Abstract

Earthquakes are dynamic phenomena that can be predicted by some geophysical and geochemical anomalies occurring in lithosphere, surfacesphere, atmosphere and ionosphere during preparation phase. These seismic LSAIC (Lithospheric- Surfacespheric-Atmospheric-Ionospheric Coupling) perturbations are widely considered as earthquake presignals. The most important earthquake precursors which can be detected from space are: a)temperature changes (detected through air and land surface temperature, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) as well as anomalies recorded by outgoing long-wave radiation and latent heat flux from TIR (Thermal InfraRed) spectral bands of time-series satellites MODIS Terra/Aqua , NOAA AVHRR, ASTER, Landsat TM/ETM data; b) ground surface deformations detected through Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) radar satellite (Sentinel 1) and high quality in-situ GPS monitoring data as well as from time series satellite data in optical range (VIS and IR) from Landsat TM/ETM/OLI, MODIS Terra/Aqua, IKONOS, and Quickbird etc. for geologic lineaments changes location; c) electric and magnetic fields anomalies developed weeks to hours- before the main shock (ionospheric TEC-Total Electron Content, solar and geomagnetic indices which can be detectable from SWARM, GOCE satellites, and in-situ monitoring radon, gamma rays, etc. This paper aims to present analysis of seismic multi-presignals detected through changes of geophysical and geochemical parameters from time-series geospatial and field data for some moderate earthquakes recorded in Vrancea seismic region in Romania. As Vrancea zone in Carpathians has a significant regional tectonic activity in Romania and Europe, the joint analysis of satellite and in-situ geophysical information is revealing new insights in the field of hazard assessment.
