We introduce the first fully self-consistent numerical model combining seismic micro-ruptures, occurring within a generalized Burridge-Knopoff spring-block model, with nucleation and propagation of electric charge pulses coupled mechano-electrokinetic system. This provides general theoretical framework for modeling analyzing geoelectric anomalies to earthquakes. In particular, it is able reprod...

Simultaneous anomalous change of geoelectric field was observed on January 17, 1999 at three far-distant stations in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Eleven days after the anomalous change, an earthquake swarm with a M4.8 main shock started at a location within the triangle formed by the three stations. This change was rectangular in shape like the VAN-type anomalous change in Greece. The anomaly coul...

The safety of an underground waste disposal site depends to a large extent on the presence and migration of the water in the rock. Geoelectrics is the most suitable method particularly in underground mining conditions to explore and monitor the moist zones in many different rocks. Recent developments in hardware, inversion schemes and petrophysical interpretation of the resistivity enable relia...
