Researchers of the Institute have received a Patent

   A patent was received on the “Method for detection of acomplex earthquake precursor” developed by the researches of the Laboratory of Acoustic Investigations and the Laboratory of Electromagnetic Investigations of IKIR FEB RAS. The invention refers to the field of Geophysics, in particular, to geophysical signal processing and modeling. The known methods for detection of earthquake precursors, close to the current technique, assume application of only one geophysical parameter to make earthquake forecast. They apply either signals of acoustic radiation of those of electromagnetic radiation. The developed method for precursor detection is based on a complex approach. The invention can be used for short-term prediction of earthquakes based on complex processing of digital signals of high-frequency geoacoustic emission and electromagnetic radiation in VLF range recorded in seismically active regions.
