Full Description
This book celebrates the scientific legacy of Professor Giuliano F. Panza. His groundbreaking development of Neo-Deterministic Seismic Hazard Assessment (NDSHA), which resulted in the Panza-Rugarli empirical law, has reshaped how researchers model earthquake ground motion through physically realistic, transparent, and reproducible methodologies. The volume brings together nineteen scholarly contributions from international researchers whose work extends, enhances, or has been directly inspired by Professor Panza's methodologies and mentorship. Organized into theoretical frameworks and practical case studies, the chapters explore seismic-wave modelling, lithospheric structure, NDSHA applications, earthquake engineering, and multi-hazard interactions.
This book is intended for seismologists, geophysicists, earthquake engineers, hazard-assessment practitioners, graduate students, and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of physics-based seismic hazard approaches.
