Possibilities and limits of earthquake prediction using of animals: Time and again you ask yourself: When can we finally predict earthquakes? And can we use animals for this?

By Eva Dust

For centuries or millennia, people have repeatedly reported that animals behaved conspicuously before a major earthquake. This phenomenon is seriously investigated in this book and the possibilities and limits of this possible research are shown. Founded together and researched from the sparse literature on this subject, the author here on different levels with the existing scientific facts and theoretical further possible research on this subject disputes and gives much inspiration for the future of this research

Possibilities and limits of earthquake prediction using of animals

by diploma geologist Eva Dust

Time and again you ask yourself:

When can we finally predict earthquakes?

And can we use animals for this?

And at very least since the tsunami in 2004, you wonder, why not include animals in the research?

My book is based on existing research from literature and own my research and reflections

Chapter overview:

Overview of the current state of research on earthquake prediction

On (earthquake) prophets and the seventh sense in man and animals

Abnormal animal behavior before earthquakes

Current ideas and research approaches emerging from state of the art of research.

Recent considerations and possible research approaches

Earthquake warning devices and related topics

Overview of state of the art of earthquake prediction:

Earthquakes are still unpredictable. Earthquake prediction devices are only programmed with a 20 second warning period (this is based on the different speeds of the various seismic waves), during which certain measures can be taken to prevent worse case scenarios. For example, Subways can be shut down and Nuclear power plants deactivated.

Otherwise, only earthquake probabilities can be calculated. Research has been carried out intensively at various levels and with different methods in order to help predict them in the near future:

A deep drilling project is currently being carried out at the seismic active San Andreas Fault in California, where scientists hope to record interesting and insightful data on earthquakes

before the next occurrence. This will be carried out using appropriate measuring devices / probes / sensors

Swiss geophysicists are currently working on the confirmation of their statistical model, which calculates the rock tension from micro earthquakes and the strength, time and location of an earthquake

The construction of a network of infra sound data could still be the answer, however, some scientists have already voiced their doubts about this.

Nasa has observed higher infrared values on satellite shots hours and days before major earthquakes.

A new satellite (Demeter) has been measuring radio waves since summer 2004 as there has been significant evidence that electromagnetic waves (EM) occur before major earthquakes.

Furthermore, with the existence of the privately developed research institute Quakesat, which can be found at www.quakefinder.com, and the GFZ-Potsdam maintaining the two satellites CHAMP and GACE thanks to the German climatic center, along with a lot of new data from the remote sensing and infrared, the deep
