The accelerated, and often uncontrolled, growth of the cities has contributed to the ecological transformation of their immediate surroundings. This book presents the factors contributing to the urban vulnerability, including lowering or rising of the water table, subsidence, loss of bearing capacity of soil foundations and instability of slopes.

Numerical simulation models provide the means to improve earthquake hazard forecasting and analysis systems based on predictive modelling and comphrehensive understanding of the phenomena. This volume is aimed at mathematicians and geophysicists.

This volume presents recent developments in atmospheric sciences driven by numerical modeling which makes use of geospatial technologies and increasing computational power. This main theme of the topical volume is extended to cover case studies on the use of geoinformatics in atmospheric studies in other regions at a range of spatial scales.

The purpose of the special issue is essentially related to a characterization of specific modelling aimed at an evaluation of territory damage susceptibility, ranging from the observed intensity distribution of historical earthquakes to the determination of the site amplification factors and the urban and territorial seismic vulnerability.This issue is addressed to researchers dealing with seismic studies as the result of an interactive process as part of macroseismic approaches and an a-priori determination of the elements if territory involved in the seismic risk evaluation.

This topical volume focuses on the most recent advances that have been achieved in relevant fields of research of nuclear test ban monitoring, including seismology, infrasound- and hydro-acoustics, as well as nuclear physics and atmospheric backtracking.

Considerable progress has been made recently in quantifying geometrical and physicalproperties of fault surfaces and adjacent fractured and granulated damage zones inactive faulting environments.

This volume, "Air Quality", contains many original findings on biomasss fires, transboundary pollution and associated haze and their impacts on health, biodiversity and economy and thus is expected to be a source book for research in South East Asia.

The number of seismic events that occur naturally on this planet can obscure illegal nuclear testing. These papers address regional data recorded using a variety of sensing equipment to discern real nuclear explosions from background natural events.

In the wake of the disastrous tsunami which struck Papua New Guinea in 1998, this volume presents 20 contributions on landslide tsunamis, including earthquake characteristics and ground motions, modeling of landslides in geotechnical engineering, field surveys on land and at sea, and simulations of past, present, and potential future tsunamis.

The Hiroshi Wakita Volume I is a collection of original papers regarding the role of terrestrial fluids in earthquake and volcanic processes. This Pure and Applied Geophysics volume provides the results of some of the most recent studies on terrestrial fluids involved in both processes.

The mechanism corresponds to reverse fault motion with planes striking NNE-SSW resulting from horizontal compression in the NW-SE direction. present a study of the characteristics of the plate boundary between Africa and Iberia, from west of Cape San Vicente to Algeria, using seismicity and source mechanism data.

This volume covers a wide range of studies, from mining induced seismicity to geotechnical applications, from the monitoring of petroleum resevoirs to that of fluid injections in geothermal areas, and to seismicity associated with water reservoirs.
