Using the kind permission given to me by my co-author, this short preface will be written in
my name. I want to devote this book to San Juan city in Argentina. It is not only due to the fact …

Abstract The Smoluchowski-Chapman-Kolmogorov functional equation is applied to the
electric signals that precede rupture. The results suggest a non-Markovian character of the …

Loss of human lives as a result of earthquakes is caused overwhelmingly by the collapse of
buildings within less than a few minutes of main shocks. The most urgent countermeasure …

Short-term earthquake prediction seems difficult by means of conventional elastic
measurements. Therefore, new approaches and/or observable phenomena to assist in …

Significant anomalous changes in the ultra low frequency range (≈ 0.01 Hz) were observed
in both geoelectric and geomagnetic fields before the major volcano-seismic activity in the …

The correlations within the time series of the seismic electric signal (SES) activities have
been studied in a previous paper [P. Varotsos, N. Sarlis, and E. Skordas, Phys. Rev. E 66 …

Three types of electric signals were analyzed: Ion current fluctuations in membrane
channels (ICFMC), Seismic electric signals activities (SES), and “artificial” noises (AN). The …

A characteristic change of seismicity has been recently uncovered when the precursory
Seismic Electric Signals activities initiate before an earthquake occurrence. In particular, the …

This book deals with the electromagnetic fields observed on the ground and in space in the
ULF (ultra low frequency, f< 3 Hz) and ELF (extremely low frequency, 3< f< 3 103 Hz) bands …

The behavior of seismicity in the area candidate to suffer a main shock is investigated after
the observation of the Seismic Electric Signal activity until the impending main shock. This is …
