If this approach has promise it seems a shame that the mission ended yesterday, just two days after this paper was released. http://demeter.cnrs-orleans.fr/dmt

The next step must be to investigate whether any similar correlations have been observed. There have been plenty of major earthquakes over the past year alone. The satellite isn't going to have robust data on all of them but I would imagine that over the past 6 years they've been 'lucky' enough to collect decent data on at least a few more major earthquakes.
- hugh3 16y agoI think the really important question, sidestepped in the article, is how many false positives there are. It's not much good noting that RF buildups precede earthquakes if 99% of RF buildups aren't followed by earthquakes.
