Microseismicity Simulated on Asperity‐Like Fault Patches: On Scaling of Seismic Moment With Duration and Seismological Estimates of Stress Drops

Abstract Observations show that microseismic events from the same location can have similar source durations but different seismic moments, violating the commonly assumed scaling. We use numerical simulations of earthquake sequences to demonstrate that strength variations over seismogenic patches pr...
