Seismo-electromagnetic phenomena in the western part of the Eurasia-Nubia plate boundary

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents a work that aims to monitor seismo-electromagnetic phenomena in the Western Part of the Eurasia-Nubia Plate Boundary. This region has a significant tectonic activity combined with relatively low electromagnetic noise levels, rendering high quality seismoelectromagnetic measurements possible. An overview of the seismicity of this region is presented and the research plan is discussed accordingly.

Chaotic behavior of seismic mechanisms: experiment and observation

“…Various improvements, such as the consideration of two blocks and different carpets, will be applied in future studies, to determine key seismic signatures that occur before major earthquakes. The proposed prototype could improve our understanding of different seismic precursors, such as seismo-electromagnetic phenomena [Silva et al 2011].…”

Atmospheric electrical field decrease during the <i>M = 4.1</i> Sousel earthquake (Portugal)

“…A more detailed description of this equipment is presented in Silva et al (2011). The distance between the VAE sensor and the earthquake epicentre was approximately 52 km.…”
