Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public notice given to such events is not only the result of better communications, but also results from the increased impact of these events on a growing human population. In recent years, the population has increased greatly in regions of active tectonics. Northern India and the surrounding areas are prime examples. The consequence is that people and their man-made structures are concentrated close to active faults and steep, landslide-prone terrains. In just the past ... Read more

Reviews for Microearthquake Seismology and Seismotectonics of South Asia
"This book is indeed a befitting tribute to the great tradition set in India to seismology, to the great pioneering work of many earlier workers led by the great Oldham in the late 19th century. This book will be an asset to all teaching and research institutions in the field of Earth Sciences." Sri. T.M. Mahadevan, Deep Continental Studies in ... Read more
