"Earthquakes and Coseismic Surface Faulting on the Iranian
Plateau" is a comprehensive and well-illustrated multi-disciplinary
research work that analyzes the human and physical aspects of the
active faults and large-magnitude earthquakes since ancient times
on the Iranian Plateau. The long-term historical, archaeological,
and sociological record of earthquakes discussed here gives insight
into earthquake magnitudes, recurrences, fault segmentation,
clustering, and patterns of coseismic ruptures from prehistoric
times to the present. The first part of the book examines oral
traditions and literature of the region concerned with earthquakes,
particularly in folklore, epic literature, and theology. The second
part assesses dynamic phenomena associated with earthquakes,
including active tectonics, archaeoseismicity, and coseismic
surface faulting throughout the twentieth century.
This work is a valuable technical survey and an essential
reference for understanding seismic hazard analysis and earthquake
risk minimization in earthquake-prone developing and developed
countries throughout the world.
Provides a reference for seismic hazard evaluation and analysis
Covers data dealing with crustal deformations caused by earthquake
faulting and folding since historic timesPresents unique and
complete data for use in empirical relation analyses in all
regions
