Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Paleoseismology is an interdisciplinary field that requires the integration of geology, geomorphology, geophysics, remote sensing, Quaternary chronology and other related disciplines. The study of paleoseismology has made remarkable progress in the past 30 years. The theme of this Special Issue is "Paleoseismology and Disaster Prevention", which calls for relevant original articles on topics including but not limited to the following:
- New methods and techniques for paleoseismic research;
- Recent progress in paleoseismic identification in bedrock areas;
- Paleoseismic research on hidden active faults in plain areas;
- Paleoseismology and urban disaster prevention and mitigation;
- Paleoseismology and seismic fortification of major construction projects;
- Paleoseismology and earthquake prediction and hazard assessment;
- Paleoseismology and the investigation of natural disaster chains.
