Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting or predicting a seismic event. The methods comprise, by a system: receiving at least one communication signal using a carrier recovery component with a fixed location remote from a source of the at least one communication signal; determining at least one of (i) phase deviations of the at least one communication signal over time and (ii) differential propagation delays over two paths which the at least one communication signal traveled; performing operations to detect patterns in at least one of the phase deviations and differential propagation delays that indicate an occurrence of seismic activity with level(s) of confidence; and using the level(s) of confidence to detect or predict the seismic event.
