EQ Sounds
Posted by Stephen/AU on January 17, 2005 at 18:05:43:

If select humans are able to hear the sound of an earthquake (or friction prior to the event), then it is likely animals are also capable of this, and those syudies are being done.

Whale beachings occured prior to the Indonesian quake in December. I have run a list of 20 reports of beachings and compared them to seismic event that occured with 2 weeks of those beachings. Now, there is absolutely no possibility, given the limited number of reports, that any conclusive remarks can be offered, other than 85% of the time, there was a 5+ quake in the general region within 2 weeks of the quake.

I am going to attempt to compile a list of whale/dolphin beachings, then overlay earthquake data. I then want to overlay human sound reports on top of that.

Maybe I will find a pattern, and maybe I will find nothing but random. Any other overlays suggested?
