Earthquake Occurrences And Stochastic Modeling (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9787608609972)

"Earthquake Occurrences And Stochastic Modeling" is a comprehensive book that explores the field of earthquake seismology using stochastic modeling techniques. The book covers a wide range of topics related to seismicity, including seismic hazard, statistical analysis, earthquake prediction, and seismic precursors. Author explore into the complexities of time-dependent earthquake occurrences, focusing on the probability of earthquakes and the Poisson process. They also discuss rate changes, triggering, fault systems, and seismicity rates. The book covers the underlying physics of earthquakes, including tectonics, magnitude, fracture mechanics, and Coulomb stress. It covers various laws that govern earthquake occurrence, such as the Gutenberg-Richter law, Omori's law, and the laws governing aftershocks and foreshocks. They discuss the use of Bayesian inference, maximum likelihood, Markov chains, and Monte Carlo simulations in modeling seismic events. The book also covers the use of synthetic catalogs, intensity-based approaches, space-time clustering, and conditional intensity functions for earthquake risk assessment. Finally, the authors delve into ground motion prediction, seismic source characterization, and hazard maps. Overall, this book is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of earthquake seismology, providing a thorough and detailed overview of stochastic modeling techniques and their application in understanding earthquake occurrences.
