OSTI ID:6799689
Current research in Japan and the United States, primarily, with some reports from the Soviet Union is summarized. The development of prediction programs in these countries is described. Possible parameters for the prediction of earthquakes include land deformation, crustal movements, seismic activity, change in seismic wave velocities, geomagnetic and geoelectric effects, and active faults and folding. Laboratory studies which have helped in understanding phenomena associated with earthquakes are discussed. The current dilatancy models are summarized. Brief consideration is given to the possibilities of earthquake modification and control and public response to an earthquake warning. (JSR)
