Geocomplexity and the physics of earthquakes /
Focusing on the temporal and spatial evolution of strongly correlated systems, earth scientists describe recent developments to show how fractals and chaos theory can clarify complex earth systems such as earthquakes, leading eventually to proven methods of predicting them.

| Summary: | Focusing on the temporal and spatial evolution of strongly correlated systems, earth scientists describe recent developments to show how fractals and chaos theory can clarify complex earth systems such as earthquakes, leading eventually to proven methods of predicting them. The 16 studies, from the AGU's series of sessions Physics of Earthquakes, cover models, patterns, constraints from field and laboratory data, and computational methods. They are not indexed.
