Geological, Seismological, Geophysical and Geochemical parameters are considered. The book represents the modern state of the art after many decades of observations. The book fills an editorial gap and improves knowledge in the fields of natural risks and energy resources. Mud volcanism occurs both onshore and offshore in many places of the world. Mud volcanic phenomena have been to date described by local monographs or by articles published in scientific journals and no boo Analysis Geodynamics geochemie geochemistry bodemschatten mineral resources aardwetenschappen earth sciences geofysica geophysics geodesie geodesy hydrogeologie hydrogeology Geology (General) Geologie (algemeen) Notes Papers from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Mud Volcanism, Geodynamics and Seismicity Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record In OhioLINK electronic book center SpringerLink Subject Mud volcanoes -- Congresses Seismology -- Congresses Geodynamics -- Congresses Geophysics. geophysics.
