QuakeFinder is a humanitarian research and development project based in Palo Alto, California, focused on developing a forecasting capability for large earthquakes that could provide advance notice days to weeks ahead. Since 2005, the organization has deployed hundreds of remote sensors across multiple earthquake-prone countries, collecting precursory electromagnetic data ahead of seismic events and accumulating a large data archive. The work aims to identify patterns in pre-earthquake signals by applying signal processing and machine learning to support operational forecasting, with the broader goal of saving lives by improving preparedness. QuakeFinder operates privately under its parent company, Stellar Solutions, and is seeking strategic partners to contribute technically and financially. The initiative positions itself within the research services sector, leveraging a long-running data-driven approach to seismic prediction and risk reduction from its Palo Alto base.
