Opis

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions pose a significant risk in the Eastern provinces of the DR Congo. Several severe earthquakes (M6) and volcanic eruptions caused loss of life and damage to properties.

This book should be on the shelf of scientist, graduate students with an interest into the investigation of volcanic process in the Virunga area and earthquake disaster mitigation.
