Cet ouvrage, simple et concis, est une introduction aux grandes notions élémentaires des séismes et un état des lieux de la prédiction. Qu'est ce qu'un séisme ? Comment se forme un tsunami ou une vague scélérate ? Peux-t-on prévoir un séisme et avec quelle échéance ? Peux-t-on se fier au sixième sens des animaux pour pressentir un séisme ? Pourquoi prédire les éruptions volcaniques, la météo et pas les séismes ? A travers 70 questions, ce livre ne se veut aucunement exhaustif en la matière. Il fournit des repères sur l'histoire de la sismologie, l'évolution de la prédiction et propose un éclairage particulier sur le séisme de Tohoku survenu en mars 2011. En évoquant des pistes d'avenir, il nous donne des clés pour comprendre les catastrophes naturelles et mieux s'y préparer.

Located on the North Anatolian Fault, Constantinople was frequently shaken by earthquakes over the course of its history. This book discusses religious responses to these events between the fourth and the tenth century AD. The church in Constantinople commemorated several earthquakes that struck the city, prescribing an elaborate liturgical rite celebrated annually for each occasion. These rituals were means by which city-dwellers created meaning from disaster and renegotiated their relationships to God and the land around them in the face of its most destabilizing ecological characteristic: seismicity. Mark Roosien argues that ritual and theological responses to earthquakes shaped Byzantine conceptions of God and the environment and transformed Constantinople's self-understanding as the capital of the oikoumene and center of divine action in history. The book enhances our understanding of Byzantine Christian religion and culture, and provides a new, interdisciplinary framework for understanding Byzantine views of the natural world.

The book presents earthquake source, wave propagation, site amplification, and other seismological studies including earthquake simulation, application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in seismology, earthquake early warning system, waveform inversion, moment tensor analysis, receiver function analysis, earthquake prediction, and earthquake early warning system applications. To minimize the losses due to an earthquake, it is better to understand the source properties, medium characteristics, site condition, and amplitude of a probable earthquake at a particular site. The evolutions of earthquake source models make it possible to understand the source dynamics. However, analysis of the source using a single-domain method does not provide a better understanding of the source dynamics. Therefore, this book combines methods from the earthquake spectrum to waveform inversion and joint inversion. The book also discusses earthquake prediction methods and their reliability around the globe, and techniques of simulation viz. stochastic, empirical, semi-empirical, and hybrid, along with their limitations and application. Seismology is an interdisciplinary subject. Therefore, the information presented in the book will appeal to a wider readership from students, teachers, researchers, planners engaged in developmental work, and people concerned with earthquake awareness.
