After more than a century of effort, geophysicists still can’t predict when and where earthquakes will occur. Some have suggested that it may even be impossible. But UK and Chinese geophysicists say they have a new approach to seismic monitoring that should allow forecasting of the time, size and sometimes the location of earthquakes. Their evidence suggests they could give perhaps an hour’s warning before a small quake, or months before a big one. (source: nature.com)
