Investigation of seismo-electromagnetic coupling in determination earthquake precursors / Mohd Hasbullah Husin

Nowadays a non-seismic precursor, seismo-electromagnetic has been busy studied by community that want to prove that earthquake precursors can be determined. Seismo-electromagnetic is the study of electromagnetic phenomena associated with seismic activity such as earthquake and volcano. Electromagnetic component that been studied in this project is the magnetic field instead of electric field. This paper presents simulation analysis and data of two different earthquake events that occurred on 15 November 2006 at Kuril Islands and 27 January 2006 at Banda SEA. Data of magnetic intensity was taken from Space Environment Research Center (SERC) that deployed a system called MAGnetic Data Acquisition System (MAGDAS) through it's Circum-Pan Pacific Magnetometer Network (CPMN) region. Matlab R2007b is used to simulate the data for further investigation and analysis.
