Emergent Collective Dynamics in Fault Systems
Major earthquakes arise not from isolated ruptures but from system-wide preparatory phases within fault networks. This book presents a new framework, identifying detectable processes and reinterpreting seismic laws to advance foundational models for seismic hazard.
Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
This book describes the application of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in the geosciences. Using a laser to analyze the chemical composition of rocks, soils, and water, LIBS is a powerful tool for on-site analysis, from handheld analyzers to microscale imaging.
In situ stress is vital for hydrocarbon exploration. This book presents methods for predicting its distribution in complex reservoirs, providing a basis for well placement, fracturing design, and development plans, combining the latest research with practical applications.
