We still bear the pain of the February 6 earthquake in Kahramanmaraş. Of course I wish it hadn’t happened, but unfortunately we can’t prevent natural disasters. However, we can develop technologies that can detect these natural disasters in advance.

One of the developments in this regard is that the water sprinkles on us for future earthquakes. Scientists using GPS technology size 7 and up They developed a system that can detect earthquakes in advance.

Can detect earthquakes 2 hours in advance

Although it exists for volcanic eruptions, no signal set has been developed to date that gives a clear prediction for major earthquakes. To find a guiding signal, scientists He analyzed fast GPS time series prior to 90 different earthquakes of magnitude 7 and above.

About 2 hours before these major earthquakes occur they saw a subtle signal emanating from the sound. This work could enable debugging for this pioneering phase with higher density, higher precision instrumentation.

They detect this fine signal by analyzing a total of 3026 GPS data. In this way there are possibilities to evacuate the area where an earthquake will occur 2 hours in advance. If you wish, you can read the full text of the study here.
