Demeter(希臘神話的女神得墨忒耳)為地震區電磁放射偵測(英文:"Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions")的縮寫。Demeter衛星由法國國家太空研究中心建造,目前已觀察到某類低頻電磁活動與地震活躍帶的關係,並在2004年9月5日日本東海地方發生面波震级7.1地震前一週觀察到明顯的電離層活動及溫度變化[4]。
VAN方法
VAN 是一套由 Varotsos、Alexopoulos 與 Nomicos 三位希臘學者在1980年代提出的地震預測法。此法以埋入地下的金屬棍偵測地震電磁信號(英文:seismic electric signals),部份學者聲稱能預測大於五級的地震,震央誤差在100公里以內、震度誤差在0.7個單位內、時間窗口為2小時至11天。這個方法受到 Sir James Lighthill 的批判性考察[5],此外也在日本激起一些科學上的興趣[6]。
