Springer Advances in Earthquake Prediction: Research and Risk Mitigation (Springer Praxis Books)

Product Description Using the special natural conditions in Iceland as a "test area", this book describes the major efforts in earthquake prediction research worldwide. The results obtained in Iceland are of significance for earthquake prediction research around the world. Review From the reviews:“This book is really a review of earthquake research in Iceland … focusing on the issue of earthquake prediction in the specific seismic region called the South Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ), located in the South Iceland lowland (SIL). … the book presents perhaps the best study of bookshelf tectonics ever performed. It is also a uniquely detailed study of seismicity of a ridge region, namely the SISZ, based on both historical and instrumental observations.” (Pawel Wiejacz, Pure and Applied Geophysics, November, 2012)
