A wide range of satellite methods is applied now in seismology. The first applications of satellite data for earthquake exploration were initiated in the '70s, when active faults were mapped on satellite images. It was a pure and simple extrapolation of airphoto geological interpretation methods into space. The modern embodiment of this method is alignment analysis. Time series of alignments on the Earth's surface are investigated before and after the earthquake. A further application of satellite data in seismology is related with geophysical methods. Electromagnetic methods have about the same long history of application for seismology. Stable statistical estimations of ionosphere-lithosphere relation were obtained based on satellite ionozonds. The most successful current project "DEMETER" shows impressive results. Satellite thermal infra-red data were applied for earthquake research in the next step. Numerous results have confirmed previous observations of thermal anomalies on the Earth's surface prior to earthquakes. A modern trend is the application of the outgoing long-wave radiation for earthquake research. In '80s a new technology-satellite radar interferometry-opened a new page. Spectacular pictures of co-seismic deformations were presented. Current researches are moving in the direction of pre-earthquake deformation detection. GPS technology is also widely used in seismology both for ionosphere sounding and for ground movement detection. Satellite gravimetry has demonstrated its first very impressive results on the example of the catastrophic Indonesian earthquake in 2004. Relatively new applications of remote sensing for seismology as atmospheric sounding, gas observations, and cloud analysis are considered as possible candidates for applications.

“…For example, there are several reports of anomalous cloud formations over fault zones near earthquakes (e.g. Guangmeng and Jie, 2013;Guo and Wang, 2008), although the height of the clouds affected is not consistent. In some other cases the clouds described have been iridescent, implying that detailed droplet properties, such as size, might be affected by an underlying physical process.…”

“…Typically these are equivalent to a temperature change of a few Kelvin, beyond the natural variability (Tramutoli et al, 2005), appearing some days before the earthquake (e.g. Saraf et al, 2008;Guo and Wang, 2008).…”

RESUMENEl artículo discute desde un punto multidisciplinario el estado actual de las predicciones sísmicas con sustento científico basados en precursores físicos, métodos estadísticos y los requisitos mínimos que deben considerarse para identificar métodos razonables; especialmente, los encaminados a la prevención sísmica. Sobre la cultura de la prevención se discuten cambios históricos relacionados con la población vulnerable y marginal, su progreso en relación al desarrollo científico, la evidencia antropológica sobre la eficacia de las predicciones y su influencia en la cultura de la prevención para enfrentar riesgos comunes, el sistema de alerta temprana de sismos y la influencia de las predicciones en las expectativas y decisiones de inversión Palabras clave: sismo; predicción; prevención; antropología; sistema de alerta; expectativas de inversión CHALLENGES AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE PREDICTION AND PREVENTION OF SEISMIC RISK ABSTRACTThis paper discusses from a multidisciplinary view, the state of the art of seismic predictions related to science-based studies based on physical precursors, methods based on statistical patterns and the minimum requirements to be considered in order to identify reasonable methods; especially, those aimed at prevention of seismic disaster. Culture of prevention, historical changes related to vulnerable and marginal populations, progress in relation to scientific development, anthropological evidence on the effectiveness of the predictions and their influence on the culture prevention to face common risks, seismic alert system and decisions and investment expectations derived from the predictions are discussed.
