DESCRIPTION:
For example, Frohlich takes pains to narrate how the thinking of some of the leading players evolved over time." Sven Treitel, Tulsa, USA"The book's unusual tone makes it easy to read, whether one is a seismological beginner, a graduate student or researcher, he (she) will always find the book interesting and useful. taking into account the fact that the book supplies information comparable to that of a one semester long college coursethe book is worth its price." - Pawel Wiejacz, Physics Today . "This book is considerably more than yet another text in earthquake seismology: It also emphasizes the human element as science is being done. Even the world's leading seismologists may profit fr
Deep Earthquakes presents a comprehensive, topical, historical, and geographical summary of deep earthquakes and related phenomena. This book opens with an explanation of what deep earthquakes are, their significance to science and how they were first discovered. It will be of considerable interest to researchers and graduate students in the fields of earthquake seismology and deep Earth structure.. Later chapters provide a description of deep earthquake distribution and clustering in both time and space; a review of observations about source properties; and a discussion of theories for the origin of deep earthquakes. The book concludes with a comprehensive literature review of terrestrial and lunar deep seismicity. They are occasionally very large and damaging yet provide much of the data that constrain our knowledge of Earth structure and dynamics. Deep earthquakes (earthquakes with origins deeper than 60 km) are of scientific importance and account for approximately one-quarter of all
