Earthquake Seismology - Treatise on Geophysics

Presents various findings on the physics of earthquakes. This title includes chapters on seismicity studies from pre-historic periods to the modern studies on a global scale, deep earthquakes, nucleation, stress transfer, triggering, hydrological processes, and slow slips at plate boundaries.
