The temporal dimension indicates that earthquake origin times are concentrated on a small subset of total time, determining quantitatively properties of this subset are the basis for the short-term earthquake prediction. Similarly, the long-term forecasts are based on the description of the spatial structure of earthquake occurrence, its dimension p…
Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciences about four decades ago. Modeling has proven its worth and now it is an accepted procedure for analyzing and solving geological problems. The papers in this collection are focused on modeling sediment deposition and sedimentary sequences and have a decidedly practical flavor. Some of the l…
