The mission of GeoCosmo is to establish the scientific understanding of pre-earthquake science necessary for creating a true global earthquake forecast system that could save billions of dollars and thousands of lives each year.

1. GeoCosmo EARTHQUAKE
FORECAST SYSTEM
December 2014 1

2. 2
THE GEOCOSMO EARTHQUAKE FORECAST SYSTEM WILL FORECAST THE
LIKELIHOOD OF MAJOR EARTHQUAKES
WITH 2 -3 DAYS OF LEAD TIME.
A forecast could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars.
We are gathering an alliance of scientists, corporations, aid organizations, governments, and
concerned citizens who will support the development of GeoCosmo, the
global earthquake forecast system.

DEADLY OF ALL NATURAL
DISASTERS...
AND DEVASTATINGLY COSTLY

THE GEOCOSMO SYSTEM WILL
FORECAST EARTHQUAKES
WITH ENOUGH LEAD TIME TO
MINIMIZE DAMAGE

6. 6
OUR METHOD PROVIDES ADVANCED WARNING THAT IS
NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH EXISTING TECHNIQUES
VS.
0 - 90 SECONDS
The existing “Early Warning System”
is nothing more than an
“announcing system” for earthquakes that
are already underway
2-3 DAYS
The GeoCosmo System gives us
the time we need to
protect people and property

7. 7
HOW GEOCOSMO
WORKS
Deep in the earth as rocks
are squeezed, they produce
electricity

8. 8
AS THE ELECTRICITY TRAVELS,
IT CREATES MEASURABLE EFFECTS
Ionospheric Perturbations
Radio Noise
Ozone Production
Air Ionization
Ground potentials
Infrared Anomalies
Magnetic field anomalies
ULF emissions
Unipolar pulses

9. 9
EACH EFFECT CAN BE DETECTED BY
SATELLITES AND GROUND STATIONS

10. 10
All the signals are weighted,
evaluated and combined to
create a forecast for the next
earthquake.
With a 2-3 day warning,
thousands of lives and billions
of dollars could be saved.

NASA has already granted Dr. Freund
over $1,000,000 to support research on
earthquake signals. This research is only
the beginning of GeoCosmo.
