Academy unveils Global Earthquake Index   

北京學術機構發布《全球地震指數》

北京智能經濟研究院(BASE)16日在北京發布《全球地震指數》(GEI)系統，稱能夠全面系統監測全球地震水平和趨勢變化。

Beijing (CNS)--The Beijing Academy of Smart Economy (BASE) on Sunday unveiled a Global Earthquake Index that has been five years in the making.

The system began experimental operations on June 1, 2012, monitoring daily global earthquake magnitudes and frequency indexes, then making predictions for the next day, said BASE's director Ji Zhu at a press conference Sunday.

The system has already analyzed global earthquake data going back to 2150 B.C. from the U.S. Geological Survey, he said.
