Abstract

Editors’ introduction. We will now discuss how new data may help in solving some of the basic problems that both the classical as well as the PCS (Physics of Complex Systems) approaches leave open. We will analyze separately the time and spatial domains, since palaeoseismic and geodetic techniques allow to tackle them separately. The InSAR geodetic technique, however, is likely to allow to simultaneously resolve the detail in both the time and the spatial domains, at least with regard to the evolution on time scales ranging from a month to several years.

In this section underlined symbols refer to vector variable.
