Abstract

Seismomatics is the fusion of mathematics, statistics, physics and data mining at the service of those scientific disciplines interested in the space–time analysis of natural or anthropogenic catastrophes. This special issue on seismomatics has been motivated by a conference of the same name, which took place in Valparaiso (Chile) from 5th to 9th of January 2015. The selection of papers comprises both new methodological proposals and a wide range of applications related to natural or anthropogenic catastrophes. We highlight statistical analysis of marine macroalgae, of annual minimum water levels of the Nile River, of massive data on chlorophyll, of temperature maxima recorded over a complex topography, and of airborne pollutants in relation to the spatial spread of human population across Europe.
