Proceedings of the XVI General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission, Strasbourg, August 29 - September 5, 1978. Symposia of Subcommissions

Proceedings of the 16th General Assembly of the European Seismological Commission, Strasbourg, August 29 - September 5, 1978 contains the papers (or their abstracts only) which were presented at the meetings of subcommissions and working groups. The present volume also contains some papers which for technical reasons were not submitted on time for the preceding volumes of papers from Strasbourg. A few papers which were presented during the symposia in Strasbourg but were not mentioned in the announcement for the ESC meeting are also included.
