This book develops the theory of electromagnetic (EM) precursors to seaquakes (i.e. underwater earthquakes) and tsunamis, including the sequential stages of the transformation of a weak seismic mechanical excitation of the sea bottom into EM signals in the atmosphere. It further examines the relationship between geophysics and biophysics, using appropriate mathematical support. Also described is a new model for the magnetic location of the epicenter of a possible land earthquake, as well as a block-scheme of a multidisciplinary multilevel seaquake monitoring complex. Finally, there is a detailed investigation into measured changes of brain bioelectric activity and heart functioning under the influence of moderate geomagnetic storms.
