- Title: Earthquakes and Coseismic Surface Faulting on the Iranian Plateau
- Author: J.F. SHRODER JR
- Publisher: Elsevier
- Pages: 745
In this book, Dr. Manuel Berberian provides a thorough analysis of seismic activity in the Iranian Plateau, drawing on 42 years of research on earthquakes in Iran from ancient times to the present.
The Iranian plateau’s rich earthquake history adds valuable data to the global seismic database. Examining fault scarps through trenches helps scientists understand seismic events better.
Dr. Berberian, born in Iran to parents who survived the Armenian massacre, now devotes his life to informing and protecting people from seismic risks in active fault zones, despite facing challenges like being English as his fifth language.
He feels that, if he can save even one life, then that accomplishment would perhaps be a baby step forward. Yet, he also notes that one life is infinitesimal when compared to the 164,000 lives lost during the past century. Dr. Berberian’s hope is that governments in the developing world will wake up and do something better for their citizens, and in this book, he shows that it is certainly possible.
Dr. Berberian, a non-native English speaker, has expertly compiled and translated diverse sources for this book, showcasing his lifelong dedication and unparalleled knowledge on the topic. The book serves as a significant scientific contribution, supported by its detailed graphics and photos illustrating seismic damages and fault-related geomorphologies in Iran.
This book extensively covers coseismic surface faulting and related blind-fault folding, enhancing scientific knowledge. It stands out as a primary source on seismic activity in the region of interest, thanks to its thorough content. This work is significant to us due to our longstanding fascination with this area.
