An artifact in the Kamchatka earthquake catalog: study and elimination [PDF]
According to the available data from the Kamchatka Regional Catalog, in the southwestern part of the Kamchatka region, deep earthquakes systematically occurred away from the main seismic focal zone.

A unified moment magnitude earthquake catalog for Northeast India
Earthquake-related studies on seismicity and seismic hazard assessment need a homogenous earthquake catalog for the region studied. A homogenous earthquake catalog for Northeast India region was compiled using derived regional and global empirical ...

Preliminary Seismic Hazard Analyses for the Ugandan Region
Uganda is situated between the two seismically active branches of the East African Rift Valley System, which are characterized by high levels of seismicity.

B-value variations in the Central Chile seismic gap assessed by a Bayesian transdimensional approach
The b-value can be used to characterize the seismic activity for a given earthquake catalog and provide information on the stress level accumulated at active faults.

Seismic magnitude clustering is prevalent in field and laboratory catalogs
AbstractClustering of earthquake magnitudes is still actively debated, compared to well-established spatial and temporal clustering. Magnitude clustering is not currently implemented in earthquake forecasting but would be important if larger magnitude events are more likely to be followed by similar sized events.

Extension of Gutenberg-Richter Distribution to Mw -1.3, No Lower Limit in Sight [PDF]
With twelve years of seismic data from TauTona Gold Mine, South Africa, we show that mining-induced earthquakes follow the Gutenberg-Richter relation with no scale break down to the completeness level of the catalog, at moment magnitude MW −1.3.

Earthquake Size Distribution: Power-Law with Exponent Beta = 1/2? [PDF]
We propose that the widely observed and universal Gutenberg-Richter relation is a mathematical consequence of the critical branching nature of earthquake process in a brittle fracture environment.

Central Asia earthquake catalogue from ancient time to 2009
In this work, we present the seismic catalogue compiled for Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan) in the framework of the Earthquake Model Central Asia (EMCA) project. The catalogue from 2000 B.C. to 2009 A.D.

Comprehensive study of micro-seismicity by using an automatic monitoring platform
A modern digital seismic network, with many stations optimally distributed on the earthquake causative seismic zone, enables detection of very low magnitude earthquakes and determination of their source parameters.
