- Earthquakes and tsunamis are accompanied by changes in geomagnetic field
- New AI can analyze tiny changes in geomagnetic fields
- Allows the system, to predict natural disaster far earlier than current methods
Researchers have revealed a radical new use of AI - to predict earthquakes.A team from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used machine-learning techniques to analyze tiny changes in geomagnetic fields.These allow the system, to predict natural disaster far earlier than current methods.
'It is known that earthquakes and tsunamis are accompanied by localized changes in the geomagnetic field,' the researchers, led by Associate Professor Kan Okubo from Tokyo Metropolitan University, wrote.
'For earthquakes, it is primarily what is known as a piezo-magnetic effect, where the release of a massive amount of accumulated stress along a fault causes local changes in geomagnetic field; for tsunamis, it is the sudden, vast movement of the sea that causes variations in atmospheric pressure. *for more see link.....
