Tomáš Kopf's scientific contributions

... Only factual historical documents were consulted from variety of cases with reports of thermal, atmospheric, geochemical hydrothermal, acoustic, animal behavior, and electromagnetic phenomenon being observed before and during the seismic events. Other observational facts that have been widely reported include: (a) deformation precursors [Wyss et al., 1981;Mogi, 1985;Neresov and Latynina, 1992;Kalenda et al., 2012]; (b) geochemical precursors [Irwin and Barnes, 1980;Wakita, 1982;Zia, 1984;Gold and Soter, 1985;King, 1986;Thomas, 1988;Toutain and Baubron, 1998;Martinelli et al., 2000;Cicerone et al., 2009;Fu et al., 2015]; (c) thermal infrared [Qiang et al., 1991;Tronin, 1996;Tronin et al., 2002Tronin et al., , 2004Tramutoli et al., 2001Tramutoli et al., , 2005Ouzounov and Freund, 2004;Ouzounov et al., 2007;Saraf and Choudhury, 2005]; (d) latent heat [Cervone et al., 2002;Dey and Singh, 2003]; (e) earthquake clouds [Morozova, 1996;Guo and Xie, 2007;Doda et al., 2013]; (f) earthquake lights [Stothers, 2004;St-Laurent et al., 2006]; (g) jet stream [Wu, 2004;Wu et al., 2015]; (h) air temperature and humidity [Mil'kis, 1986;Dunajecka and Pulinets, 2005], and atmospheric pressure [Bokov, 2010]; (9) VHF signals Fujiwara et al., 2004]; (i) VLF signals Hayakawa, 2004Hayakawa, , 2011Rozhnoi et al., 2007]; (j) GPS associated total electron content (TEC) Pulinets et al., 2006b;Zakharenkova et al., 2006;Kon et al., 2010]. Ari Ben-Menahem (1995) warned the seismological community that: "Seismology has reached a stage where its lofty goals will not be reached by seismologists alone and unless we launch an interdisciplinary research and observational effort, we shall always be surprised by the next major earthquake." ...
