The Seismic Cycle From Observation to Modeling
Earthquakes rank among the most destructive manifestations of the Earth’s dynamics. Can they be predicted? This is often the first question students ask. To answer that right away: no, at present it is not possible to anticipate the date, site and magnitude of future seismic events. However, there does exist a general framework to describe observations related to earthquakes and understand the processes that lead to their occurrence: the seismic cycle.
The objective of this book is to discuss the state of knowledge on the seismic cycle, providing a comprehensive view of the progress made in the last three decades. These advances came from enhanced observation capabilities. Since the late 1990s, most earthquake-prone regions have been equipped with seismological, accelerometric and geodetic networks.
