Magnitude Vs. Time Plot

(top)

This plot shows the magnitude vs. time evolution of the sequence. The mainshock is ploted as a brown circle, and aftershocks are plotted as cyan circles.

Aftershock Locations

(top)

Map view of the aftershock sequence, plotted as cyan circles. The mainshock is plotted below as a brown circle, but may be obscured by aftershocks. Nearby UCERF3 fault traces are plotted in gray lines, and the region used to fetch aftershock data in a dashed dark gray line.

Magnitude-Number Distributions (MNDs)

(top)

These plot shows the magnitude-number distribution of the aftershock sequence thus far. The left plot gives an incremental distribution (the count in each magnitude bin), and the right plot a cumulative distribution (the count in or above each magnitude bin).

Pre Event Seismicity Results

Figure 1. Seismicity Map
Map view of earthquakes (circles) with magnitude M2.0+ that occurred within 3 months and within 5 rupture lengths from the event considered (star). Circle size is proportional to magnitude (see legend) and color represents the time prior to the event considered (see colorbar).

Figure 2. Magnitude (with b-value estimation) vs. Time
Magnitude (left axis) and b-value (right axis) vs. time of earthquakes in the seismicity map prior to the event considered (star). Color represents distance to the event (see colorbar). The b-value (gray line) is estimated within a sliding window of 20 days; results are only reported for windows with >5 events. The gray dashed lines correspond to a 95% CI for the b-value. The b-value estimation and confidence intervals are according to Tinti and Mulargia (1987).

Figure 3. Distance vs. Time
Distance (left axis) vs. time of earthquakes in the seismicity map prior to the event considered (star). Color represents hypocentral depth (see colorbar). The gray line shows distance to event considered averaged within sliding time window of 20 events.

Figure 4. (Depth vs. Time)
Hypocentral depth (left axis) vs. time of earthquakes in the seismicity map prior to the event considered (star). Color represents distance to the event considered (see colorbar). The gray line shows the depth averaged within sliding time window of 20 events.
