Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this book is to present quantitative forecasting of the mid-term probability of large earthquakes both globally and over various regions of the world. This is a novel application of a newly developed alternative representation of the Gutenberg-Richter relation on the annual seismicity rate as function of earthquake magnitude to the ANSS Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog (ComCat). Earthquakes are dramatic natural phenomena of the Earth. Many regions of the world are prone to earthquakes. Severe disasters caused by sudden moderate and major earthquakes have resulted in heavy economic loss and tragic human fatality in these regions over the years. It is no surprise that earthquakes have become a major subject of interest for both geoscientists and the general public alike. Yet more than six decades have passed since the publication of the classic “Seismicity of the Earth and Associated Phenomena” by Beno Gutenberg in 1954, and relatively few comprehensive assessments of global seismicity have appeared in the literature. In the meantime, two favorable developments in the acquisition and presentation of observed seismicity data have made an even more vigorous assessment of the global seismicity imminently feasible. First is the vast improvement in both quantity and quality of the observed global seismicity data. Early in the last century, individual seismographic stations were established at many locations throughout the world. At such stations, sensitive seismographs operated continuously and recorded seismic waves generated by distant earthquakes. The significance of these worldwide stations was to promote exchange of earthquake readings, thereby improving pinpointing earthquake locations, even in unpopulated regions. The ability to accurately locate earthquakes of moderate magnitude at any place in the world was subsequently greatly improved when the United States established the Worldwide Standardized Seismographic Network (WWSSN). About 120 such special stations were deployed in 60 countries by 1969. A comparable step forward was also made in earthquake observation technology in numerous other nonparticipating countries.

Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive and methodologically rigorous analysis of earthquake occurrence. Models based on the theory of the stochastic multidimensional point processes are employed to approximate the earthquake occurrence pattern and evaluate its parameters. The Author shows that most of these parameters have universal values. These results help explain the classical earthquake distributions: Omori's law and the Gutenberg-Richter relation. The Author derives a new negative-binomial distribution for earthquake numbers, instead of the Poisson distribution, and then determines a fractal correlation dimension for spatial distributions of earthquake hypocenters. The book also investigates the disorientation of earthquake focal mechanisms and shows that it follows the rotational Cauchy distribution. These statistical and mathematical advances make it possible to produce quantitative forecasts of earthquake occurrence. In these forecasts earthquake rate in time, space, and focal mechanism orientation is evaluated.

Book excerpt: Treatise on Geophysics, Second Edition, is a comprehensive and in-depth study of the physics of the Earth beyond what any geophysics text has provided previously. Thoroughly revised and updated, it provides fundamental and state-of-the-art discussion of all aspects of geophysics. A highlight of the second edition is a new volume on Near Surface Geophysics that discusses the role of geophysics in the exploitation and conservation of natural resources and the assessment of degradation of natural systems by pollution. Additional features include new material in the Planets and Moon, Mantle Dynamics, Core Dynamics, Crustal and Lithosphere Dynamics, Evolution of the Earth, and Geodesy volumes. New material is also presented on the uses of Earth gravity measurements. This title is essential for professionals, researchers, professors, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of Geophysics and Earth system science. Comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects of geophysics Fundamental and state-of-the-art discussions of all research topics Integration of topics into a coherent whole
