We know that "something" is responsible for producing what are termed "earthquake lights", in the visual range, and it is reasonable to suggest that this same "something" can be manifested in IR emissions also.

Traditional geophysicists refuse to accept that individuals outside of their specialty could possibly know anything about earthquake phenomena. They are unable to grasp the implication of IR emissions being created without the "earth heating up".

Is that paper published now?
Are you doing any active research Frank, or have some plans in the pipe?
I keep thinking I may try & make my own field mill, but without a computer to record data it seems a bit of a futile venture. Do you have a field mill & use it? Do you have others interested in this?
Do you think landbased FLIR units can record the IR changes?
A lot more comes to mind, but this suffices for now.
