Turkey: Not my field but I would approach serious academics first. I know Cenk Yaltirak has a hacker mindset and working on a project to create a sensor network for Istanbul. Prof. Naci Gorur may also help, he's retired but dedicated himself to this issue. ITU Geology, and Kandilli are the two main institutions genuinely working on the expected Istanbul earthquake:

- teleforce 3y agoThanks for the leads to potential collaborators in Turkey. I've been to ITU once before around ten years ago but not to the Geology Engineering department. If I remember correctly, at the time they're building a new HPC cluster mainly for earthquake forecasting and prediction. Will try to contact them, perhaps next time I go to Istanbul I can pay them and Boğaziçi Kandilli Institute a visit. Also if there's person or company outside academia interested on the research it'll be good because Tübitak has funding for international research and innovation. Perhaps we can have joint industry and academia collaboration to built real-time monitoring systems for testing the new earthquake prediction scheme.
