Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In recent years, large earthquakes in the circum-Pacific region have highlighted its vulnerability to devastating natural hazards, exemplified by the M ~ 9.2 Northern Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of 2004, which claimed nearly 300,000 lives. The late-1990s saw significant advancements in seismic research, enhancing the understanding of earthquake fault systems through extensive remote sensing data integrated with innovative analysis techniques and advanced numerical methods on high-performance computers. This volume presents various studies focusing on tsunami and earthquake modeling, featuring both large-scale simulations and detailed small-scale models. It emphasizes computational techniques, languages, and hardware that aid in data analysis, visualization, and modeling. Additionally, it includes studies on earthquake forecasting techniques, comparing their results with historical data. The volume concludes with theoretical analyses of seismicity's statistical properties by recognized experts in the field. It will particularly interest researchers engaged in the multiscale simulation and visualization of large earthquakes and tsunamis.
