"Seismic hazard assessments based heavily on earthquake recurrence rates require that the same magnitude scale be used for all earthquakes evaluated to ensure that the assessment is unbiased and uniform across the area of interest no matter how large. Moment magnitude, MW, is generally seen as the magnitude of preference in current practice. However, it was not routinely calculated in the past for earthquakes in Canada, necessitating the conversion from other magnitude types in common use. This paper focuses on the offshore regions of eastern Canada, including the eastern Arctic, where ML is the day-to-day magnitude scale. Conversions to MW are established and evaluated"--Abstract, page [3]. Earthquake hazard analysis Canada, Eastern. Earthquake magnitude Canada, Eastern Measurement.
