The goal of this project is to provide a means of receiving electrical signals from the Earth's crust and distributing them over the Internet in near-real-time to facilitate research into their predictive value for earthquakes. Multiple scientists have observed low frequency electrical signals coming from the Earth that occur only before earthquakes. For example, this effect is noted in a paper from 2000: Geoelectric potential changes: Possible precursors to earthquakes in Japan... Typically, signals are received from man-made dipole antennas placed in the ground, some of which are very elaborate and strech for several kilometers. But there's a very effective dipole antenna growing outside your window today, as discovered by Stanford University Electrical Engineering and Geophysics Research Professor Emeritus Antony C. Fraser-Smith. While at Stanford, Fraser-Smith instrumented trees to measure low frequency electromagnetic signals in the Earth. The results from using a tree as antenna..
