Prelude to an Earthquake?
Berkeley Lab Scientist Studies Possible Precursors in Micro-quakes
December 8, 2005
BERKELEY, CA A geophysicist from the U.S. Department of Energys Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has identified possible seismic precursors to two recent California earthquakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that wreaked havoc throughout the Bay Area.
After sifting through seismic data from the two quakes, Valeri Korneev found a spike in the number of micro-earthquakes followed by a period of relative calm in the crust surrounding the quakes epicenters months before the quakes occurred.
Although more work needs to be conducted to determine whether other large quakes are foreshadowed by a similar rise and subsequent decline in small-magnitude tremors, Korneevs analysis suggests that these peaks may be indicative of the total set of geological stresses that affect the timing and location of large earthquakes.
Understanding this total stress picture may eventually make it possible to predict destructive earthquakes within a much shorter time frame than currently possible.
Peaks in seismic activity in the crust surrounding a fault could help signal the arrival of large earthquakes, says Korneev of Berkeley Labs Earth Sciences Division. These peaks may be a good mid-term precursor and allow authorities to declare alerts several months before earthquakes...

Thank you. Makes sense to me.
Maybe Coast to Coast will have that earthquake predictor on....KFI at 10p....
but I dont believe in that tomfoolery...
