Description for Nonlinear Dynamics of the Lithosphere and Earthquake Prediction
Hardcover. Provides an holistic approach to earthquake modeling and prediction. This book studies the lithosphere as a hierarchical nonlinear dissipative system within which the predictability of earthquakes, aftershock activities and the variation of seismic activity can be analyzed. It is aimed at researchers in geophysics and applied mathematics. Editor(s): Keilis-Borok, V. I.; Soloviev, Alexandre A. Series: Springer Series in Synergetics. Num Pages: 350 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 163 x 242 x 19. Weight in Grams: 616.
The vulnerability of our civilization to earthquakes is rapidly growing, rais ing earthquakes to the ranks of major threats faced by humankind. Earth quake prediction is necessary to reduce that threat by undertaking disaster preparedness measures. This is one of the critically urgent problems whose solution requires fundamental research. At the same time, prediction is a ma jor tool of basic science, a source of heuristic constraints and the final test of theories. This volume summarizes the state-of-the-art in earthquake prediction. Its following aspects are considered: - Existing prediction algorithms and the quality of predictions they pro vide. - Application ... Read more

Reviews for Nonlinear Dynamics of the Lithosphere and Earthquake Prediction
"This is an excellent book, [...] the first (to my knowledge) to deal with the Dynamics of the Lithosphere from the point of view of Dynamical Systems. [...] The book is well written and clearly organized. Every chapter is self-contained and addressed to graduate students and researchers in general." (Antoni M. Correig Blanchar, Newsletter of the European Geophysical Society, Oct. ... Read more
