Detecting the occurrence of ground ULF electromagnetic signal prior to earthquake events / Mohd Syakiran Samsudin

This project is emphasizing on detecting the occurrence of ground Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) signal prior to the earthquake events. An earthquake is a trembling of the ground those results from the sudden shifting of rock beneath the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caus...

An earthquake is a trembling of the ground those results from the sudden shifting of rock beneath the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments. Once earthquake happened, it will damage everything just in second. The destructive power is comparable to a nuclear bomb, depending on the magnitude.

Geology researchers have made numerous attempts to define the relationship between some events and earthquake, and thereby use them as an earthquake precursor tool. The ULF frequency band (0.001 Hz to 10 Hz) is considered as most promising frequency range in ground base observation where electromagnetic earthquake precursors may be found.

The data was taken from Quake finder websites which owned magnetometer station along the California fault region.
