Historical seismology : Interdisciplinary studies of past and recent earthquakes / editors, Julien Fréchet, Mustapha Meghraoui and Massimiliano Stucchi.
Modern seismology has faced new challenges in the study of earthquakes and their physical characteristics. This volume is dedicated to the use of new approaches and presents a state of the art in historical seismology. Selected historical and recent earthquakes are chosen to document and constrain r...
