This book provides a fresh but physically sound approach to Advanced Seismic Hazard Assessment.  It aims to bring together modern interdisciplinary research and end-users, who have to cope with the problems of the earthquake risk management.

With the time now ripe for moving beyond the old paradigm of the traditional Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA), this book advocates more advanced methods for SHA that utilize up-to-date earthquake science as well as central scientific principles.
