The Geysers geothermal field located in California, USA, is the largest site world, operating since 1960s. We here investigate and quantify correlation between temporal seismicity evolution variation of injection data by examination time-series through specified statistical tools (binomial test to significant rate changes, cross seismic data, b-value analysis). To do so, we utilize operational associated with two wells (Prati-9 Prati-29) which cover a time period approximately 7 yr (from...

Catalogue-based studies are of central importance in seismological research, to investigate the temporal, spatial and size distribution earthquakes specified study areas. Methods for estimating fundamental catalogue parameters like Gutenberg–Richter (G-R) b-value completeness magnitude (Mc) well established routinely applied. However, magnitudes reported seismicity catalogues contain measurement uncertainties which may significantly distort estimation derived parameters. In this study, we...
