Urban seismic risk seismic risk, which experienced rapid growth particularly in developing countries, by helping to raise public awareness. One of the disaster risk reduction themes set forth by the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction project PreventionWeb, is urban risk and planning. This theme refers to the measurement and management of urban hazards and vulnerability in order to improve awareness and local capacity to effectively reduce disaster risk. Urban seismic risk Urban seismic risk is a subset of the general term seismic risk which describes the problems specific to centers of population when they are subjected to earthquakes. Many risks can
Seismic interferometry filtering can reduce but not eliminate the occurrence of multiples in a given dataset. Although there have been many advancements in seismic interferometry challenges still remain. One of the biggest remaining challenges is extending the theory to account for real world media and noise distributions in the subsurface. Natural sources typically do not comply with mathematical generalizations and may in fact display some degree of correlation. Additional problems must be addressed before applications of seismic interferometry can become more widespread. Seismic interferometry Interferometry examines the general interference phenomena between pairs of signals in order to gain useful information about the
