TLDR
In this article, the penetration of an electrostatic field from a source located in the lithosphere into the ionosphere is investigated, and the electrostatic problem is solved numerically for a medium with an inhomogeneous anisotropic conductivity coupled to an effective upper boundary condition.

Rocks That Crackle and Sparkle and Glow: Strange Pre-Earthquake Phenomena

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the physical and chemical nature of positive holes, how they are introduced into minerals and rocks, and how they become activated, and present evidence that, once the positive holes are generated, currents propagate through the rocks leading to electromagnetic emission, to positive surface potentials, to corona discharges, and to positive ion emission, and mid-infrared radiation.

A statistical study on the effect of earthquakes on the ionosphere, based on the subionospheric LF propagation data in Japan

TL;DR: In this article, a superimposed epoch analysis has been performed to find the correlation of the ionospheric perturbations with seismic activity, and it has shown that the ionosphere is definitely disturbed in terms of both amplitude and dispersion.

Formation mechanism of great positive TEC disturbances prior to Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 2008

TL;DR: In this article, the simulation results for reproduction of the observed seismo-ionospheric great positive effects in TEC prior to strong Wenchuan earthquake are presented, and the obtained results confirm the proposed mechanism of seismo ionospheric effects formation by the penetration of the seismogenic electric field from the atmosphere into the ionosphere.

Anomalous radon emanation linked to preseismic electromagnetic phenomena

TL;DR: In this paper, anomalous emanation of radon (222Rn) was observed preceding large earthquakes and is considered to be linked to preseismic electromagnetic phenomena (e.g. great changes of atmospheric electric field and ionospheric disturbances).

Electromagnetic Waves in Stratified Media

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide the theoretical basis for a variety of applications of electromagnetic (radio) waves to communications, navigation, and remote sensing, and this book is based on fundamental research in electromagnetic wave propagation that James R. Wait performed in the Central Radio Propagation Laboratory (CRPL) of NBS from 1956 to 1962.

Ground-water radon anomaly before the kobe earthquake in Japan.

TL;DR: Radon concentration in ground water increased for several months before the 1995 southern Hyogo Prefecture (Kobe) earthquake on 17 January 1995, and reached a peak of more than 10 times that at the beginning of the observation, before starting to decrease.
