Estimates the underground feedback activation afb, which is the a-value of the Gutenberg-Richter law (Gutenberg and Richter, 1944) normalized by the injected volume (e.g., Dinske and Shapiro, 2013).
1 | a_fb.val(Ntot, b, m0, Vtot)
|
Ntot |
total number of events above |
b |
the slope of the Gutenberg-Richter law |
m0 |
minimum magnitude threshold |
Vtot |
total volume of fluids injected |
This is equivalent to Shapiro's Seismogenic Index (e.g., Dinske and Shapiro, 2013) SI = log10(Ntot / Vtot) + b * m0 but here theoretically agnostic, following the notation of Mignan et al. (2017).
