Abstract

There are evidences in different parts of the world that suggest a relationship between certain types of magnetic phenomena at extremely low frequencies and the occurrence of a seismic event. To study these anomalies, it is essential to resort to more experimental evidence. Based on this motivation, this paper describes the implementation of a sensing station to record magnetic field emissions in the TLF-ELF bands, thus contributing to the study of its possible role as seismic precursors. The system also contemplates the sensing of some conventional precursors and other environmental parameters.
