QUAKELINE

Description

QUAKELINE is a bibliographic database produced by the MCEER Information Service. It covers earthquakes, earthquake engineering, natural hazard mitigation, and related topics. It includes records for various publication types, such as journal articles, conference papers, technical reports, maps, and videotapes.

An effort has been made to exclude from QUAKELINE® those items that are indexed by the NTIS, COMPENDEX, and GeoRef databases; thus for a comprehensive search on a topic, these sources should also be consulted.

Leads to citations plus abstracts to records for various publication types such as journal articles, conference papers, technical reports, maps, standards, slides, and videotapes.

Subject areas include:
Earthquakes: causes, prediction, effects & aftermath, Earthquake engineering, Earthquake preparedness & education, Earthquake resistant construction & seismic retrofit, Engineering seismology, High wind hazards: hurricanes & tornadoes, Natural hazards mitigation: planning & policy, Seismology, Socio-economic aspects of disasters, Structural dynamics, Tsunamis, Volcanoes & volcanology, Wind engineering
