The Possibility of Earthquake Forecasting (eBook, ePUB)

Learning from nature

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Possibility of Earthquake Forecasting uses a holistic approach to address the problems of earthquake forecasting, demonstrating the earthquake preparation process as a complex system that relies on the interaction of different geospheres. The purpose of the book is to widen the understanding of the earthquake preparation process and to inform the audience that not only seismometers are necessary for earthquake forecasting. It illustrates how applications of space technologies like remote sensing in situ measurements and GPS TEC provide rich information on the process and help to conclude that the earthquake is coming. The authors explain the physical nature of the observed pre-earthquake anomalies and how their approach is working by utilizing rich illustrations of precursory phenomena in different geospheres.

Autorenporträt

Sergey Pulinets is a principal research scientist in the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. He has more than 35 years of experience in space plasma physics, physics of the ionosphere, and geophysics. As a senior scientist at the Institue of Geophysics of UNAM, he spent several years in Mexico studying the physical precursors of earthquakes and the mechanisms of their generation.

Dimitar Ouzounov received his PhD in geophysics at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. Since October 2009, he has been an associate professor in geophysics at the Center of Excellence in Earth Systems Modeling & Observations, Chapman University, Orange, CA. He is the author of about 200 papers and conference proceedings, and he has co-authored two other books with Pulinets on pre-earthquake processes and earthquake precursors in the atmosphere and ionosphere.
