Earthquake Monitoring and Seismic Hazard Mitigation in Balkan Countries

ISBN-13: 9781402068133 / Angielski / Mixed media product / 2008 / 289 str.

Opis

The Balkans are seismically the most active part of Europe due to plate interactions in the Aegean Sea. This book gives a good account of past, present and likely future seismological developments in this area. It describes the tectonic evolution and on-going geodynamic deformations. Coverage also discusses earthquake hazard analysis, topographic site effects, and examines large earthquake hazards in the Aegean and the Marmara seas as practical applications of such procedures.
