Changes in strain (Linear and triangular) rate and Ionosphere Total Electron Content (TEC) before Mw 7.9 2018 Alaska Earthquake are investigated. Ten years of global positioning system (GPS) time series solutions were used for strain estimation in the region before the occurrence of the earthquake using the Haversine formula and triangulation method. Linear strain values suggest an anomaly in strain variation trend near the epicenter. Additionally, daily TEC variations for 30 days before the earthquake occurred were monitored and analysed. Analysis suggests TEC depletion on December 26 2017, and January 16 2018, respectively. TEC values from 60 GPS stations data were interpolated to study the spatial variations of TEC anomaly. Hourly TEC data derived from GPS stations on December 26 2017, and January 16 2018, suggest low TEC zone concentration near to the earthquake epicenter during 1 to 4 UTC. Spatial distribution of TEC values in 2-Dimension corresponding to anomaly time at 60 GPS stations in the vicinity of study area suggests lowest TEC values at stations that lie closer to the epicenter. The study suggests Lithosphere-Ionosphere coupling before Mw 7.9 2018 Alaska Earthquake and recommends developing a TEC-Strain Monitoring System for further validation of the work and for the better study of earthquake precursors based on TEC-Strain anomalies.
