QuakeFinder, a humanitarian research project operated by Stellar Solutions from 2000 to 2023, aimed to save lives by forecasting major earthquakes through the development of technology and methods for detecting electromagnetic earthquake precursors. They built and launched QuakeSat, the first commercial triple cubesat, and deployed a terrestrial network of around 160 magnetic sensor stations worldwide to continuously monitor electromagnetic signals in earthquake-prone regions. Their algorithms have demonstrated statistically significant evidence of electromagnetic precursors, and in 2019, they partnered with Google to further analyze their dataset.
QuakeFinder's pioneering work in earthquake forecasting, supported by nearly two decades of monitoring and collaboration with other researchers, has laid the groundwork for future advancements in the field. Their publications, including a case-control study on ground-based magnetometers in California and an algorithmic framework for investigating magnetic field pulses, showcase their commitment to scientific rigor and innovation. As the humanitarian R&D division of Stellar Solutions, QuakeFinder continues to contribute to the future of earthquake forecasting.
