Preface
This book is a monograph of the earth science specializing in observational, computational, and applied seismology and geophysics. The contents of this book mainly come out of the International Conference for the Decade Memory of the Wenchuan Earthquake held in Chengdu, China, on May 12–14, 2018. The 2018 M8 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan, China, highlighted the importance for an international discussion on the seismology, geology, and geodynamics of large earthquakes, their predictability and risk, and how to make full use of the present knowledge and techniques to reduce earthquake disasters. Authors from China Earthquake Administration and top universities and institutions in earthquake sciences in China and USA present and review principles, methods, and techniques for characterization of the Wen
