Principles and Applications of Microearthquake Networks

In the fall of 1976, Professor Stewart W. Smith invited us to contribute an article on “Network Seismology as Applied to Earthquake Prediction” for a volume in the Advances in Geophysics serial publication. We felt that a review of microearthquake networks and their applications would be more appropriate with respect to our experience. The manuscript grew in size beyond the usual length of a review article. We are grateful that Professor Barry Saltzman, the Editor of Advances in Geophysics, accepted the manuscript for publication as a supplemental volume in this series.
