Earthquakes can be Predicted with Geospatial Technology, Says Expert
…from The Assam Tribune…
“Contrary to what a section of our experts has been claiming here, Japanese scientist Dr Shunji Murai, the present general secretary of the Asian Association of Remote Sensing (AARS) and a former president of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), claimed here today that earthquakes can be predicted. Dr Murai, who is also Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo was making a presentation on the geospatial technologies and its trends at a two-day workshop. The Assam Remote Sensing Application Centre (ARSAC) of the Assam Science, Technology and Environment Council (ASTEC) and the Geoinformatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok have jointly organized the event.
“Dr Murai claimed that the Tokachi earthquake of 8 magnitude and Wencham earthquake of similar magnitude could be predicted applying the geospatial technology. The signals of the Wencham earthquake were available four weeks before it had occurred on May 12, 2008, he said.”
