Vesuvius A.D.79 - The Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum

An account of the seismic and volcanic activity leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79, as well as a detailed description of the event itself and its aftermath. The authors rely on a range of scientific, artistic and literary sources, including the eyewitness account of Pliny the Younger.

Paleoseismology

Paleoseismology has become an important component of seismic risk analysis, which is mandated for nuclear power plants, dams, waste repositories, and other critical structures. This book is the first in the English language to be devoted solely to paleoseismology. It summarizes the development of the field from the 1960s to the present, encompassing material that …

Extraterrestrial Seismology

Taking a transdisciplinary approach to seismology, this unique book reviews the most recent developments in planetary seismology, helioseismology, and asteroseismology.

Fault-Zone Properties And Earthquake Rupture Dynamics

The dynamics of the earthquake rupture process are closely related to fault zone properties which the authors have intensively investigated by various observations in the field as well as by laboratory experiments. These include geological investigation of the active and fossil faults, physical and chemical features obtained by the laboratory experiments, as well as the …

The Earth's Inner Core

The inner core is a planet within a planet: a hot sphere with a mass of one hundred quintillion tons of iron and nickel that lies more than 5000 kilometres beneath our feet. It plays a crucial role in driving outer core fluid motion and the geodynamo, which generates the Earth's magnetic field. This book …

Vulkanismus

Wie Vulkane entstehen, welche Vulkantypen es gibt, wie sie sich auf das Klima auswirken und welchen Nutzen die Menschen aus Vulkanen ziehen können, beschreibt Hans-Ulrich Schmincke in der Neubearbeitung seines Klassiker. ›Vulkanismus‹ ist eine verständliche Einführung in alle zentralen Bereiche der aktuellen Vulkanforschung. Auf Basis plattentektonischer Vorstellungen werden Grundfragen der Magmenbildung und -entwicklung sowie Vorkommen …

Advances in Volcanology - Volcano-Tectonic Processes

Volcanoes have terrified and, at the same time, fascinated civilizations for thousands of years. Many aspects of volcanoes, most notably the eruptive processes and the compositional variations of magma, have been widely investigated for several decades and today constitute the core of any volcanology textbook. Nevertheless, in the last two decades, boosted by the availability …
