Are any public-reported earthquake precursors valid?
This article examines retrospective publicsupplied precursor reports statistically, and confirms published hypotheses that some alleged precursors within 100 km and within a day prior to the large 1995 Kobe and 1999 Izmit earthquakes, may be valid. The confirmations are mostly at the p<0.001 level of significance. Most significant were alleged meteorological and geophysical precursors, and less...
متن کاملFrog Swarms: Earthquake Precursors or False Alarms?
In short-term earthquake risk forecasting, the avoidance of false alarms is of utmost importance to preclude the possibility of unnecessary panic among populations in seismic hazard areas. Unusual animal behaviour prior to earthquakes has been reported for millennia but has rarely been scientifically documented. Recently large migrations or unusual behaviour of amphibians have been linked to la...
متن کاملCorrelation of pre-earthquake electromagnetic signals with laboratory and field rock experiments
Analysis of the 2007 M5.4 Alum Rock earthquake near San José California showed that magnetic pulsations were present in large numbers and with significant amplitudes during the 2 week period leading up the event. These pulsations were 1–30 s in duration, had unusual polarities (many with only positive or only negative polarities versus both polarities), and were different than other pulsations ...
متن کاملSupershear and Subrayleigh to Supershear Transition Observed in Laboratory Earthquake Experiments
Vertically dipping crustal faults are long pre-existing weak planes that extend tens of kilometers perpendicular to the earth’s surface and often host catastrophic earthquake rupture events. The geometry of such faults is often simple enough to apply appropriately modified concepts of dynamic fracture mechanics to the study of the physics underlying their rupture process. Due to the nature of e...
متن کاملThermal-Blooming Laboratory Experiments
• We conducted a multiphase series of laboratory experiments to explore the adaptive optics compensation of a laser beam distorted by strong thermal blooming. Our experimental approach was to create on a small, low-power beam the same phase distortion that would be experienced by a large, high-power beam propagating through the atmosphere and to apply phase compensation via deformable mirrors. ...
