Recent progress and state of the art of seismo-electromagnetics

Abstract

Despite its extreme importance and years of efforts, practical short-term earthquake prediction still remains to be achieved in future. However, earthquake- related electromagnetic phenomena are recently considered as a promising candidate for short-term earthquake prediction. There have been accumulated a lot of evidences of precursory signatures in a wide frequency range (DC-VHF). In this paper, the state of the art and research progress of seismo-electromagnetics are summarized.
