Earthquake Hazard Assessment : India and Adjacent Regions /
"This book represents a significant contribution to the area of earthquake data processing and to the development of region-specific magnitude correlations to create an up-to-date homogeneous earthquake catalogue that is uniform in magnitude scale. The bookdiscusses seismicity analysis and esti...
