Extreme Events – Observations, Modeling, and Economics: Geophysical Monograph Series

Autor M Chavez
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mar 2016

The monograph covers the fundamentals and the consequences of extreme geophysical phenomena like asteroid impacts, climatic change, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, flooding, and space weather. This monograph also addresses their associated, local and worldwide socio-economic impacts. The understanding and modeling of these phenomena is critical to the development of timely worldwide strategies for the prediction of natural and anthropogenic extreme events, in order to mitigate their adverse consequences.

This monograph is unique in as much as it is dedicated to recent theoretical, numerical and empirical developments that aim to improve:

(i) the understanding, modeling and prediction of extreme events in the geosciences, and, (ii) the quantitative evaluation of their economic consequences. The emphasis is on coupled, integrative assessment of the physical phenomena and their socio-economic impacts.

With its overarching theme, Extreme Events: Observations, Modeling and Economics will be relevant to and become an important tool for researchers and practitioners in the fields of hazard and risk analysis in general, as well as to those with a special interest in climate change, atmospheric and oceanic sciences, seismo-tectonics, hydrology, and space weather.

Public țintă

Primary Audience: The audience for the book is potentially vast, and it may include: (i) scientists interested in the theoretical and mathematical (statistical) treatment of extreme events and their consequences, including the analysis of time series of extreme events, (ii) geophysicists and geologists, interested in specific natural hazards and their effects, including comparisons between different hazards and their consequences, (iii) scientists and practitioners interested in the economics of extreme natural events, and (iv) scientists and practitioners interested in forecasting and mitigating the consequences of extreme events.

It will also serve advanced undergraduates, graduate students and professionals (postdoctoral fellows and research scientists) in geosciences specializing in the fields of climate dynamics and experimental and theoretical geophysics. It could also serve as a reference book for seismologists, meteorologists and earth scientists. It may serve as a textbook for graduate students in the field of geodynamics, natural hazards, and climate change. 

Secondary Audience:
Seismologists, geoengineers and public policy makers could greatly benefit from the content of this book.
