Earthquakes are among the most devastating natural disasters that can befall communities today, but they remain notorious difficult to predict. Improving our understanding of earthquakes so as to develop better systems to predict and plan for these events is, therefore, of paramount importance. "Earthquake" is a comprehensive collection of current geophysical and seismological research into all aspects of earthquake studies. It includes a section on general approaches to earthquake research, addressing questions such as how we can find out about the earthquake history of a particular region. The second section considers specific analytical questions relating the prediction and management of earthquake events, such as how to predict collective behaviour. The third section takes a more geophysical approach; considering, for example, how to conduct hazard analysis for archaeological structures. The fourth section is devoted to new frontiers in seismology, delivering insights into new processes such as strong ground motion estimation. The fifth section deals with new seismological approaches to research and management, while the sixth considers approaches to the analysis of seismic waves, such as new models of earthquake ground motion.
