  • Heavy-Tailed Distributions in Disaster Analysis

    by V. Pisarenko, M. Rodkin ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematically, natural disasters of all types are characterized by heavy tailed distributions. The analysis of such distributions with common methods, such as averages and dispersions, can therefore lead to erroneous conclusions. The statistical methods described in this book avoid such pitfalls. Seismic disasters are studied, primarily thanks to the availability of an ample statistical database. ... Read more

  • Self-Organized Criticality in Earth Systems

    by Stefan Hergarten ...
    Self-organized criticality (SOC) has become a magic word in various scientific disciplines; it provides a framework for understanding complexity and scale invariance in systems showing irregular fluctuations. In the first 10 years after Per Bak and his co-workers presented their seminal idea, more than 2000 papers on this topic appeared. Seismology has been a field in earth sciences where the SOC ...
