GeoCosmo EARTHQUAKE FORECAST SYSTEM

2

THE GEOCOSMO EARTHQUAKE FORECAST SYSTEM WILL FORECAST THE LIKELIHOOD OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKES

WITH 2 -3 DAYS OF LEAD TIME.

A forecast could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars.

We are gathering an alliance of scientists, corporations, aid organizations, governments, and concerned citizens who will support the development of GeoCosmo, the

global earthquake forecast system.

EARTHQUAKES ARE THE MOST DEADLY OF ALL NATURAL DISASTERS...AND DEVASTATINGLY COSTLY

4

2010 Haiti

230,000Casualties

$13 Billion in Damage

2011 Japan

13,000Casualties

$122 Billion in Damage

1989San Francisco Bay Area

63Casualties

$6 Billion in Damage

THE GEOCOSMO SYSTEM WILL FORECAST EARTHQUAKES WITH ENOUGH LEAD TIME TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE

VS.

The existing “Early Warning System” is nothing more than an

“announcing system” for earthquakes that are already underway

0 - 90 SECONDS

The GeoCosmo System gives us the time we need to

protect people and property

2-3 DAYS

OUR METHOD PROVIDES ADVANCED WARNING THAT ISNOT AVAILABLE THROUGH EXISTING TECHNIQUES

7

HOW GeoCosmo WORKS

Deep in the earth as rocks are squeezed, they produce electricity

8

Infrared Anomalies

Radio Noise

Air Ionization

AS THE ELECTRICITY TRAVELS, IT CREATES MEASURABLE EFFECTS

Magnetic field anomalies

ULF emissions

Unipolar pulses

Ground potentials

Ozone Production

Ionospheric Perturbations

9

EACH EFFECT CAN BE DETECTED BYSATELLITES AND GROUND STATIONS

10

All the signals are weighted, evaluated and combined to create a forecast for the next earthquake.

With a 2-3 day warning, thousands of lives and billions of dollars could be saved.

NASA has already granted Dr. Freund over $1,000,000 to support research on earthquake signals. This research is only

the beginning of GeoCosmo.
