Reviews for Earthquakes and Water
From the reviews: “This book … covers the past and current trends in the research on hydrological changes during and after earthquakes. … The book is concisely written and yet very informative. … its inimitable contents will be a useful resource for the researchers working on earthquake-induced hydrologic changes (and water-induced seismicity) and also function as a superb textbook ...
