This book introduces an integrated conceptual framework of the China
Seismic Experimental Site (CSES), describes its scientific challenges
and research priorities, and reports preliminary results coming out of
observational infrastructure in seismology, tectonophysics, geodesy,
geophysics and geochemistry. Preliminary community fault model,
community velocity model, and community strain rate model in the CSES
are described in this book. A multidisciplinary test observation system
includes GNSS, seismic array, and deep drilling system under construct
around middle segment of the Xiansuihe-Xiaojiang fault and other
seismogenic faults in the CSES which are also introduced. This book
introduces multidisciplinary topics and a wide spectrum of solid earth
system to describe various disciplines, methods, and techniques through
the CSES.
This book presents a vision of the CSES that is dedicated to deepen the
scientific understanding of continental earthquake preparation and
occurrence and enhance the disaster resilience of the society. It aims
at establishing a field laboratory of earthquake science, in which
international and interdisciplinary cooperation could be fostered and
supported. Contents of this book include the following:
- History of Seismic Experiment Sites in the World.
- Launching of CSES Project: Seismicity, Existed Earthquake Monitoring
Networks, and Historical Seismic Disasters.
