Geophysical Applications for Geotechnical Investigations
This practical volume applies geophysical techniques to hazardous waste site investigations, highway bridge foundations, and water quality. Seven peer-reviewed papers in a section on Surface Geophysics and Borehole Geophysics discuss: in situ soil testing measurement of engineering properties in rocks and sediments earthquake/seismic sensitivity of ...

Quantitative Geophysics and Geology
For the first time, a book is available that bridges the gap between geology and geophysics. Its integrative approach presents students and researchers in these disciplines with other methodologies as they try to understand the Earth's processes. The book covers the gamut of Earth Sciences, from earthquakes and seismic exploration to thermal convection and the orogenic processes. Each chapter ...

Earthquake Monitoring and Seismic Hazard Mitigation in Balkan Countries
Seismology is rated the Queen of Earth Sciences due to its ability to provide detailed structural information bearing on the Earth interior and on-going dynamic processes. This is due to the advanced theoretical foundation of seismology and the extensive cooperation among seismologists on recording and disseminating of data worldwide. In contrast, some 40 years ago seismology was a backward ...

Fossil Earthquakes: The Formation and Preservation of Pseudotachylytes
This book focuses on the earthquake source materials produced or deformed by both seismic faulting and aseismic creep within seismogenic fault zones at different levels of the crust. In particular, the mechanisms and processes involved in the formation of earthquake materials are covered also including the principal results of field investigations, analyses of meso-scale and micro-scale textures ...

Arrays and Array Methods in Global Seismology
In recent years, the increased availability and fidelity of broadband seismic instruments have effectively narrowed the gap between exploration and global seismic applications. Global seismologists are now able to take advantage of high-resolution, often exploration-based, tools to examine rock properties tens to hundreds of kilometers below surface. This book reviews the key assumptions, ...

Monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty: Seismic Event Discrimination and Identification
In September 1996, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), prohibiting nuclear explosions worldwide, in all environments. The treaty calls for a global verification system, including a network of 321 monitoring stations distributed around the globe, a data communications network, an international data center, and onsite inspections, to verify ...

Methods and Applications of Signal Processing in Seismic Network Operations
This book deals with various theoretical and practical methods for real-time automatic signal processing in local (and regional) seismic networks and associated software developments, including extraction of small seismic signal from noisy observation by piecewise modeling and self-organizing state space modeling, determination of arrival time of S wave by locally multivariate stationary AT ...

Vrancea Earthquakes: Tectonics, Hazard and Risk Mitigation
This volume contains the most relevant peer-reviewed papers presented at The First International Workshop on Vrancea Earthquakes, held in Bucharest on November 1-4, 1997. Strong earthquakes in the Romanian Vrancea area have caused a high toll of casualties and extensive damage over the last several centuries. With a moment magnitude of 7.4, the 1977 earthquake caused more than 1500 ...

Earthquake Processes: Physical Modelling, Numerical Simulation and Data Analysis
In the last decade of the 20th century, there has been great progress in the physics of earthquake generation; that is, the introduction of laboratory-based fault constitutive laws as a basic equation governing earthquake rupture, quantitative description of tectonic loading driven by plate motion, and a microscopic approach to study fault zone processes. The fault constitutive law plays the role ...

Seismicity Patterns, their Statistical Significance and Physical Meaning
This volume contains twenty-five research papers on seismicity patterns, their interpretation and their possible relevance to learning how to predict earthquakes. The interpretation of seismicity patterns has become somewhat controversial. Some researchers present case histories suggesting that earthquakes may be predicted by increased seismic moment release or seismic quiescence and, in general, ...

Seismic Instruments Journal
This journal is devoted to the description of geophysical instruments used in seismic research. In addition to covering the actual instruments for registering seismic waves, great care is devoted to solving instrumental-methodological problems of geophysical monitoring applying various methods, which are used to search for earthquake precursors, to study earthquake preparation processes and to ...
