Earthquake Hazards: Risk Assessment and Mitigation, Second Edition presents the latest scientific developments in earthquake and seismic research, including causality, impacts, preparedness and mitigation. The book takes a geoscientific approach to the topic and contains new insights about how earthquakes and seismic activity can trigger landslides and volcanic activity. This new edition provides 11 new chapters, including a brand-new section devoted to case studies from a variety of earthquake-prone parts of the world. Users will find a thorough, technical treatment of the topic that will be of benefit to researchers and academics in universities, research institutes, geological surveys and hazard management organizations.

Sorkhabi, Rasoul

Rasoul Sorkhabi joined the Energy & Geoscience Institute and Department of Geology & Geophysics, University of Utah as a Research Professor in 2003. Prior to EGI, he worked for the Japan National Oil Corporation and Arizona State University. Rasoul holds B.Sc. and M.Sc.degrees in Geology from India and a Ph.D. in Geology from Japan. Rasoul has over two decades of academic and industry experience, and has worked on projects in various parts of the world, from the fold-and-thrust belts through Tethys and Gondwana to deepwater toe-thrusts. Focus regions include Asia and theMiddle East, Africa, and North America. Rasoul has served as a contributing editor and on the editorial board for numerous journals and committees and has published and presented hundreds of papers in leading journals and notable books.
