Electronic Supplement to
Plate-tectonic Analysis of Shallow Seismicity: Apparent Boundary Width, Beta, Corner Magnitude, Coupled Lithosphere Thickness, and Coupling In 7 Tectonic Settings

by Peter Bird and Yan Y. Kagan


This supplement presents all the global seismic subcatalogs of shallow earthquakes created and analyzed in this study. Plots of log-cumulative-number vs. magnitude are also included for maximum-probability subcatalogs. Note that no original earthquake locations or mechanism determinations were performed; the new work consists of dividing shallow seismicity by plate boundary setting in systematic ways, and analyzing the frequency/moment relations of the resulting subcatalogs.
