Long thought to be impossible, a new study suggests that we might be able to feel an earthquake coming if we use satellite technology.

Knowing ahead of time if an earthquake is set to strike would lead to better evacuation and organizational plans that could save lives. Thought to be a pipedream, a new study suggests that we might be closer than we think.

From the University of Tehran, Professor Akhoondzadeh analyzed chemical and atmospheric anomalies in the months before the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that devastated regions in Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023., to date, they remain vague, if not impossible, to define clearly. The technology and methods used do not provide a clear enough picture of a pattern researchers can apply across all earthquake-prone regions worldwide.However, we might not have been approaching the problem correctly.

Interestingly enough, he found lithospheric anomalies 19-12 days before the earthquake. Around 10-5 days before the earthquake, he detected most of the atmospheric anomalies, with ionospheric anomalies appearing 5-1 day before it finally struck.
