Geomorphic Impacts of Earthquakes: Post-Seismic Landscape Evolution (Not yet published)
| PUBLISHER | Elsevier (09/01/2026) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
Geomorphic Impacts of Earthquakes: Post-Seismic Landscape Evolution summarises the full range of landscape alterations that can result from large earthquakes, ranging from slope instability and river aggradation to prograded coastlines. Although the damage to society that results directly from the shaking and ground rupture in large earthquakes is well known, the consequential effects of seismicity on the landscape causes earth surface deformations and hazards that are only now being fully understood. Many of these paraseismic consequences are subtle, and can take effect at large distances from, and long times after, the causative fault rupture. Geomorphic Impacts of Earthquakes: Post-Seismic Landscape Evolution underpins the consequences of major earthquakes, which are increasing as Earth's population burgeons and climate and anthropogenic effects are ongoing. Readers professionally engaged in the Earth sciences will be better prepared to assess the full range of natural hazards that threaten particular locations, and to work out how to evaluate their contribution to societal risks.
