  • An Overview of the SIGMA Research Project

    A European Approach to Seismic Hazard Analysis

    by Alain Pecker, Ezio Faccioli, Aybars Gurpinar, Christophe Martin, Philippe Renault ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book presents a summary of the important outcomes of the SIGMA project related to all aspects of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment: source characterization, rock motion characterization, site response characterization, and hazard calculations, with for all of them emphasis on the treatment of uncertainties.In recent years, attempts have been made to identify and quantify uncertainties ...

  • Dynamic Tectonics and Karst

    by Stefan Shanov, Konstantin Kostov ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The karstic caves are favorable sites for tectonic events detecting, representing a conservative medium of three-dimensional framework where the tectonic deformations are well preserved. They also provide an environment conducive to dating and determining the geometrical parameters of past seismotectonic events. During the last three decades the study of dynamic tectonics and recent geodynamics in ... 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

  • Enhanced Surface Imaging of Crustal Deformation

    Obtaining Tectonic Force Fields Using GPS Data

    by A. John Haines, Laura M. Wallace, Charles A. Williams, Lada L. Dimitrova ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book takes an in depth look at a novel methodology for analyzing Global Positioning System (GPS) data to obtain the highest possible resolution surface imaging of tectonic deformation sources without prescribing the nature of either the sources or the subsurface medium. GPS methods are widely used to track the surface expression of crustal deformation at tectonic plate boundaries, and are ... 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

  • Resilience and Sustainability in Relation to Natural Disasters: A Challenge for Future Cities

    Edited by Gaetano Manfredi, Domenico Asprone, Paolo Gasparini ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The number of megacities worldwide is rapidly increasing and contemporary cities are also expanding fast. As a result, cities and their inhabitants are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of catastrophic natural events such as extreme weather events (recently more frequent and intense as a result of the ongoing climate changes), earthquakes, tsunamis or man-induced events such as ...

  • 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

  • Full-3D Seismic Waveform Inversion

    Theory, Software and Practice

    by En-Jui Lee, Po Chen ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book introduces a methodology for solving the seismic inverse problem using purely numerical solutions built on 3D wave equations and which is free of the approximations or simplifications that are common in classical seismic inversion methodologies and therefore applicable to arbitrary 3D geological media and seismic source models. Source codes provided allow readers to experiment with the ... Read more
