This volume is the outcome of about 30 years of research in the field of earthquake seismology in various parts of South Asia. It comprehensively deals with plate tectonics and seismic waves in general and earthquake monitoring by permanent and temporary networks for active fault mapping, aftershock, swarm andinduced seismicity investigations in interplate collision and subduction zones and in intraplate shield region. Data acquisition as well as data analysis are well presented for clear understanding of interpretation with limitations of the techniques. State-of-the-art techniques in earthquake location/relocation, fault plane solution, waveform inversion, seismic tomography, fractals etc.are discussed, and the results are interpreted in terms of seismic source processes in the region. Covers topics ranging from basics of plate tectonics, seismology, data acquisition, seismogram analysis to use of software for earthquake locations, relocations, fault plane solutions, seismic tomography, fractals and waveform modeling INDICE: Foreword.
