buried. The equipment is connected to data processing equipment at Searsville Lab.
The monitoring equipment is located directly above, and coordinates with, the seismic monitoring station. The seismic station provides conventional and ... Read More
