Short summary
Short summary
Geosystemics studies the Earth system as a whole, focusing on the possible coupling among the Earth layers, and using universal entropic tools. In this paper, earthquakes are considered as a long term chain of processes involving the coupling of the solid earth with the above neutral and ionized atmosphere, and finally culminating with the main rupture along the fault of concern. Some case studies are presented.

In December 2021, the agonic line crossed the Royal Observatory of Madrid on its westward drift. The previous crossing by the agonic line, drifting eastward, is not accurately dated because declination measurements of that time are scarce. After collecting the data obtained in the Iberian Peninsula over the last 500 years and reducing them to ROM coordinates, a geomagnetic declination curve was generated. As a result, the previous cross ing been the agonic line was dated around the year 1652.

In this study we analyzed ~ 17 years of GPS data from receivers installed in the observatory of Cachoeira Paulista, Brazil. We statistically analyzed the occurrence of GPS signal amplitude fluctuations caused by irregularities in the Earth's upper atmosphere. These signal fluctuations are known to provoke positional errors for GPS users. The results revealed that the secular variations in the Earth’s magnetic field are affecting the climatology of such GPS signal fluctuations.

Ionospheric disturbances observed in Antarctica during a moderately strong geomagnetic storm caused by the impact of a coronal mass ejection from the Sun are presented here. The ionosphere behavior was analyzed using GNSS and ionosonde observations at middle and high latitudes. The results showed that the impact promptly affected the ionosphere from the Equator to the high latitudes, resulting in strong irregularities, particularly at middle and high latitudes, which can affect GPS users.

Many anomalies before the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake were reported but not synergically analyzed referring to geosystem coupling. We investigated changes of multiple hydrothermal parameters in coversphere and atmosphere and studied 3-D evolution of b value in lithosphere. Quasi-synchronism of pre-earthquake anomalies georelating to particular thrusts and local topography are revealed. A geosphere coupling mode is proposed interpreting the function of CO2-rich crust fluids on local LCA coupling.

Short summary
A series of interplanetary coronal mass ejections in the period 7–17 March 2012 caused geomagnetic storms that strongly affected the high-latitude ionosphere in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. Interhemispheric comparison of GPS phase scintillation reveals commonalities as well as asymmetries, as a consequence of the coupling between the solar wind and magnetosphere. The interhemispheric asymmetries are primarily caused by the dawn-dusk component of the interplanetary magnetic field.

Short summary
Ionosonde data and crustal earthquakes with magnitude M ≥ 6.0 observed in Greece during the 2003–2015 period were examined. The ionospheric anomalies are identified on the observed variations of the sporadic E-layer parameters and foF2 at the Athens observatory. The empirical relationships between ionospheric anomalies and the earthquake magnitude and the epicentral distance are obtained. The possibility of using the relationships obtained for earthquake prediction is finally discussed.
