It is the science of learning about processes taking place in the Earth’s crust by working with certain types of electromagnetic energy field pulses (EM Signals).

Picture files at that Web site such as the ones displayed here show where my Etdprog.exe earthquake forecasting computer program is determining EM Signals detected throughout the year have their origins in the Earth’s crust.

For example, the line peak groups on these 2004 and 2005 charts appearing below and above the large red circle show that the catastrophic December 26, 2004 earthquake in the Indonesia area was likely generating strong EM Signals during the months before it occurred. And so, it could probably have been predicted. The earthquake and the tsunami (tidal wave) that it spawned reportedly claimed a quarter of a million lives.

The same can be seen for quite a few other earthquakes on those Year Charts at my Web site including the deadly earthquakes in Haiti and Chile that occurred early in 2010.

The most important goal of this effort is to develop an effective way of forecasting earthquakes. But the line peak groups displayed on the charts are likely pointing to more than just approaching earthquakes.

The theory I am presently evaluating proposes that various things such as approaching earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can produce temporary changes in fault zone rock layers that briefly alter their conductivity. For periods of less than a second to as much as 20 seconds the rock layers change from being insulators to being conductors for geomagnetic energy field related waves. And when that happens these EM Signals are generated.

So, the line peak groups shown on the charts are not necessarily related to approaching earthquakes. They might also be associated with rock layer conductivity changes associated with volcanic activity. And studies that are now getting started will attempt to identify what those line peak groups are linked with if it is not obvious for some group that it is an approaching powerful earthquake.

In effect, those charts could be providing researcher with a type of X-ray system that lets them determine what processes might be taking place within the Earth’s crust around the world. The data can be compared with seismic activity records, GPS measurements, surface thermal scans, gravimetric studies, strain meter data, other types of EM Signal measurements, and on and on.

As stated earlier, this could be the start of a new area of science.
