Abstract EN
The paper aims at giving suggestions for a deterministic approach to investigate possible earthquake prediction and warning.
A fundamental contribution can come by observations and physical modeling of earthquake precursors aiming at seeing in perspective the phenomenon earthquake within the framework of a unified theory able to explain the causes of its genesis, and the dynamics, rheology, and microphysics of its preparation, occurrence, postseismic relaxation, and interseismic phases.
Studies based on combined ground and space observations of earthquake precursors are essential to address the issue.
Unfortunately, up to now, what is lacking is the demonstration of a causal relationship (with explained physical processes and looking for a correlation) between data gathered simultaneously and continuously by space observations and ground-based measurements.
In doing this, modern and/or new methods and technologies have to be adopted to try to solve the problem.
Coordinated space- and ground-based observations imply available test sites on the Earth surface to correlate ground data, collected by appropriate networks of instruments, with space ones detected on board of Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) satellites.
Moreover, a new strong theoretical scientific effort is necessary to try to understand the physics of the earthquake.
