Fractal dimension and b-value mapping in northeast India

The statistical characteristics of seismicity, fractal dimension and b-values are mapped in the NE India region using permanent microearthquake network data and teleseismic data. The maps revealed the seismogenic structures and the crustal heterogeneities, which are useful for earthquake risk evalua...
