On 6 February 2023, Turkey experienced its most powerful earthquake in over 80 years, with a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.7. This was then followed by second Mw 7.6 just nine hours later. According to the lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling (LAIC) models, such significant seismic activity is expected cause anomalies across various observables, from Earth’s surface ionosphere. multidisciplinary study investigates preparatory phase these two major earthquakes identifying potential...
Earthquakes are the most energetic phenomena in lithosphere: their study and comprehension greatly worth doing because of obvious importance for society. Geosystemics intends to Earth system as a whole, looking at possible couplings among different geo-layers, i.e., from earth’s interior above atmosphere. It uses specific universal tools integrate methods that can be applied multi-parameter data, often taken on platforms (e.g., ground, marine or satellite observations). Its main objective is...
The 2019 M7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake was the strongest one in last 20 years California (United States). In a multiparametric fashion, we collected data from lithosphere (seismicity), atmosphere (temperature, water vapor, aerosol, and methane), ionosphere (ionospheric parameters ionosonde, electron density, magnetic field satellites). We analyzed order to identify possible anomalies that cannot be explained by typical physics of each domain study can likely attributed...

On 20 December 2021, after six quiet years, the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted abruptly. Then, on 15 January 2022, largest eruption produced a plume well registered from satellites and destroyed volcanic cone previously formed in 2015, connecting two islands. We applied multi-parametric multi-layer study to investigate all possible pre-eruption signals effects of this activity lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere. focused our attention on: (a) seismological features considering...
On 3 November 2021, an interplanetary coronal mass ejection impacted the Earth’s magnetosphere leading to a relevant geomagnetic storm (Kp = 8-), most intense event that occurred so far during rising phase of solar cycle 25.
