{"product_id":"plate-boundaries-and-natural-hazards-isbn-9781119053972","title":"Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe beginning of the new millennium has been particularly devastating in terms of natural disasters associated with tectonic plate boundaries, such as earthquakes in Sumatra, Chile, Japan, Tahiti, and Nepal; the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean tsunamis; and volcanoes in Indonesia, Chile, Iceland that have produced large quantities of ash causing major disruption to aviation. In total, half a million people were killed by such natural disasters. These recurring events have increased our awareness of the destructive power of natural hazards and the major risks associated with them. While we have come a long way in the search for understanding such natural phenomena, and although our knowledge of Earth dynamics and plate tectonics has improved enormously, there are still fundamental uncertainties in our understanding of natural hazards. Increased understanding is crucial to improve our capacity for hazard prediction and mitigation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume highlights include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMain concepts associated with tectonic plate boundaries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNovel studies on boundary-related natural hazards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFundamental concepts that improve hazard prediction and mitigation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlate Boundaries and Natural Hazards\u003c\/i\u003e will be a valuable resource for scientists and students in the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, plate tectonics, natural hazards, and climate science. \u003c\/p\u003e Read an interview with the editors to find out more:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/eos.org\/editors-vox\/plate-boundaries-and-natural-hazards\"\u003ehttps:\/\/eos.org\/editors-vox\/plate-boundaries-and-natural-hazards\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction to Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJoão C Duarte and Wouter P Schellart 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Reviews 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Rifts and Rifted Margins: A Review of Geodynamic Processes and Natural Hazards\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSascha Brune 13\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Origin, Evolution, Seismicity, and Models of Oceanic and Continental Transform Boundaries\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTaras V Gerya 39\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 An Introduction to Convergent Margins and Their Natural Hazards\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert J Stern, David W Scholl, and Gerard Fryer 77\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Earthquakes and Related Natural Hazards 99\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Great Subduction Zone Earthquakes: Advances in Our Understanding a Decade after Sumatra, 2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarc]André Gutscher 101\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Promise and Paradox: Why Improved Knowledge of Plate Tectonics Has Not Yielded Correspondingly Better Earthquake Hazard Maps\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeth Stein, Mian Liu, Bruce D Spencer, and Edward M Brooks 123\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Joint Inversion of High]Rate GPS and Teleseismic Observations for Rupture Process of the 23 June 2014 (Mw 79) Rat Islands Archipelago, Alaska, Intermediate Depth Earthquake\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLingling Ye, Thorne Lay, Hiroo Kanamori, Jeffrey T Freymueller, and Luis Rivera 149\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Large Earthquakes and Structural Heterogeneity in Eastern Tibetan Plateau\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJianshe Lei and Dapeng Zhao 167\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Seismic Potential of Thrust]Wrench Tectonic Interference between Major Active Faults Offshore SW Iberia: A New Explanation for the 1755 Great Lisbon Earthquake?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFilipe M Rosas, João C Duarte, Wouter P Schellart, Ricardo Tomás, and Pedro Terrinha 193\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 On the Sedimentological and Historical Evidences of Seismic]Triggered Tsunamis on the Algarve Coast of Portugal\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCésar Andrade, Maria C Freitas, Maria A Oliveira, and Pedro J M Costa 219\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Volcanoes and Related Natural Hazards 239\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Growth, Demise, and Recent Eruption History of the Eastern Cobb]Eickelberg Seamounts at the Intersection with the Juan De Fuca Ridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert P Dziak and Susan G Merle 241\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 The Devastating Impact of the 2010 Eruption of Merapi Volcano, Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSusanna F Jenkins, Jean]Christophe Komorowski, Peter J Baxter, Sylvain J Charbonnier, Noer Cholik, and Surono 259\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 The Tsunami Effects of a Collapse of a Volcanic Island on a Semienclosed Basin: The Pico]São Jorge Channel in the Azores Archipelago\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRachid Omira, Rui Quartau, Inês Ramalho, Maria Ana Baptista, and Neil C Mitchell 271\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Remote Sensing of Volcanic Eruptions: From Aviation Hazards to Global Cooling\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew T Prata 289\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 323\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. João C.
