  • 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

  • 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

  • InSAR Observations of Ground Deformation

    Application to the Cascades Volcanic Arc

    by Amy Laura Parker ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This doctoral thesis applies measurements of ground deformation from satellite radar using their potential to play a key role in understanding volcanic and magmatic processes throughout the eruption cycle. However, making these measurements is often problematic, and the processes driving ground deformation are commonly poorly understood. These problems are approached in this thesis in the context ...
