地震是一种复杂的现象,世上没有任何能预测其发生的特效药,如何现实性地对其概率进行预测尚处于摸索过程之中。那么,究竟能够实现怎样的概率预测?为此,组织了本特刊在于揭示其研究展望和研究战略。预测大地震发生的线索是各种观测数据中的异常值。然而,这些数据是否成为大地震的前兆?其紧迫程度又是怎样的?相应的判别 Earthquake is a complex phenomenon. There is no effective medicine in the world to predict its occurrence. How to predict the probability of it is still in the process of exploration. So, what kind of probability prediction can be achieved? To this end, this special issue is organized to reveal its research prospects and research strategies. Clues to predict the occurrence of a major earthquake are outliers in various observed data. However, have these data become precursors to the earthquake and what is the urgency? The corresponding discrimination
