| Publisher Description: Earthquakes are among the most destructive natural catastrophes, due largely to their unpredictability. Many lives could be saved if reliable, practical prediction techniques could be developed. While plate tectonics provide fundamental insight, proposals for practical prediction techniques are controversial. Using rigorous statistical techniques, this study analyzes the most promising approaches. |
