Seismic electric signals in seismic prone areas
Résumé
The Varotsos-Alexopoulos-Nomicos
(VAN) method of short-term earthquake prediction was
introduced in the 1980s. The VAN method enables estimation
of the epicenter, magnitude and occurrence time of an
impending earthquake by observing transient changes of the
electric field of the Earth termed seismic electric signals
(SES). Here, we present a few examples of SES observed in
various earthquake prone areas worldwide.
