This paper reviews issues, models, and methodologies arising out of the problems of
predicting earthquakes and forecasting earthquake risk. The emphasis is on statistical …

The vulnerability of our civilization to earthquakes is rapidly growing, rais ing earthquakes to
the ranks of major threats faced by humankind. Earth quake prediction is necessary to …

Procedures for constructing a seismotectonic model of Italy, designed to be used as a basis
for hazard assessment, are described. The seismotectonic analysis has essentially been …

A New Paradigm (data driven and not like the currently model driven) is needed for Reliable
Seismic Hazard Assessment RSHA. Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment …

This chapter describes a systematic approach to resolving the problem where may large
earthquakes occur at present. The approach is based on the pattern recognition technique …

The study is based on the assumption that strong earth-quakes are associated with the
nodes that are specific structures formed around the intersections of the fault zones. The …

Abstract In 1972, V. Keilis-Borok and I. Gelfand introduced the phenomenological approach
based on the morphostructural zoning and pattern recognition for identification of …

We present the results of verifying the areas that were detected as prone to strong
earthquakes by the pattern recognition algorithms in different regions of the world with …

Abstract The Carpatho-Balkan mountain belt, the most seismic zone of the Circum-
Pannonian region, is studied with a goal to identify sites where shallow earthquakes with …

Typically, strong earthquakes do not occur over the entire territory of the seismically active
region. Recognition of areas where they may occur is a critical step in seismic hazard …
