Features: The book is divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 is based on the correct understanding of the physical essence of shallow earthquakes, which is the fundamental starting point for thinking about earthquake prediction. Around this issue, it introduces relevant basic knowledge. Chapter 2, given that earthquake prediction research and practice are based on observed parameters, briefly summarizes the physical meanings and basic principles of some seismic and medium parameters discussed in earthquake prediction research and practice. Chapter 3, based on the relevant basic knowledge discussed in the first two chapters, briefly discusses the analytical principles of seismological methods for earthquake prediction. The postscript is the author's personal insights on earthquake prediction. The book systematically discusses the theoretical foundation, key methods, and existing problems of seismology in predicting earthquakes. It provides in-depth yet accessible explanations of many aspects of seismology, making it highly readable and a rare professional read. This monograph not only greatly helps in the rational application of many established seismological methods over the past 30 years but also promotes the development of new prediction methods and theories by utilizing digital network data.
