Journal ArticleDOI
On an improved method to obtain the moment tensor and depth of earthquakes from the amplitude spectrum of Rayleigh waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the amplitude spectra of vertical-component Rayleigh waves in the period range of 20 to 100 seconds was used to invert the moment tensor and depth using the amplitude spectrum of Rayleigh wave in the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia, the Eastern Cordillera of Peru, and the Gibbs Transform fault in the North Atlantic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teleseismic body‐wave analysis of the 9 October, 1995 (Mw = 8.0), Colima‐Jalisco, Mexico Earthquake, and its largest foreshock and aftershock
TL;DR: In this article, the source process of the 1995 Colima-Jalisco, Mexico, earthquake and its largest foreshock and aftershock were determined from teleseismic body waves, using a least-squares inversion scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
A first-order seismotectonic regionalization of Mexico for seismic hazard and risk estimation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined a seismic regionalization of Mexico for seismic hazard and risk analyses based on seismic, geologic, and tectonic characteristics, and used the frequency-magnitude relations relying on the a and b values of the Gutenberg-Richter relation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance Evaluation of the Earthquake Detection and Classification Algorithm 2(tS–tP) of the Seismic Alert System of Mexico (SASMEX)
TL;DR: A performance evaluation of the detection and classification algorithm for earthquake early warning 2( t S − t P ) was conducted to test its reliability and robustness in this article, where post facto tests are presented for 61 earthquakes for which SASMEX issued an alert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Velocity structure in northern Chile: evidence of subducted oceanic crust in the Nazca Plate
TL;DR: In this article, a 2D P-wave velocity model for the subduction zones near Iquique and Antofagasta in northern Chile, simultaneously inverting P and S-wave arrival times from locally recorded earthquakes for velocity structure and hypocentral locations.
