Summary:

Being able to predict earthquakes saves lives. The recent sequence of highly destructive earthquakes around the world has heightened awareness for earthquake hazards and the inability of seismology as a discipline to derive information of increasing earthquake hazards in the weeks and days before major seismic events. Many people believe that earthquakes are impossible to predict; a belief based on their own conventional mechanical measurements by means of seismometers. However, electromagnetics, including radio communication technologies, have recently been found to be reliable indicators for earthquake prediction. This book presents the latest achievements of earthquake prediction by means of radio communication systems. Authored by the world's leading expert in seismo-electromagnetics for earthquake prediction, Explains the fundamentals of radio communications and radio propagation to demonstrate the use of radio noise and propagation anomalies as a precursor of earthquakes, Considers the combination of different kinds of seismogenic electromagnetic signals of both natural and artificial character, Presents this timely topic following the recent sequence of highly destructive earthquakes around the world, Earthquake Prediction with Radio Techniques is an outstanding resource for researchers in the field of geophysics and geology, researchers interested in natural hazards and mitigation. It will also be an invaluable guide for graduate students and engineers in electronic engineering and radio communications disciplines. Book jacket.
