Didn’t know if you guys had seen this Indian Prof’s research on predicting earthquakes.

Bihar teacher develops technique to predict earthquakes
B K Mishra, TNN Sep 26, 2013, 04.41AM IST

PATNA: Even as seismologists across the world are busy finding a suitable model for predicting earthquakes to minimize the loss of life and property, a school teacher of Motihari in Bihar has developed a time-tested model for forecasting the time, place and magnitude of quakes. He has already forecast more than a dozen earthquakes including Tuesday’s earthquake in Pakistan with almost 90 % accuracy.

Predicting earthquakes is a passion for Umesh Verma, a science teacher of M J K Girls’ School, Motihari. His numerical models have attracted the attention of some NASA scientists who are taking interest in his work.

Tahnks for posting that. I was aware of him but did not know he had a prediction for this recent quake. Good Stuff@!

Hey, thanks for the link.
Bookmarked because he made very specific predictions at the end of it........We'll see.

Machogirl, thanks for posting the link! I checked some tide charts. Tidal forces are definitely one of the factors he is using in his EQ prediction model. Who would have thunk it? lol

Tidal force is a much bigger player in the earth's seismic activity cycles, tectonics, and actual climate (ice age) cycles than it's being given credit for.

I notice another interesting link at the site as well:

Earth's pronounced wobble gave advance warning of quake!

Gipper, do you remember our discussion about this: Ants can sense earthquakes a day in advance; sometime back?

If this is true, determine what the ants are keying on and install monitors for real-time, local EQ prediction, as we talked about before! :)
