The Symposium attracted broad international  interest because many cases of natural disaster events, such as  earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, forest fires, etc., that occurred  in several parts of the world during the 1990s were presented not only  for their physics but also from the point of view of their impact on  society and their environmental consequences. Among these cases are  the 1997 Red River Valley flood in Canada and the large earthquake of  18 November 1997, in Zakynthos, Greece. In addition, the volume  contains contributions that apply advanced statistical methods and  artificial intelligence techniques, such as GIS, and systems analysis  to approach the description of physical processes, the discrimination  of experimental data and the assessment and management of risk. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e This volume forms an excellent reference for  scientists, students, engineers, the insurance industry, authorities  specializing in public safety and natural hazards preparedness and  mitigation plans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792365952\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-2386-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 297\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266216120460,"sku":"9780792365952","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792365952.jpg?v=1770815388","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792365952","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
