“…After its first application to the 1980 Irpinia-Basilicata's earthquake (Di Bello et al, 2004;Tramutoli et al, 2001b) RST has been applied to seismically active area monitoring for several other earthquake events: Athens, 7 September 1999 ; Izmit, 17 August 1999 (Tramutoli et al, 2005); Gujarat, 26 January 2001 (Genzano et al, 2007), Boumerdes/Thenia, 21 May 2003(Aliano et al, 2007; Hector Mine, 16 October 1999 (Aliano et al, 2008a), UmbriaMarche, October 1997 (Aliano et al, 2008b), Mestia Tianeti (Georgia) 23 October 1992 ) and various seismic events occurred in Greece and Turkey, in May and June 1995-1996(Corrado et al, 2005.…”

Abstract.A self adaptive approach (RST, Robust Satellite Technique) has been proposed as a suitable tool for satellite TIR surveys in seismically active regions devoted to detect and monitor thermal anomalies possibly related to earthquake occurrence. In this work, RST approach has been applied to 15 years of AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) thermal infrared observations in order to study the 6 April 2009 Abruzzo earthquake. Preliminary results show clear differences in TIR anomalies occurrence during the periods used for validation (15 March-15 April 2009) and the one (15 March-15 April 2008) without earthquakes with M L ≥4.5, used for confutation purposes. Quite clear TIR anomalies appears also to mark main tectonic lineaments during the preparatory phases of others, low magnitude(3.9

“…RST was applied for the first time to seismically active areas monitoring, in the case of the disastrous 1980 Irpinia-Basilicata earthquake (Di Bello et al, 2004;Tramutoli et al, 2001b), then it was successfully tested in several cases: Athens, 7 September 1999 ; Izmit, 17 August 1999 ; Gujarat, 26 January 2001 (Genzano et al, 2007), Boumerdes/Thenia, 21 May 2003(Aliano et al, 2007; Hector Mine, 16 October 1999(Aliano et al, 2008a, Umbria-Marche, October 1997 (Aliano et al, 2008b), Mestia Tianeti (Georgia), 23 October 1992 , and various low magnitude events occurred in Greece and Turkey, May and June 1995-1996(Corrado et al, 2005.…”

Abstract. Space-time fluctuations of Earth's emitted Thermal Infrared (TIR) radiation have been observed from satellite months to weeks before earthquakes occurrence.The general RST approach has been proposed in order to discriminate normal (i.e. related to the change of natural factor and/or observation conditions) TIR signal fluctuations from anomalous signal transient possibly associated to earthquake occurrence. In this work RST approach is applied to the Abruzzo 6 April 2009 event (M L =5.8) by using for the first time MSG-SEVIRI (Meteosat Second Generation -Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) thermal infrared observations. A validation/confutation analysis has been performed in order to verify the presence/absence of anomalous space-time TIR transients in the presence/absence of significant seismic activity. MarchApril 2009 has been analyzed for validation purposes. Relatively unperturbed periods (no earthquakes with M L ≥5) have been taken for confutation. A specific TIR anomalies spacetime persistence analysis as well as a cloud coverage distribution test have been introduced in order to eliminate artifacts and outliers both in the validation and confutation phases. Preliminary results show clear differences in TIR anomalies occurrence during the periods used for validation and confutation purposes. Quite clear TIR anomalies appear also to mark main tectonic lines related to the preparatory phases of others, low magnitude (M L ∼4) earthquakes, occurred in the area.

“…Before the earthquake, earth satellite images had obvious infrared thermal enhancement phenomenon, which was called "thermal anomaly" (Freund et al 2007). In the past few decades, the abnormal increase of surface temperature was successfully verified (Genzano et al 2007;Saraf et al 2008). In laboratory tests, abnormal infrared radiation was used as precursor of rock failure on the Similarity simulation experiment of earthquake (Rawat et al 2011;Naiguang et al 1998;Geng et al 1992).…”

Evolution, Monitoring and Predicting Models of Rockburst

Rock is a kind of complicated geological material with in-homogeneity, anisotropy and discontinuity (Senseny et al. 1992). Under external force, the mechanic behaviour of rock is relatively complex, and it is difficult to accurately predict rockburst (Cook 1992;Brady 1969). Rockburst can lead to damage of equipment, substantial staff casualties and property losses (Blake and Hedley 2003;He et al. 2010). Thus, it has become important question for scholars and engineers to be able to predict rockburst. Read et al. (1995) analysed AE waveforms from a series of laboratory triaxial-deformation experiments, and explored the features of waveform amplitudes and frequency before and after the peak stress. Benson et al. (2010) found that disordered AE signals were significantly reduced before rock specimen failure. Schiavi et al. (2011aSchiavi et al. ( , b, 2013 founded that elastic emissions were different from acoustic emissions, could be detected in a low frequency range (below 15-10 kHz). He et al. (2015) presented an experimental investigation on the instantaneous strain-type granitic rockbursts, and found that frequencies changed from low value to high values as the load increased. Lu et al. (2012aLu et al. ( , b, 2013 demonstrated that the dominant frequency of main shock signal correlate negatively with rockburst intensity. Kukshenko and Elizarov (2015) made AE test on large scale specimens,
