Abstract

In a method of monitoring parameters of changes in space and time of seismic activity at predetermined points of investigation and times thereof in a region of investigation, more particularly the forecasting of earthquakes, the location and time of quakes of relative low strength (microquakes) are sensed in said region being investigated and the seismic activity of the microquakes is quantified in time and space by means of at least one parameter (SEISMOLAP) at the point of investigation and at the times of investigation, a probability value is established for the occurence of the parameter, and the development of the probability value in time is monitored to detect SEISMOLAP anomalies by clusters of microquakes and/or phases of relative seismic inactivity as activities leading up to more severe quake occurences more accurately in location and more reliably.
