Scope of the Series

The book series addresses the multi-disciplinary topic of earthquake hazards and risks, one of the fastest growing, relevant and applied fields of research and study practiced within the geosciences and environment. It also addresses principles, concepts and paradigms of the earthquake connected disciplines, as well as operational terms, materials, tools, techniques and methods including processes, procedures and implications. This book series aims to equip professionals and others with a formal understanding of earthquake hazards and risk topics, to clarify the similarities or differences in fundamental concepts and principles in the discipline, to explain the relevance and application of primary tools and practices in earthquake risk study, to direct geologists, engineers, architects, planners, teachers, students, and others interested in the earthquake discipline to authoritative and vetted sources, and last but not least, to capture the wide range of expanding disciplinary activities under a single umbrella of earthquake hazard, disaster and risk concept.
