Paleoseismology: v. 62 (International Geophysics) - Tapa blanda

De la contraportada

Paleoseismology is the first detailed survey of the entire science of paleoseismology and summarizes the present state-of-the-art in both field techniques and data interpretation. Aimed at both the collectors of and users of paleoseismic data, the book proceeds step-by-step through the stages of paleoseismic field investigation and the application of results to seismic hazard analyses.

From reviews of the casebound edition:

"Paleoseismology is a turning point in this young but rapidly maturing discipline... The first chapter is a careful and detailed analysis of issues related to paleoseismology. Other chapters cover field techniques; paleoseismology in several types of environments, including extensional, compressional, and strike-slip tectonic environments; using landslides for paleoseismic analysis; and applying paleoseismic data to seismic hazard assessment and neotectonic research...The list of references reported at the end of the volume gives the book the feel of a well-organized book and not a simple collection of papers...a reference tool not only for new students but also for experienced specialists for years to come."

"James McCalpin and his co-authors have made a major contribution to the literature of paleoseismology
with this book. It is clearly the reference of choice to date in this exciting field....This is a wonderful book that will be used as a basic source for a generation. Buy it!"

"Paleoseismology definitely is a useful resource for researchers working on paleoseismological problems.... It should be on every paleoseismologist's bookshelf."
