Workshop: Low Frequency Electrical Precursors To Earthquakes: Fact or Fiction?

这笔赠款将部分用于资助一个关于地震低频电前兆的研讨会。20世纪70年代，中国有关地震前电变化的报告引起了人们对这一现象的浓厚兴趣；中国仍在进行重大努力。世界各地的其他研究工作，包括美国，在确认前体的存在以及将异常信号与现实的物理模型相匹配方面取得了不同的结果。最近的一个例子是1989年洛马普里塔地震前报道的0.01至10赫兹的磁异常。适当的做法是与在该领域工作的主要国际科学家一起审查这个问题，并编写一份关于电地震前兆的现状和建议研究的报告。这项研究是国家减少地震危害计划的一个组成部分。

This grant is to partially fund a workshop on low frequency electrical precursors to earthquakes. Intense interest in this phenomena was generated in the 1970s by Chinese reports of electrical changes prior to earthquakes; major efforts are still underway in China. Other research efforts throughout the world, including the U.S., have had mixed results in confirming the existence of precursors, and matching the anomalous signal to a realistic physical model. A recent example is the reported 0.01 to 10 Hz magnetic anomaly before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. It is appropriate to review this subject with the major international scientists working in the field and produce a report of the status and recommended research on electrical earthquake precursors. This research is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
