Science Horizons has used COTS products, namely its AQUINAS System and SeismicRadar, to identify earthquake precursors from seismic data 1,000 miles from the earthquake's epicenter. We have assumed that a precursor has the same characteristics, specifically the same azimuth and horizontal phase velocity, as the earthquake's P-wave. In addition, we have also shown the superiority of seismic arrays to detect precursors. The four precursors identified by SeismicRadar preceeded the earthquakes with times ranging from thirteen hours to one minute.
If this conclusion is shown to be valid in seismic areas, earthquake precursors will no longer be elusive. Then we will be able to create algorithms, based on the precursor's location, duration, and frequency, that reliably predict earthquakes.
