Surface Ruptures Associated with the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Sequence in Southwest Japan
ISBN: 9789811911491 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In April 2016, a series of earthquakes hit the Kumamoto area of Kyushu Island, southwest Japan. The Mj 7.3 (Mw 7.0) mainshock produced extensive and complex surface ruptures in and around the active Futagawa-Hinagu fault zone, including primary right-lateral faulting, slip-partitioned normal faulting, and distributed and triggered surface breaks, as well as minor surface ruptures associated with the foreshocks of up to Mj 6.5 (Mw 6.2). This book provides a complete record of those surface ruptures mapped by a team of more than 25 researchers from Japanese universities and research institutes....

Extreme Value Theory with Applications to Natural Hazards: From Statistical Theory to Industrial Practice
ISBN: 9783030749446 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This richly illustrated book describes statistical extreme value theory for the quantification of natural hazards, such as strong winds, floods and rainfall, and discusses an interdisciplinary approach to allow the theoretical methods to be applied. The approach consists of a number of steps: data selection and correction, non-stationary theory (to account for trends due to climate change), and selecting appropriate estimation techniques based on both decision-theoretic features (e.g., Bayesian theory), empirical robustness and a valid treatment of uncertainties. It also examines and... This richly illustrated book describes statistical extreme value theory for the quantification of natural hazards, such as strong winds, floods and... |
