This volume is aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of the
state of art of research related to geo-related hazards in the
Caucasus and other orogenic regions; it is also devoted to shedding
light on a broad array of geological phenomena as well as
discussing innovative tools and strategies for geohazard
assessment. Additional emphasis is placed on preventive and
mitigation measures, which might be helpful in tackling seismic,
volcanic and landslide risks affecting major lifelines and
infrastructures. The innovative, multidisciplinary methodologies
illustrated in this volume may be successfully applied to other
orogenic regions across the globe. The book features major
scientific contributions from experts working on different Earth
Science topics, such as seismology, structural geology, applied
geology and volcanology. Its chapters describe a wide gamut of
cutting-edge research methodologies and are thus intended to be
read and shared by the worldwide Earth Science community. In
particular, the readers will have a chance to gain a thorough
knowledge of a number of key geological features that can be
observed across both the Greater and Lesser Caucasus. Moreover, the
volume provides a thorough description of the techniques employed
to assess seismic hazard in major cities - such as microzonation -
and an overview of the efforts taken to monitor and prevent seismic
and landslide hazard posed to vital energy infrastructures in the
Caucasus region.
