THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR RESEARCH ON SEISMIC PRECURSORS (IARESP) ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS DURING THE 2016-2017 EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY

A wider approach to the Radon precursor method is proposed, based on results from a network of several multiple ground monitoring stations. The intensities of Radon emissions recorded by the network are not the only factors to be considered; Radon pulses, which are otherwise systematic in shape and time of occurrence, are analysed in real time. Measurements carried out during the recent earthquakes in August and October 2016, and January 2017 show an evident correlation between occurrence of major earthquakes in the zone and radon peaks.
