QuakeFinder is a research project with the goal of finding a way to forecast major earthquakes based on sound scientific theory and practice.
QuakeFinder's mission is to save lives by providing information that can be used to warn people of potential deadly quakes.
Electromagnetic Data Collection Network
QuakeFinder operates an extensive network of instruments monitoring ultra-low frequency electromagnetic emissions in earthquake-prone regions including California, Peru, and Taiwan. It is currently expanding the network in these locations as well as Greece and Turkey to increase the pace of capturing data from more quakes.
Data recorded by QuakeFinder instruments is transmitted to a data center in Palo Alto, CA where it is analyzed using algorithms invented and developed by QuakeFinder. The processed data is available free of charge to the public on the Data page of this site.
Results
To date, retrospective analysis has revealed apparent earthquake signatures for three significant quakes. If apparent earthquake signatures are observed in prospective data analysis, appropriate local authorities will be alerted. QuakeFinder does not provide forecasts or predictions to the public.
QuakeFinder researchers regularly examine and interpret the processed data and prepare research analysis reports available to subscribers.
