The quasi-permanent seismic activity that characterizes our planet can be very well explained through the geodynamic pulsatory model for Earth. The cosmic cycles governing effectively Terra?s evolution can provide a current and pretty realistic image compatible with sustained seismic activity of the Earth. More exactly, the phases of these dynamic cycles are crucial because they correspond to a trend of planetary expansion or contraction for Terra. From this point of view there are especially important two cycles,...

The Vrancea area, is known as a zone with intense and persistent crustal and intermediate seismic activity. The intermediate depth seismicity is concentrated in a high-velocity volume, an almost vertical body in fact a sinking lithosphere not completely detached, in the depth range from about 60 to 200 km. The epicentral zone is situated in an area of about 40 ? 84 km2. The present tectonic of the Vrancea area is a result of a former subduction of oceanic lithosphere, followed by a continental collision and slab r...

This paper presents the results of joint processing of satellite data providing record of ionospheric parameter anomalies, thermal anomalies and dynamics of lineament systems during the preparation and occurrence of a strong earthquake (M6.2, 24.08.2016, Italy). We describe the methodology for joint analysis of various geophysical parameters in monitoring of seismic areas. Based on the results of step-bystep processing of satellite data, it was demonstrated that 2 months before the seismic event, an increase in th...
