Earthquakes and Multi-hazards Around the Pacific Rim, Vol. II

"Earthquakes and Multi-hazards Around the Pacific Rim, Vol. II" is the second volume of a comprehensive study on earthquakes and multi-hazard risks in the Pacific region. This area, known as the circum-Pacific seismic belt, hosts about 80% of the world's largest earthquakes, making it an ideal context for analyzing earthquakes and related hazards such as tsunamis and landslides. The volume includes 14 scientific contributions divided into five sections: viscoelastic deformation, earthquake source models, earthquake forecasting, seismic hazard assessment, and tsunami simulation. The topics covered range from specific case studies, such as the Tohoku-oki earthquake in Japan, to innovative forecasting techniques applicable to major cities worldwide. This collection provides valuable insights for researchers and professionals dealing with the complex dynamics of earthquakes and associated risks.
