Hi 2 Cents,

We have to ask, has anything changed since 1997? Yes and no.

Dr. Robert Geller is still staunchly holding his position that earthquake prediction is not possible. I think he may always keep it that way.

Dr. Max Wyss has continued to hold his position that earthquakes can be predicted between 10 to 30% of the time.

But overall, on the short term, put up or shut up end of things, our Don from Hollister has all of them beat hands down. To anyone who says short-term prediction cannot be done, tell them to come and read the archives of this site and perhaps they may wish to open a new argument on this issue. Is it Don's unusual appetite which makes this possible? Or is this guy on the ball with something that everyone else wish they knew about?

I am just curious to know if anyone else made note of the change in quake activity in Alaska of late and if they came to the same conclusion?

Thanks for the link, I haven't read it before and it's quite good.
