Download or read book The Politics of Earthquake Prediction written by Richard S. Olson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Earthquake Prediction is a suspenseful account of what happens when scientists predict an enormous earthquake for a specific day--an earthquake that did not, in this instance, happen, but which, if it had, would have been one of the most destructive of our century. Working in a field where uncertainty abounds, Dr. Brian Brady of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and Dr. William Spence of the U.S. Geological Survey gradually came to the conclusion that a catastrophic quake would occur on June 28, 1981, off the coast of central Peru, near the great population center of Lima-Callao. Their research was based on a theory challenging scientific notions widely accepted in the seismological "establishment." This book is a fast-paced but thorough and sensitive description of how this scientific dispute became a political controversy. The work portrays in detail the struggles of scientists and government officials in both the United States and Peru attempting to "do the right thing" as the target date approached. The authors emphasize the political, economic, and moral dilemmas of earthquake prediction, the impact of the media, and the potentially drastic consequences of ignoring a valid prediction. Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download or read book Improved Seismic Monitoring Improved Decision Making written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-01-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved Seismic Monitoringâ€"Improved Decision-Making, describes and assesses the varied economic benefits potentially derived from modernizing and expanding seismic monitoring activities in the United States. These benefits include more effective loss avoidance regulations and strategies, improved understanding of earthquake processes, better engineering design, more effective hazard mitigation strategies, and improved emergency response and recovery. The economic principles that must be applied to determine potential benefits are reviewed and the report concludes that although there is insufficient information available at present to fully quantify all the potential benefits, the annual dollar costs for improved seismic monitoring are in the tens of millions and the potential annual dollar benefits are in the hundreds of millions.

This book was released on with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first successful prediction of a damaging earthquake in the United States could come within a few years--or it could take a decade or more, since scientifically based earthquake prediction is still largely in the research stage in this country. Two major destructive earthquake occurrences have been successfully predicted, both in China: the Haicheng earthquake, Liaoning Province, February 4, 1975; and a pair of earthquakes 97 minutes apart, Richter magnitude 6.9, near the China-Burma border, May 29, 1976. No details are yet available on the prediction of May 29, 1976 events. Press reports indicate that the time of occurrence was predicted very closely; magnetic field variations, fluctuations in water levels, and anomalous animal behavior were mentioned as precursors used to make the prediction.
