  • Statistical Analysis of Natural Disasters and Related Losses

    by V.F. Pisarenko, M.V. Rodkin ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The study of disaster statistics and disaster occurrence is a complicated interdisciplinary field involving the interplay of new theoretical findings from several scientific fields like mathematics, physics, and computer science. Statistical studies on the mode of occurrence of natural disasters largely rely on fundamental findings in the statistics of rare events, which were derived in the 20th ... Read more

  • 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

  • Three Great Tsunamis: Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011)

    by Vineet K. Gahalaut, Harsh K. Gupta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes. Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami ... Read more

    Fundamentals of Digital Seismology

    by F. Scherbaum ...
    Series Book 15 - Modern Approaches in Geophysics
    Digital signal processing has become an integral part of observational seismology. Seismic waveforms and the parameters commonly extracted from them are strongly influenced by the effects of numerous filters, both within the earth and within the recording system. With the advent of numerous software tools for the processing of digital seismograms, seismologists have unprecedented power in ... Read more

  • Active tectonics of the Hellenic subduction zone

    by Beth Shaw ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This thesis is remarkable for the wide range of the techniques and observations used and for its insights, which cross several disciplines. It begins by solving a famous puzzle of the ancient world, which is what was responsible for the tsunami that destroyed settlements in the eastern Mediterranean in 365 AD. By radiocarbon dating of preserved marine organisms, Shaw demonstrates that the whole of ... Read more
