THE G.D. NEWS IN REVIEW #43
|
|
Western Region News, December 1989

|
A MILITARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION TOOLBOX?
|
|
|
|
Common tools used in earth monitoring include strain gauges,
|
|
tiltmeters, well-level floats, geodometers, radon detectors,
|
|
electro-telluric meters, seismometers, and other instruments. Some
|
|
psychokinetic researchers study abnormal animal behavior and/or
|
|
hypersensitive humans affected by earth perturbations.
|
|
|
|
Disappointingly, except for some M5 "re-shocks" that occurred months
|
|
earlier and a couple of not-so-significant-looking M1 shocks more
|
|
closely preceding the Loma Prieta main-shock, no precursors were
|
|
obvious to help fortell that impending disaster.
|
|
|
|
Electrical engineers involved in ultra-low-frequency (ULF)
|
|
electromagnetic research for the military, however, stumbled onto an
|
|
earth sensing method which may be added as a useful tool for deep-
|
|
earth studies here in California.
|
|
|
|
ULF waves have interested the military because of their ability to
|
|
penetrate into the oceans and detect movements by enemy submarines,
|
|
and one of the ULF antennas in the global array just happens to be
|
|
located in the Santa Cruz mountains. It serendipitously picked up
|
|
significant electromagnetic anomalies preceding the Loma Prieta
|
|
earthquake.
|
|
|
|
Antony Fraser-Smith, 9415) 723-3684, head of a Sanford University
|
|
group involved in this research, indicated at AGU that the
|
|
Corralitos ULF station picked up longwave radiation that deviated
|
|
from normal backgfound noise in the days and hours immediately
|
|
preceding the 5:04 p.m. earthquake of October 17.
|
|
|
|
Is this the first instrumented reading of a deep-earth piezoelectric
|
|
effect that contributes to spooking animals into abnormal behavior
|
|
or does it have something to do with charging air to produce the
|
|
myterious glows sometimes reported as "earthquake lights?"
|
|
|
|
Chi-Yu (EVE-T) reported in a February 1983 article in NATURE that
|
|
researchers Gokhberg, Morgonouv, Yoshino, and Timizawa picked up 30
|
|
minutes of electromagnetic emissions before a March 1080 quake in
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Japan. Soviet science reported electromganetic anomalies in the
|
|
70's, and two days of radio noise interfered with the Chinese
|
|
military and civilian radio before the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, a
|
|
7.8 event which also produced earthquake light.
|
|
|
|
The discovery of ULF radio anomalies associated with the Loma Prieta
|
|
earthquake will very likely be researched further to better
|
|
determine its possible quake-sensing capability for other areas
|
|
along the San Andreas fault.
|
|
|
|
Because Frase-Smith needs another earthquake for testing, the
|
|
Parkffield Pediction Experiment looks like the perfect laboratory.

waves detected near the epicenter of the Loma Prieta

quake three hours before it began. The measurements stop

period of aftershocks. Source of the graph is Sanford

Notes from sender of article: G.D. is Geological Division of the
|
|
U.S. Geological survey. Contributor of article places question
|
|
marks and underlines "psychokinetic researchers" and the detection
|
|
of submarines. [individual works for the U.S.G.S.C and did not know
|
|
that the ULF was used for submarine detection and military
|
|
applications].

HERE COMES THE SUN... Solar activity is at its peak from now through
|
|
April 1990, and scientists are worried that the atmospheric effects
|
|
will be powerful enough to cause major computer systems to crash.
|
|
|
|
Solar storms and radiation-spewing sun flares are electrical and
|
|
magnetic currents that can alter the Earth's magnetic field. Space-
|
|
based computer systems can be damaged by such solar emissions, while
|
|
ground-based computers are vulnerable to such dangers as electircal
|
|
surges that can harm power grids. (Solar surges were recently
|
|
blamed for wiping out computer systems at the Toronto Stock
|
|
Exchange.) Sun-watchers say threatening sunspots will remain
|
|
extremely energetic until early spring before begining to slowly
|
|
taper off into 1993.
