Abstract

AN important part of earthquake prediction studies is the search for various precursors. It is likely that one precursor may not enable us to predict an earthquake correctly, but a collection of these may remove the uncertainties. It is also desirable to find data that are recorded routinely, in enough detail, such that they can be conveniently used by seismologists.
