Abstract

The Pattern Informatics (PI) method is a new approach to forecast earthquake based on statistical physics. In general, the PI method works for long-term earthquake forecast, but we can obtain the higher spatial resolution of abnormal regions by it. In this paper, we applied the PI method to study seismic risk assessment in north and northeast China. The research suggests that there might be earthquakes with M ges 7 in the juncture of Shanxi, Henan and Shanxi provinces, the juncture of Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces, and southeast coast of Jiangsu province from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2050.
