▪ Abstract Recent developments in volcanic seismology include new techniques to improve
earthquake locations that have changed clouds of earthquakes to lines (faults) for high …

The estimation of the b-value of the Gutenberg-Richter Law and its uncertainty is crucial in
seismic hazard studies, as well as in verifying theoretical assertions, such as, for example …

We mapped the minimum magnitude of complete reporting, M c, for Alaska, the western
United States, and for the JUNEC earthquake catalog of Japan. M c was estimated based on …

Earthquake catalogs are probably the most fundamental products of seismology and remain
arguably the most useful for tectonic studies. Modern seismograph networks can locate up to …

The earthquake size distribution follows, in most instances, a power law,, with the slope of
this power law, the 'b value', commonly used to describe the relative occurrence of large and …

An extended earthquake swarm occurred beneath southeastern Long Valley Caldera
between May and November 2014, culminating in three magnitude 3.5 earthquakes and …

Abstract The Campi Flegrei caldera is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world
and since 2005 it is in unrest. Here we evaluate the 3D tomography of the b value at the …

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes the new facts surrounding the spatial
variability of the b-value—the slope of the frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) …

The spatial variability of the b value of the frequency‐magnitude relationship and the decay
rate of aftershocks as described by the p value of the modified Omori law is investigated. By …

Abstract Interpretation of the b-value of earthquake frequency–magnitude distributions has
received considerable attention in recent decades. This paper provides a comprehensive …
