Features: This book is one of the "CAS Graduate Teaching Series." It is a systematic summary of China's earthquake prediction research achievements over the past 30 years and serves as a fundamental theoretical work. The book is divided into ten chapters. It first systematically elaborates on the development overview, basic progress, and scientific approach of earthquake prediction in China. Then, it systematically analyzes and introduces the seismological methods of earthquake prediction, covering chapters on seismology, crustal deformation, microdynamics of groundwater, hydrogeochemistry, geoelectricity, geomagnetism, and gravity, among other disciplines. Additionally, it systematically introduces the physical basis of earthquake prediction, as well as theories and models of earthquake formation processes. This book can be used as a textbook for graduate students and is also a reference for scientific and technological workers in the fields of seismology, geophysics, disaster prediction, and related university teachers and senior students.
