This could be a huge deal.
Scientists have found that tiny changes in GPS signals could allow us to predict large earthquakes roughly two hours in advance, a potentially livesaving new way of mitigating disasters.
"The existence of an observable precursory phase of slip on the fault before large earthquakes has been debated for decades," Université Côte d'Azur earthquake researchers Jean-Mathieu Nocquet and Quentin Bletery write in aPrevious efforts have failed to accurately predict major earthquakes, in large part due to the fact that we don't fully understand the connection between these signals and actual seismic activity.
