Satellites can help detect early warning signs weeks before earthquakes | Anomalies in the lithosphere and ionosphere can be detected days in advance
Dr. Mehdi Akhoondzadeh from the University of Tehran decided to dig into satellite data around the time of that 7.8-magnitude earthquake. He pored over readings from orbital...
In a nutshell: In the aftermath of the devastating Turkey-Syria quake in February 2023, a researcher has uncovered some intriguing potential warning signs that showed up days or even weeks earlier. Instruments on Aqua spotted a temperature spike in the lithosphere – the outermost solid shell of our planet including the crust and part of the upper mantle – between 19 and 12 days prior. Within a few days, other atmospheric disturbances started showing up in the form of strange readings on water vapor, methane, ozone, carbon monoxide, and airborne particulates dubbed "aerosol optical depth."
