The 2011 Mineral, Virginia, Earthquake, and Its Significance for Seismic Hazards in Eastern North AmericaJ. Wright Horton Jr., Martin C. Chapman, Russell A. Green "The 2011 Mineral, Virginia, earthquake, the largest to occur in the Appalachian region in more than 100 years, provided new seismologic, engineering, geologic, hydrologic, and geophysical data. This volume makes these results available for geoscientists, engineers, and decision makers interested in understanding earthquakes and seismic hazards in eastern North America and other intraplate settings"-- |
