Computing the time-dependent activity rate using non-declustered and declustered catalogues – a first step towards time-dependent seismic hazard calculations for operational earthq... by D. Montiel-López, S. Molina, S. Molina, J. J. Galiana-Merino, J. J. Galiana-Merino, I. Gómez, I. Gómez, A. Kharazian, J. L. Soler-Llorens, J. A. Huesca-Tortosa, A. Guardiola-Villora, G. Ortuño-Sáez

“…To account for the spatial variability and the relationship of the earthquakes with the seismic sources, we incorporate the distance from the centre of the grid cell to the closest fault and the epicentre's uncertainty into the smoothing kernel as the average distance and the variance, respectively. To illustrate this methodology, we selected two scenarios as representatives of the high-seismicity region and low-to-moderate-seismicity region. …”
