The book summarizes both advances and applications in the field, thus meeting the needs of both fundamental and practical seismology. Merging the needs of the classical field and the very modern terms of complexity science, this book covers theory and its application to advanced nonlinear time series tools to investigate Earth’s vibrations, making it a valuable tool for seismologists, hazard managers and engineers.
- Covers the topic of Earth’s vibrations involving many different aspects of theoretical and observational seismology
- Identifies applications of advanced nonlinear time series tools for the characterization of these Earth’s signals
- Merges the needs of geophysics with the applications of complexity theory
- Describes different methodologies to analyze problems, not only in the context of geosciences, but also those associated with different complex systems across disciplines
