Due to the increase in population worldwide, there is an urgent need to estimate natural hazards more efficiently. A crucial aspect of this challenging task is the mitigation of the risk of earthquakes. The occurrence of earthquakes is an inherently complex phenomenon that is manifested in the nonlinear dynamics that form the process of earthquake generation. Earthquakes interact over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales to generate new events; meanwhile, the coupling of stress interactions with other aseismic processes, such as fluid flow, poroelastic effects, and aseismic slip, may further reduce the frictional strength of faults, triggering more earthquakes. As such, earthquakes are considered a critical phenomenon, exhibiting nonlinearity, self-organized criticality, scaling, clustering, fractal/multifractal structures, and long-range interactions. The analysis of earthquake phenomena in the light of complexity theory is thus ubiquitous, and mathematical tools arising from statistical physics offer a consistent theoretical framework with which to better understand the occurrence of earthquakes. With the significant generation of new data in recent years, these modern tools may provide novel and substantial insights into the physics of earthquakes, with the ultimate aim being to mitigate the risk of earthquakes more effectively.

Fatfoot: Encounters with a Dooligahl is a quintessential cryptozoology investigation.Neil Frost has spent decades investigating and interacting with the phenomenon of the Australian Hairy Man, developing an intriguing thesis regarding the mammalian identities behind Yowie encounters. Based on observed behavior and biology (both personal observations and those of his community network, nicknamed The Octopus), the author reasons that there are three distinct species involved, all as-yet-undescribed marsupials. Fatfoot introduces us to the Dooligahl, the aggressive Quinkan, and the monkey-like Junjudee. The author's thesis asserts that 'manlike' or 'apelike' characteristics are due to evolutionary convergence, noting that similar biological parallels are found with many other Australian marsupials and their placental lookalikes. In an eminently readable history of his growing awareness of these mystery animals, the author lays out the evidence he has obtained, discusses the issues with gathering evidence (especially at a time when technology was expensive and difficult to obtain), and builds a foundation for future investigation.As a personal record of the author's coming to terms with an inexplicable animal in his own backyard, and ongoing search for scientific answers, Fatfoot serves to inspire both zoological and indigenous anthropological research.
