Pre-Earthquake Processes

<p>Pre-Earthquake signals are advanced warnings of a larger seismic event. A better understanding of these processes can help to predict the characteristics of the subsequent mainshock. <i>Pre-Earthquake Processes: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Earthquake Prediction Studies</i> presents the latest research on earthquake forecasting and prediction based on observations and physical modeling in China, Greece, Italy, France, Japan, Russia, Taiwan, and the United States. </p> <p><b>Volume highlights include:</b></p> <ul> <li>Describes the earthquake processes and the observed physical signals that precede them</li> <li>Explores the relationship between pre-earthquake activity and the characteristics of subsequent seismic events</li> <li>Encompasses physical, atmospheric, geochemical, and historical characteristics of pre-earthquakes</li> <li>Illustrates thermal infrared, seismo–ionospheric, and other satellite and ground-based pre-earthquake anomalies</li> <li>Applies these multidisciplinary data to earthquake forecasting and prediction</li> </ul> <p>Written for seismologists, geophysicists, geochemists, physical scientists, students and others, <i>Pre-Earthquake Processes: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Earthquake Prediction Studies</i> offers an essential resource for understanding the dynamics of pre-earthquake phenomena from an international and multidisciplinary perspective.</p>
