Seismic attenuation in the interior of British Columbia and westernmost continental craton / A.M. Farahbod and J.F. Cassidy.: M183-2/8221E-PDF
“This study examines seismic attenuation across western Canada in a wide range of tectonic environments - from an active subduction zone in the west, through a volcanic belt, to the stable craton in the east. We determine a clear link between the attenuation patterns, the tectonic setting, and the seismicity rate - with the greatest attenuation in the most seismically active regions, and the lowest attenuation on the stable craton. Our research helps to constrain the boundaries of various tectonic environments across western Canada, and provides new details on the seismic attenuation - both of which will contribute to improved earthquake and volcanic hazard models for this region”--Provided by publisher.
