Biological premonitors of earthquakes: A validation study
Leon Spelly Otis, W.H. Kautz
1980, Open-File Report 80-1152
For the greatest ultimate usefulness to society, the two most important facets of earthquake prediction are (1) a fundamental scientific understanding of the earthquake-triggering process and (2) the identification of reliable and measurable premonitors. A possible approach to both of these problem areas, and one that has received almost no...
