Electromagnetic Geophysical Fields Precursors to Earthquakes and Tsu

This book develops the theory of electromagnetic (EM) precursors to seaquakes (i.e. underwater earthquakes) and tsunamis, including the sequential stages of the transformation of a weak seismic mechanical excitation of the sea bottom into EM signals in th

Preface

In the twenty-first century, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed by the tremendous energy released from deformations of the oceanic or continental lithosphere, i.e., earthquakes (EQs), whose seismic source originated beneath the ocean or land. This has always been the case, but now the vulnerability of technology to these seismic processes is critically dangerous. The seismic disruption of the Fukushima I nuclear power plant resulted in radioactive pollution of large areas of sea and land, with deaths and injuries in the populace. It is a sign that nuclear power plants are hardly able to replace the limited or depleted traditional sources of energy (gas, oil, hydroelectric energy, geothermal resources, etc.) without effective ge
