Are researchers in other countries more interested in earthquake prediction than most in the U.S.? The link below discusses some current research projects in the Ukraine using satellites. Title of the report is:
> REMOTE SENSING AS A TOOL OF SEISMIC HAZARDS MONITORING
> V. Korepanov
> Lviv Centre of Institute of Space Research
> Lviv, Ukraine

The abstract portion of the report begins:
> The possibility of the detection of the seismic hazards precursors in the
> ionosphere is continuously discussed by the scientific community. Some
> experimental facts give realistic evidence of the ionospheric-lithospheric
> interaction existence provoked by the seismic activity.
