In recent years, large earthquakes in the circum-Pacific region
have repeatedly demonstrated its particular vulnerability to this
potentially devastating natural hazard, including the M 9.2
Northern Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of 2004 which resulted in
the deaths of nearly 300,000 people. In the late-1990s, major
advancements in seismic research greatly added to the understanding
of earthquake fault systems, as large quantities of new and
extensive remote sensing data sets provided information on the
solid earth on scales previously inaccessible were integrated with
a combination of innovative analysis techniques and advanced
numerical and computational methods implemented on high-performance
computers. This book includes a variety of studies that focus on
the modeling of tsunamis and earthquakes, both large-scale
simulation and visualization programs, as well as detailed models
of small-scale features. Particular attention is paid to
computational techniques, languages, and hardware that can be used
to facilitate data analysis, visualization, and modeling. Also
included are studies of several earthquake forecasting techniques
and associated comparisons of their results with historic
earthquake data. Finally, the volume ends with theoretical analyses
of statistical properties of seismicity by internationally
recognized experts in the field. This volume will be of particular
interest to researchers interested in the multiscale simulation and
visualization of large earthquakes and tsunamis.
