Electromagnetic control of earthquake dynamics?

T. Chelidze, T. Matcharashvili

Dynamics of earthquakes' temporal distribution at the IVTAN test area in Central Asia undergoes noticeable changes induced by strong EM discharges. We have found that during the period of these discharges (1983-1988) seismic dynamics becomes much more regular compared to the periods before and long after cessation of experiments. These results may serve as an indication of the possible control of dynamics of a complex seismic process by strong EM impacts at least in the temporal domain.
