TLDR
The IIT Madras nano-satellite (IITMSAT) mission is designed to make sensitive measurements of charged particle fluxes in a Low Earth Orbit to study the nature of charge particle precipitation from the Van Allen radiation belts caused due to seismo-electromagnetic emissions as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
In the past decade, several attempts have been made to study the effects of seismo-electromagnetic emissions - an earthquake precursor, on the ionosphere and the radiation belts. The IIT Madras nano-satellite (IITMSAT) mission is designed to make sensitive measurements of charged particle fluxes in a Low Earth Orbit to study the nature of charged particle precipitation from the Van Allen radiation belts caused due to such emissions. With the Space-based Proton Electron Energy Detector on-board a single nano-satellite, the mission will attempt to gather statistically significant data to verify possible correlations with seismo-electromagnetic emissions before major earthquakes.read more

A 3D Kinetic Distribution that Yields Observed Plasma Density in the Inner Van Allen Belt
TL;DR: In this article, a steady-state distribution is obtained that approximately yields the observed plasma density profile of the inner Van Allen radiation belt, which assumes a collisionless, magnetized plasma with zero electric field present.

Magnetic and electric fields associated with changes in high pore pressure in fault zones : Application to the Loma Prieta ULF emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the electric and magnetic signals generated during failure of faults containing sealed compartments with pore pressures ranging from hydrostatic to lithostatic levels were determined, and they were comparable in magnitude and frequency to the magnetic signals observed prior to the Loma Prieta earthquake of October 18, 1989, provided fracture lengths are less than 200 m.
