Early Warning: GPS Data Could Detect Large Earthquakes Hours Before They Happen

A systematic global analysis of GPS time-series data from nearly 100 large earthquakes suggests the existence of a precursory phase of fault slip that occurs about two hours before seismic rupture. The analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) time-series data from nearly 100 large earthquakes worldwide has unveiled evidence for a precursory phase of fault … Continue reading Early Warning: GPS Data Could Detect Large Earthquakes Hours Before They Happen
