Earthquake Science and Seismic Risk Reduction (Nato Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences)
Earthquake Science and Seismic Risk Reduction (Nato Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book can be used as a reference by both specialists (e.g., seismologists, earthquake engineers, and physicists) and related professionals (e.g., government officials, land use planners). Scientific issues (the physics of earthquake occurrence and implications for predictability), applications (procedures for time-independent hazard estimates, and time-dependent forecasts solidly grounded on recent progress in earthquake physics, as well as unresolved scientific questions pertaining to such estimates), and policy issues (practical measures for seismic risk reduction in Greece and Turkey, and how governments should view earthquake prediction) are comprehensively covered. Each of the eight chapters is followed by a thorough set of references to recent literature. CD-ROM with color figures is included.
