B-value variations in the Central Chile seismic gap assessed by a Bayesian transdimensional approach
Abstract 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. Here we develop an algorithm to objectively estimate variations of b-value along one arbitrary dimension. To this end, we emp...
