Abstract
This paper is concerned with the determination of seismicity parameters for Irkutsk Region. To tackle this problem, we have made a complete earthquake catalog for the region using a unified magnitude scale for the time span from 1962 to 2021 inclusive. The determination of seismicity parameters is an important task prior to obtaining subsequent estimates of earthquake hazard. The solution of the problem is extremely important for insurance and reinsurance businesses, since it appears feasible to employ the probabilistic approach with utmost accuracy when dealing with assessment of seismic risk, and this in turn ensures that the best management decisions are taken in order to make a stable financial system of the company concerned.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Volcanology and Seismology publishes theoretical and experimental studies, communications, and reports on volcanic, seismic, geodynamic, and magmatic processes occurring in the areas of island arcs and other active regions of the Earth. In particular, the journal looks at present-day land and submarine volcanic activity; Neogene–Quaternary volcanism; mechanisms of plutonic activity; the geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes; geothermal systems in volcanic regions; and seismological monitoring. In addition, the journal surveys earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and techniques for predicting them.
