Could someone with knowledge in geology, particularly, seismology,

about the University or professor in question.

Also, here is a related, yet even flakier article. It seems very
speculative and come from the "India Times" which makes the "science"
seem more like something from the National Enquirer!

"Hoax based site" in regards to India Times, is what I suspected from
what I've seen in the past from them. Thanks for the confirmation.

Citizena --

After the last quake a number of reports analyzed the major quakes and
tried to "cluster" them.  There's some excellent data and maps from
USGS here:
