Seismic Source Characterization

Seismic Source Characterization is a scientific methodology within seismology that identifies and quantifies the spatial, temporal, and physical properties of earthquake sources, such as fault geometry, slip distribution, and recurrence behavior, to constrain potential ground shaking in a given region.
