Description

Inter-event ground motion intensity variability is an essential measure to estimate seismic hazard. Over-estimation of this parameter can lead to extremely high estimates of annual hazard. In this paper we explore the different sources that affect variability of inter-event ground motion such as the spatial probability density functions of different rupture parameters (e.g. slip and rise-time), the spatial correlations of these parameters on a finite fault and the corner frequency of the moment-rate spectra.
