One or more magnitude scales may be appropriate for estimating the size of an earthquake; therefore, earthquake catalogs invariably report different magnitude types. Toward preparation of a homogenized earthquake catalog, an important input parameter for seismic hazard estimation and other seismological applications, it is generally required to express the different magnitude types into a preferred magnitude type. Most studies prefer moment magnitude (Mw), as Mw does not saturate for higher magnitude earthquakes unlike other magnitude scales, and also, it is...
