This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume honors Eldridge Moores, one of the most accomplished geologists of his generation. The volume starts with a summary of Moores' achievements, along with personal dedications and memories from people who knew him. Leading off the volume's 12 chapters of original scientific contributions is Moores' last published paper that presents an example of the Historical Contingency concept, which suggested that earlier subduction history may result in supra-subduction zone geochemical signatures for some magmas formed in non-subduction environments. Other chapters highlight the societal significance of geology, the petrogenesis of ophiolites, subduction zone processes, orogenic belt evolution, and other topics, covering the globe and intersecting with Moores' interests and influences"--

The first lunar tomography and its implications for the mechanism of deep moonquakes and lunar evolution are also introduced.
Book Synopsis Natural Disasters and Risk Communication by : C. Vail Fletcher
Download or read book Natural Disasters and Risk Communication written by C. Vail Fletcher and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Disasters and Risk Communication: Implications of the Cascadia Subduction Zone Megaquake asks and addresses how we communicate about natural disasters and what effect our communication has on natural disaster education, understanding, assessment of risk, preparation, and recovery. The chapters of this book present expertise, analyses, and perspectives that are designed to help us better comprehend and deal with the natural risks such as the Cascadia Subduction Zone. It seeks to move past primal, fear-induced physiological and emotional responses to crises with the understanding that if we accept that the disaster will occur, expect it, and learn how we can prepare, we can calm the collective panicked beats of our hearts as we wait for its first tremors.
Book Synopsis From the Ground Up by : Patrick Daly
Download or read book From the Ground Up written by Patrick Daly and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2012 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tsunami that struck a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004 evoked international sympathy on a scale beyond any previous natural disaster. The international relief effort broke all records both in scale and diversity, with seven billion U.S. dollars donated from all over the world through public and private agencies for Sumatra alone. Simply as a reconstruction effort, therefore, the disbursement of those funds and the rebuilding of housing, infrastructure, and economy posed major national and international challenges. However this was not simply a reconstruction effort. Aceh at that time was a war zone, with Indonesia's military engaged in a major operation to crush a separatist rebellion that had been simmering since 1976. Even though the funds had been donated for tsunami relief, any real reconstruction of Aceh had to consider the impact of the conflict on the well-being of the population, as well as governance and administrative capacities. This volumes serves the purpose not only of discussing some of the lessons of the Aceh reconstruction and peace processes, but also of maintaining critical links between Aceh and the international community after the initial tranches of aid expire.

Book Synopsis PARIAMAN CITY: MENTAWAI EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI DISASTER GATES by : Prof. Dr. Dedi Hermon
Download or read book PARIAMAN CITY: MENTAWAI EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI DISASTER GATES written by Prof. Dr. Dedi Hermon and published by Book Rivers. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mentawai Megathrust area, West Sumatra, is one area that has a reasonably high earthquake activity with a significant enough potential strength and has the potential to trigger a large tsunami disaster, thus endangering the sustainability of human life and the environment in threatened areas, especially in cities on the west coast of Sumatra Island, including Pariaman City. Geographically, Pariaman City is directly opposite the Mentawai megathrust area, so that in position, Pariaman City is very threatened by the earthquake and tsunami disaster caused if there is a release of energy in the Mentawai megathrust area. It will directly affect the sustainability of human life and the environment and the existence of Pariaman City as a city that continues to promote coastal tourism in West Sumatra.The book entitled: PARIAMAN CITY
Book Synopsis Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences by : D.C. Mosher
Download or read book Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences written by D.C. Mosher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 780 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent global events such as the devastating 1998 Papua New Guinea tsunami, the 2004 Sumatran tsunami and the 2006 SE Asia undersea network cable failure underscore the societal and economic effects of submarine mass movements. These events call upon the scientific community to understand submarine mass movement processes and consequences to assist in hazard assessment, mitigation and planning. Additionally, submarine mass movements are beginning to be recognized as prevalent in continental margin geologic sections. As such, they represent a significant if not dominant role in margin sedimentary processes. They also represent a potential hazard to hydrocarbon exploration and development, but also represent exploration indicators and targets. This volume consists of a collection of the latest scientific research by international experts in geological, geophysical, engineering and environment aspects of submarine mass failures, focussed on understanding the full spectrum of challenges presented by submarine mass movements and their consequences.

Book Synopsis Active Tectonics and Seismic Potential of Alaska by : Jeffrey T. Freymueller
Download or read book Active Tectonics and Seismic Potential of Alaska written by Jeffrey T. Freymueller and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 179. This multidisciplinary monograph provides the first modern integrative summary focused on the most spectacular active tectonic systems in North America. Encompassing seismology, tectonics, geology, and geodesy, it includes papers that summarize the state of knowledge, including background material for those unfamiliar with the region; address global hypotheses using data from Alaska; and test important global hypotheses using data from this region. It is organized around four major themes: subduction and great earthquakes at the Aleutian Arc, the transition from strike slip to accretion and subduction of the Yakutat microplate, the Denali fault and related structures and their role in accommodating permanent deformation of the overriding plate, and regional integration and large-scale models and the use of data from Alaska to address important global questions and hypotheses. The book's publication near the beginning of the National Science Foundation's EarthScope project makes it especially timely because Alaska is perhaps the least understood area within the EarthScope footprint, and interest in the region can be expected to rise with time as more EarthScope data become available.
