Do you like studying smallearthquakes for seismicforecasting? Then we have a MendenhallPostDoc for you! We want to take a holistic, theoretical & practical approach to study the use of small EQs in seismic forecasting: Apply by 1/6/22! USGS_YES

Given inherent real-time requirements of OAF, the current approach extracts the preferred event magnitudes from the ANSS Comprehensive Earthquake Catalog , without applying any conversions. However, this characterization is sensitive to transitions between magnitude types and associated anomalies in the apparent distribution of earthquake magnitudes. These issues can bias the forecast or require restricting analysis to larger events, reducing the resolution of the forecasts.

One approach to addressing these challenges would be to create an operational system capable of determining moment magnitude for small earthquakes in near-real-time, thus allowing the full range of earthquakes to be characterized by a single magnitude type. Although this may be possible ), significant resources would be required to bring such a system into routine operation.

The research envisioned in this Mendenhall Opportunity is to take a holistic view of the use of small earthquakes in seismic forecasting. We invite proposals to assess and address current issues, particularly related to earthquake magnitudes, in order to optimize our ability to forecast seismicity using small-magnitude earthquakes.
