Organizing Principles: CEUS sources
1) Specific faults• New Madrid, Charleston, Meers, Cheraw• recurrence from paleoseismology
2) Historical seismicity (gridded & smoothed)• future earthquakes will occur near past earthquakes• alternative to source zones• controls hazard in much of the CEUS
3) Large background zones based on geology• protection in areas with little historical seismicity, but
the potential for damaging earthquakes

Implementation
• Catalog (mb)• Regional completeness & b• Four “background” seismicity models:
1) Model 1: rate of mag ≥ 32) Model 2: rate of mag ≥ 43) Model 3: rate of mag ≥ 54) Model 4: regional “floor”
• Smoothing (2-D Gaussian): 50 km for M1, 75 km for M2 & M3
• Adjust rates for optimistic completeness• Final rates: weighted sum of Models 1–4

mag >= 3 since 1924 (smooth=50km)
mag >= 5 since 1700 (smooth=75km)
Smoothed Seismicity:
Avoid judgments about theseismogenic potential of enigmatictectonic features
Assume that future eqks will occurnear past eqks

Why 3 Gridded Seismicity Models?
• The maximum-likelihood method counts a magnitude-
5+ eqk the same as a small eqk
• In places where moderate-size eqks have occurred, but
small eqks are under-represented (e.g., the Nemaha
Ridge), a single model may underestimate the hazard
• Can think of it like a localized, variable b value

Combining rate grids (“adaptive weighting”)
• Define “historical” rate =
(Model 1 x 0.50) + (Model 2 x 0.25) + (Model 3 x 0.25)
• If historical rate > background rate: final rate = historical
• Otherwise: final rate = historical x 0.8 + background x 0.2
• Implications:
– If historical = 0, then final = 20% of the observed regional average rate
– Nowhere is final < historical
– Violates the CEUS historical seismicity budget by ~ 10%

NSHM mb & CEUS-SSC MW catalogs:• 1700-2006, Gardner & Knopoff decluster
• Exclude Charlevoix & New Madrid
• Get unique completeness levels & b values for each
For comparisons:• One seismicity rate model for each catalog (not M1-4)
- Use unique completeness & b- 50km smoothing
• Mmax: use NSHM 2008
• mb: b = 0.945, mbmin = 5.0, “mb” GMPEs
• MW: b = 1.069, Mwmin = 4.7 or 5.0, MW GMPEs
