Research in Seismology: Earthquake Magnitudes

Abstract

The report presents the findings of and summarizes the research activity for the 12-month interval 1 July 1974 through 30 June 1975. During that time principal effort was devoted to gathering and analyzing body- (m sub B) and surface-wave (M sub S) magnitudes for small and intermediate magnitude events in and near Eurasia, in order to seek out shallow depth earthquakes which appear anomalous according to the m sub b:M sub S criterion.
