The BBC features a news story about how the detection of anomalous plankton production can be related to quakes. From the article: "Using satellite images and measurements of sea temperatures, they found a correlation between peaks in chlorophyll and proximity to an impending earthquake.
The amount of "advance notice" depended on the ocean depth and proximity to the epicentre of the quake, with the second factor taking precedence. "

  I doubt the veracity of this news... Could somebody explain how it is supposed to work?
