Mapping seismic site classes in Oaxaca metropolitan Area, Mexico, based on microtremor records
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias GeológicasAccording to the Mexican National Seismological Service (SSN), about 25 % of Mexico’s seismic activity is concentrated in the state of Oaxaca. Over time, its population has suffered serious material damage and human losses. In the event of an earthquake,
