Project PRE-EARTHQUAKES - monitoring earthquake precursors: strategy and first results
- JSC Russian Space Systems, Russia
PRE-EARTHQUAKES (Processing Russian and European EARTH observations for
earthQUAKE precursors Studies) EU-FP7 project is devoted to demonstrate -
integrating different observational data, comparing and improving
different data analysis methods - how it is possible to progressively
increase reliability of short term seismic risk assessment. Three main
testing area were selected (Italy, Turkey and Sakhalin) in order to
concentrate observations and integration efforts starting with a learning
phase on selected events in the past devoted to identify the most suitable
parameters, observations technologies, data analysis algorithms. For these
areas, different ground (80 radon and 29 spring water stations in Turkey
region, 2 magneto-telluric in Italy) and satellite (18 different systems)
based observations, 11 data analysis methods, for 7 measured parameters,
have been compared and integrated.
A specific integration platform (PEG, Pre-Earthquakes Geoportal) based on
OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standards, was developed to operate a
products integration, cross-validation and scientific interpretation.
