Despite of over a century of scientific effort, the understanding in earthquake forecasting remains immature. Moreover, even the theoretical possibility of earthquake forecasting is debatable. Especially problematic is a possibility of an effective shortand intermediate-term earthquake forecasting. The aim of this paper is to present the new evidence in support of possibility of the shortand in...

— An Earthquake is more important for geophysics and economy problems. The Support Vector Machine of data mining techniques with cluster analysis is used to predict impact of earthquake [2]. The historical data are collected which has follow the time series methodology, combine the data mining for pre-processing and finally apply the SVM to predict the impact of earthquake. Earthquake predictio...

This paper presents a review of the work done in earthquake prediction using abnormal animal behavior. The earthquake prediction can be done using the abnormal behavior of animals preceding earthquake occurrence in seismically active region because of their relatively more capability than humans of perceiving certain kind of geophysical stimuli which may precede earthquake. The international wo...

The Collaboratory for the Study of Earthquake Predictability (CSEP) aims to advance earthquake research by rigorous testing of earthquake forecast hypotheses. As in other disciplines, such hypothesis testing requires carefully designed experiments that meet certain requirements: they should be reproducible, fully transparent, and conducted within a controlled environment. CSEP has begun buildin...

Severe soil liquefaction due to a long duration earthquake with low acceleration occurred at Tokyo Bay area in the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. This phenomenon clearly shows that soil liquefaction is affected by properties of input waves. This paper describes effect of wave properties of earthquake on liquefaction using effective stress analysis with some earthquakes. Analyt...
