PRENLAB

Earthquake-Prediction Research in a Natural Laboratory

Multidisciplinary European technology and science are applied in a common action aimed at progress in earthquake prediction research and at reducing seismic risk. The questions are where, how and when large earthquake ground motions will occur. Answers are sought by studying the physical processes and conditions leading to large earthquakes.

The PRENLAB project started on March 1. 1996, and ended on February 28, 2000.
- Prenlab-2 project started on April 1, 1998 ended on June 30, 2000.

Results of the first year have been reported.
Report December 1997.
