TY - CHAP AU - Rosa Nappi AU - Giuliana Alessio ED - Sebastiano D'Amico Y1 - 2012-02-08 PY - 2012 T1 - Integrated Morphometric Analysis in GIS Environment Applied to Active Tectonic Areas N2 - This book is devoted to different aspects of earthquake research. Depending on their magnitude and the placement of the hypocenter, earthquakes have the potential to be very destructive. Given that they can cause significant losses and deaths, it is really important to understand the process and the physics of this phenomenon. This book does not focus on a unique problem in earthquake processes, but spans studies on historical earthquakes and seismology in different tectonic environments, to more applied studies on earthquake geology.
