Description
This breakthrough new book may help save countless lives and avoid enormous losses. It presents a methodology for using gas migration
to predict earthquakes and explosive gas buildup. Using rigorous scientific investigation and documented worldwide case histories, this
remarkable book presents compelling evidence showing that changes in gas rates, composition, and migration accompany the tectronic events
preceding earthquakes and their associated seismic events, such as volcanoes and tsunamis. Because these gas parameters are detectable
and measurable, they provide an early warning of seismic activity.
Gas Migration is the first book to accumulate, analyze and apply
the interdisciplinary knowledge on gas migration and detail its connection to tectronic, seismic, and geologic phenomena. It combines
geological, geochemical, geophysical, seismological, and petroleum engineering insights to demonstrate how gas migration and its associated
phenomena can be used in earthquake and environmental geohazard identification and prediction. Topics include-
Tectonics and Earthquakes
Gas Migration at Plate Boundaries
Surface Soil-Gas Surveys
Faults and Petroleum Reservoirs
Earthquake Precursors
Whispering
Gases
Paths and Mechanics of Gas Migration
Subsidence, Gas Migration, and Seismic Activity
And much more
With this information,
environmental specialists, civil engineers, petroleum geologists, seismologists, and urban planners now have a new and powerful conceptual
basis and tool for understanding and perhaps even predicting gas explosions and earthquakes.
