Study on Relation between Stationary MT Parameters and Eartquake Activity


Abstract
Phoenix and Nittetsu Mining Consultants have been jointly operating a Stationary MT site at Sawauchi, Iwate since 2004. The data have been processed and various parameters have been studied in relation to earthquake activities within a few hundred kilometers. We have discovered Tipper magnitude anomalies occuring several hours in advance of earthquake observations. Some of cases are presented here without theoretical evaluation which is beyond the scope of this talk.
