Advances in earthquake prediction: seismic research and risk mitigation
Stefánsson, Ragnar
The special natural conditions in Iceland as well as high level technology, were the basis for multidisciplinary and multinational cooperation for studyingcrustal processes, especially processes ahead of large earthquakes. This workleads to new innovative results and real time warnings which are described inother books. The results obtained in Iceland are of significance for earthquake prediction research worldwide. INDICE: 1. Introduction; 2. Iceland as a natural laboratory for earthquakeprediction research; 3. The June 2003 earthquakes; 4. Emerging, new understanding on the release of earthquakes and the earthquake cycle; 5. Warnings aheadof earthquakes to governments and the public; 6. Application to other regionsvulnerable to seismic hazards.
