Variations in seismic parameters for the earthquakes during loading and unloading periods in the Three Gorges Reservoir area

Abstract As the largest water conservancy and hydropower project in China, the Three Gorges Reservoir is a weak seismic activity area before impoundment, but the frequency of earthquakes increases significantly after impoundment. The spatial density scanning method was used to obtain the characteris...
