This book presents 10 specific actions to be undertaken in order to provide results of practical relevance in seismology. From the statistical analysis of earthquakes, we can estimate the earthquake mean recurrence time and the probability of occurrence of the next earthquake. In addition, through statistical analysis, we can identify correlated foreshocks and estimate the occurrence time of the main shock. As the book shows, the general state of seismicity of a given seismic region can be assessed by statistical means, in particular the earthquake entropy. From measurements of the seismic waves on the Earth’s surface, we can deduce the tensor of the seismic moment, the earthquake’s energy and magnitude, as well as the orientation of the fault, the fault slip, the focal volume and the duration of the seismic activity.

Bogdan Felix Apostol, PhD, is a Scientific Researcher in the Institute of the Earth’s Physics, Magurele, Romania. He is the author of more than 50 scientific papers on statistical theories of earthquakes, earthquake focal mechanisms, wave propagation, elasticity and mathematical physics. Liviu Cristian Cune holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics. He is a Scientific Researcher in the Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Magurele, Romania, and is the author of more than 30 scientific papers on theoretical physics, condensed matter physics and mathematical physics.
