User:Earth Defender/Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes

Introduction
In 2003 came the discovery of a principally new physical effect of three-dimensional gravitational field variation sensed at huge distances (1000 km to 10000 km away from the epicenters) before strong earthquakes. This effect laid the foundation for creating a principally new physical instrument, a PCT patented torsion detector of three-dimensional gravitational variations. On the basis of the said detector, ATROPATENA earthquake forecast station was developed and made, which automatically and independently registers three-dimensional variations of the gravitational field and transmits that information to the Central Database. Since then, newest modifications of the ATROPATENA station have been deployed in Baku (Azerbaijan), Islamabad (Pakistan), Yogyakarta (Indonesia) , Istanbul (Turkey) and Kiev (Ukraine) and integrated into the unified GNFE network. The Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes (GNFE) was established in 2008. The main purpose of GNFE is short-term earthquake prediction and prompt warning of Global Network member states about predicted strong shocks. The Global Network allows short term prediction of earthquakes all over the Eastern Hemisphere with a 90% probability, ( according to its website). GNFE participating countries (ATROPATENA station owners) presently include Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey and Ukraine.

Background
The ATROPATENA earthquake forecast station was developed, using as a basis a patented instrument, which is described as a torsion detector for three-dimensional gravitational variations. This station automatically and independently registers three-dimensional variations of the gravitational field and transfers such information to the US (La Habra) based Central Database. Since 2007, when the first ATROPATENA-AZ station was put into operation, short-term earthquake predictions have been regularly sent to the Presidium of IAS (International Academy of Science H&E, Innsbruck, Austria), Pakistan Academy of Sciences (Islamabad, Pakistan) and Gadjah Mada University (Yogyakarta, Indonesia).

In 2009, full scale functioning of the Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes was begun, with short-term earthquake predictions and transfer of such information to Global Network member countries. . Along with the countries participating in the Global Network’s activity (Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Pakistan), organizations from a number of countries are involved as associate partners, including SETAC, VisioTek (Turkey), NPK Prognoz (Kazakhstan), Institute of Seismology (Uzbekistan).

GNFE participating countries (ATROPATENA station owners) and partners (parties to cooperation agreements) include Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

Initiatives
In 2008, the Global Network for the Forecasting of Earthquakes together with WOSCO came forward with an initiative to prepare and present the “GEOCHANGE Communiqué” on global changes of the geological medium, which was  submitted to United Nations Organization, European Union, international organizations and heads of state. The Communiqué was prepared under the chairmanship of Victor Efimovich Khain.
