Abstract

This contribution presents the recent research developments within the Cosmic Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory in the search for resolution of various scientific puzzles, ranging from fundamental physical questions to applications like the determination of earthquake precursors. The state-of-the art theoretical, numerical and computational aspects of these phenomena are addressed, as well as recent experimental developments for detection.
