Geoinformation Platform for Monitoring Geophysical Fields, Earthquake Prediction, and Studying Seismogenic Processes.

Abstract—A platform for monitoring and analysis of the seismogenic processes is described. The platform consists of two separate GISs. The first system, Web GIS Prognosis, downloads and processes data from remote servers and is used in the systematic Web earthquake prediction and preparation of a project for further analysis. The second system, spatiotemporal GIS GeoTime 3, provides opportunities for detailed study of the data prepared in the GIS Prognosis. Examples of the data analysis results on this platform are presented. The potential of systematic observation of the seismological situation in the GIS Prognosis is demonstrated by the example of California. Using the GIS GeoTime, the efficiencies of the methods for estimating the earthquake epicenter density fields when predicting earthquakes in Kamchatka are compared and it is shown that adaptive weight smoothing yields the best result.
