With a supercomputer at CAS and a model developed by Chinese scientists, a research group led by Prof. Yin Xiangchu, a guest researcher at the State Key Lab of Nonlinear Mechanics affiliated to the CAS Institute of Mechanics, correctly predicted an earthquake in south China on Sept. 11, six days before it occurred. The prediction comes from a spatial scanning on Sept 1 over the Chinese mainland with Load/Unload Response Ratio (LURR), an earthquake prediction method put forward about 20 years ago by Prof. Yin. a researcher at the Analysis and Forecast Center of China Seismological Bureau(CSB).
