Description
Summary:In this study, the visibility graph analysis of seismicity triggered by Song Tranh 2 hydropower (Vietnam) is performed. The relationship between the seismic (the Gutenberg–Richter <i>b</i>-value) and topological (the <i>k</i>–<i>M</i> slope) parameters of seismicity is analysed. Our findings indicate that the relationship between the Gutenberg–Richter <i>b</i>-value and the <i>k</i>–<i>M</i> slope of the investigated seismicity is in agreement with that characterising the tectonic seismicity. The results obtained from analysing the reservoir-triggered seismicity of Song Tranh 2 area could contribute to better characterisation of the relationship between the seismological and topological parameters of seismicity, strengthening the universal character of the relationship between the <i>b</i>-value and the <i>k–M</i> slope.
