چکیده

We have analyzed a seismological catalog of approximated 103.000 earthquakes with 0.1 ≤ mL ≤ 6.8 and depths ranging between 0 and 200 km. This catalog was estimated by the National Seismological Network of Colombia with 17 stations in the period 1993-2013. Data allowed calculate the spatial variations (dependence with depth) of the seismic regime (fractal dimension of the earthquakes distribution D) in a large portion of the Colombian territory. Variations of the fractal properties of seismicity were observed along depth, suggesting a stratified rheology and/or a differential behavior of the lithospheric system. Propagation wave results coming from other studies are agree with the estimations of this work.

Evaluating the performance of concentration-number (C-N) fractal model for separation of soil horizon regarding vertical distribution and 3D models

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the concentration-number (C-N) fractal model for discrimination of soil horizon regarding the depth distribution profile. In this regard, soil parameters such as pH, organic carbon content, calcareous mineral content, electrical conductivity and available phosphorus of Ziarat forestland in Golestan Province, north of Iran, has been investigated. The...

Application of multifractal modeling for separation of sulfidic mineralized zones based on induced polarization and resistivity data in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit, NW Iran

The aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the Ghare-Tappeh Cu deposit (NW Iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (IP) and resistivity (RS) using the concentration-volume (C-V) and number-size (N-S) fractal models. The fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. B...

Fractal dimension and earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution in the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB)

The Gutenberg–Richter parameters (a and b), fractal dimension (DC), and relationships between these parameters are calculated for different regions of the North of Central-East Iran Blocks (NCEIB). The whole examined area (between 34°-36° N and 55°-61° E) is divided into 55 equal square grids. Both the a and b values for the frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD) and the fractal dimension (DC) ...
