It presents a methodology for using gas migration to predict earthquakes and explosive gas buildup. Using rigorous scientific investigation and documented worldwide case histories, this remarkable book presents compelling evidence showing that changes in gas rates, composition, and migration accompany the tectronic events preceding earthquakes and their associated seismic events, such as volcanoes and tsunamis. Because these gas parameters are detectable and measurable, they provide an early warning of seismEarthquakesVolcanic gasesEarthquakes.Volcanic gases.551.22 21622.338551.22Khilyuk Leonid F1014348MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911004803303321Gas migration4392007UNINA
